What is ferrofluid you say? Well, I'm glad you asked because. It...Is... Amazing. Ferrofluid is basically a type of fluid that can be manipulated by magnetic fields. Because of that you can hook up an electronically controlled magnet that varies the voltage output according to the audio signal input, and ta da, the end result is a piece of kinetic art that is also a speaker. Basically, what I'm saying is that the music from the speaker makes the space liquid go BrrrRrRrRrRR. This thing is pretty amazing both in concept and in the way it looks. There's actually another company (art studio) that originally invented this concept. It was a pretty impressive feat at the time. However, the original speakers are often sold out and very expensive. I'm suggesting the smaller cheaper version to you, but for a good reason. The original ferrofluid speaker was made in partnership with the art studio 'Burn Slap' along side the artist 'Dakd Jung'. The original ferrofluid is called the FAV-ST22 (really rolls off the tongue) and can currently only be bought on resale websites like Ebay because it is often sold out, and unavailable. Anyway, all that brings me to this, the FAV-ST22 is an amazing speaker and you probably will never own one, BUT! You can own a speaker that is very similar for about 1/10th of the price.

Some of these bit on the pricier side, then again some of these are also pretty affordable. I don't know your budget, I don't know how you live. Regardless a variety of options is always a good thing when your holiday shopping. Maybe this artwork is for your wife or husband and you want to hang it up in your home to share it, together. Maybe your a huge fan of Deadmau5 and you want to splurge a little bit on yourself this year. Or Maybe you own an office and can write this off a business expense and investment. I don't know where your at in life. Where ever your at, it doesn't cost a million dollars to appreciate some good art so maybe you can take a look anyway. Back to the art, there is limited quantities of the paintings and 7 out of 15 of these prints have already been sold out. Depending on what your looking at, the price range is between $195.00 and $750.00, with the in between being around $350.00. The sizes of these typically measure at 2 ft x 2 ft, so consider that if your thinking about buying some and measure your wall beforehand. The art itself isn't made by Deadmau5, it was made in partnership of Deadmau5 alongside famous artists such as ... Cobykatz, Gregory Siff, & Paul Jackson. Since this collection is produced by several famous artists, I am willing to bet that these will go up in value some day once they all officially sell out. So, if you need help justifying this purchase in your head, there you go, your welcome.

The 'Soundwaves Art Foundation' is essentially an art project that gives all of the profits to charity. I mean come on...talk about a perfect gift for the holidays. I can't think of an idea that checks more boxes than this right here. It involves art, music, a thoughtful gift, and giving to charity. Not to mention the selection. My word. The selection of musicians and songs that you have to choose from is just endless. the List goes on and on. Honestly, I get a bit of decision paralysis from just looking at all the options, but if you narrow the search down by genre then it gets a lot easier after that. The price range of these can vary depending on the size you want, whether the artwork is signed by the musicians or not, and what edition print the artwork is (like a comic book).

Typically the price ranges look something like this ..

Unsigned Prints- $75 - $350 (depends on size)

Signed prints 24 x 24 - $150 - $350 (depends on if you want it framed or not)

Originals 38 x 38 - A couple thouse (with the option of different colors)

The charity itself puts the money into a variety of organizations that help with some of the worlds more pressing problems including Mental Health, Environmental Problems, Disaster Relief, Social Justice, and Music Education. So if you want to get someone a gift but you also want to help make a difference in the world then you know where to look this holiday. The Soundwaves Art Foundation.

You can but these wooden guitar picks online at www.Etsy.com from 'CraftsbyAden' and wow...What a spot on gift for anyone that plays guitar in your life. These guitar picks are classy looking, great for decoration, and will remind whoever you gift these that you care about them, and care about what they do in life. It's more than just a decoration, or a gift, it's a reminder to someone that you support their hobbies and passions. In art that's very important, especially if they just started playing guitar. They might quit if they start to feel too discouragred. Don't just be a part of someones holiday, be a part of someones life with this very nice and thoughtful gester. These are pretty cheap too considering what you get for what you pay. Considering how unique these are (I've never seen them in my 20+ years of making music) your going to have a hard time finding a guitar themed present that gets you more bang for your buck. As far as personalization goes, you can get words engraved into the picks and even minimalistic symbols and logos. The wood comes with a choice of four different options including; Oak Wood, Black Wood, Walnut, and Redwood. Those are some high quality options. A box and one pick from every option of wood will only cost you around $25.00, nothing too crazy. Affordable, thoughtful, quality. Thats what these are right here.

First of all, when you go to the website to buy this product it's going to look like the price is $2999.00, but don't panic. The actual price is a rather affordable $29.99. I feel like the rest of this list kind of leaned towards older generations possibly. So this doll (action figure) would be great if your doing shopping for someone a bit younger who's into pop music and or is a big fan of Billie Eilish. This toy is great for the older generation as well. The figurine could be a great addition to somebodies game room, music room, tv room, and so on... The doll kind of speaks for itself. It's Billie Eilish. The dolls (action figures) look is modeled after how she looked performing on stage in Los Angeles some time ago. It's collectible, it's a toy... it's just fun. Someone younger might get more use out of this because they actually know how to play with toys, but if your older, who knows. Maybe it will be worth something some day. Maybe you know an older Billie Eilish fan, I don' t know your life. Like I said the gift kind of speaks for itself, any fan of Billie would enjoy this around the house and I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't've thought to buy this gift. Which means you don't have to worry about buying the same gift as somebody else this holiday.
