If you’re not a DJ yourself, it can be pretty daunting trying to find a really great gift for a DJ.
But don’t worry, we’ve got your back.
This list of best gifts for DJs is so damn cool, we had to hide our credit cards from ourselves while compiling it.
Let’s jump straight in…
Best Gifts For DJs
In no particular order…
Alpine MusicSafe Pro Earplugs
Safety first people, safety first!
Great hearing is the most important thing a DJ has, and once it’s gone, it’s gone forever.
But, that said, it’s never too late to start protecting those all important ears.
Even if your DJ pal, girlfriend, brother, or whoever, has not bothered with earplugs before now…
…well, they can start today!
These Alpine MusicSafe Pro Earplugs are affordable and they don’t make it sound like you’re underwater.
Crystal clear sound…just not as loud!
Probably one of the last things your DJ buddy might be expecting as a gift, but they will thank you further down the line…
…like when they don’t have tinnitus in their forties!
Slipmats
Here’s a super affordable and cool DJ gift…providing the DJ in your life is using either vinyl, or a Digital Vinyl System (DVS) of course.
So long as they are using either Vinyl or a DVS, this is a top gift that will always be appreciated.
If these Technics Slipmats aren’t quite cool enough for your liking, simply pick a pair that you can get customised with a name or logo.
Corsair Flash Survivor Stealth
A USB stick?
A cool gift for DJ’s?
Yes!
For any DJ mainly playing digital, losing a USB stick can be disastrous!
The Corsair Flash Survivor Stealth is the daddy of USB sticks and no DJ should be without a couple in their bag.
Made with aircraft-grade aluminium, it is waterproof and shockproof.
Plus, it stands out in a crowd, so you won’t pick up another DJs USB by accident…double disaster!
DropMix Board Game
Here’s a fun DJ gift to open on Christmas Day morning, or any other morning come to think of it.
DropMix is a quick-moving board game for up to 4 players, that you’ll need a smartphone or tablet to play.
Developed by Hasbro and Harmonix, creators of Rock Band and Dance Central, the game lets players create mashups and remixes by using playing cards on the DropMix board.
Great fun to play after a couple of festive drinks.
Logitech 930
Well this one looks a whole lot more grown up doesn’t it?
The Logitech 930 is an entry level webcam for DJs looking at getting into streaming their live mixes.
This is a full HD webcam that records videos in 1080p quality and comes with a bunch of settings that assist in panning, zooming, and tilting.
For the crazy low price this is pretty much perfect for any DJs early adventures into streaming.
Serato DJ Pro Software
Now you will have to do a bit of homework with this one.
Because with an entry level price in the region of of $250…
…you don’t want to be gifting this only to find that your ungrateful DJ recipient isn’t using the required compatible hardware.
If they are, and they are also in your ear on the regular about wanting to get into DJing with Serato, this is well worth the money.
Serato DJ Pro is the most popular DJ software globally, it is feature rich and renowned for its usability and outstanding reliability.
A top gift for a DJ…but as I said earlier, definitely do a bit of homework on this one.
Last Night A DJ Saved My Life: The History Of The Disc Jockey
One of the best non-fiction books I’ve ever read.
An outstanding gift for DJs, aspiring DJs, record collectors, lovers of dance music.
Last Night a Dj Saved My Life – The History of the Disc Jockey is totally exhaustive and brilliantly written!
Authors Bill Brewster & Frank Broughton know, and love, what they are on about.
I promise you, that if you gift this to a DJ, they will absolutely love it!
Daft Punk 500 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle – Around The World
Nothing quite says Boxing Day afternoon like a jigsaw puzzle.
And a Daft Punk ‘Around The World’ Jigsaw Puzzle…
…well that says you’ve put a lot of thought into your present buying.
Old-Skool fun. Nu-Skool fun. Totally timeless!
Evermix MixBox4 Recorder
This snazzy little piece of kit records the output from a DJ mixer, or controller, and sends it to an Evermix app on an iPhone…
…all perfectly ready for upload.
Recording live mixes has never been so easy, thanks to the Evermix MixBox4 Recorder.
So popular that the company has been struggling to meet demand ever since it was first released in 2018.
Without a doubt, a top quality DJ present!
Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator Synths
Mini synthesisers that look like calculators.
Why did nobody think of this sooner?
Drums, bass, lead synths, noise percussion, it’s all here.
Your DJ buddy will be able to start up their own pocket band!
Each Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator Synth unit can be used either separately, or connected to one of the other units.
Gift one of these genius inventions to the DJ in your life, and they will never be bored again.
Reloop Neon USB Modular Pad Controller
This is a little bundle of joy.
What DJ wouldn’t be happy getting a brand-new drum pad, so that they can add new sound FX and loops to their mixes.
This Reloop Neon USB Modular Pad Controller works with Serato DJ…
…and will help your DJ create sounds that are totally unique and that would be difficult to create with a standard setup.
With 8 customisable drum pads, any DJ who knows about MIDI will be up and running with this little gem in a matter of minutes.
Please do check that the DJ in your life is using Serato DJ before parting with your cash for this one.
Transcend 1 StoreJet External Hard Drive
Every digital DJ needs disk space.
This is why DJs love hard drives.
And with 1TB of space (which is an awful lot), this hard drive will be enough for pretty much any DJ.
Honestly, the Transcend 1 StoreJet External Hard Drive is the modern day equivalent of building and extension on your DJ pals house…
…just to keep their vinyl in!
Coasters Set of 6 Colorful Retro Vinyl Record Disk Coaster for Drinks
Super cheap, super fun!
I mean, if this is for your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife etc., and it’s meant as anything more than a fun stocking filler…
…you could be in a bit of serious festive bother here!
But, assuming that’s not the case!
Assuming you’re not gifting this set of 6 Vinyl Record Coasters to someone who’ll be spending a few hundred bucks on you…
…as an excuse for their main present!..super fun!
MAGMA Riot DJ Backpack Lite
The Backpack Lite is the smallest bag that Magma do, but it’s one of the best designed DJ bags on the market.
Primarily for laptop DJs, it can carry a up to a 17-inch laptop, laptop stand, plus 12-inch control vinyl.
Plus the MAGMA Riot DJ Backpack Lite has loads of extra compartments for stuff like sound cards, headphones and cables.
And it’s 100% waterproof…and it fits under an airline seat…
…and it will probably last forever, because it’s made in Germany!

TISINO 3.5mm to 1/4 inch Stereo Adapter
The number 1 item lost by DJs.
Dropped on the floor, there is nothing known to man that will roll further.
So, given that they are both absolutely essential, and get lost all the time…
…a DJ can never have enough of them.
This high-quality TISINO 3.5mm to 1/4 Headphone Adapter (1/8 inch Female to 1/4 inch Male) is bigger and better-looking than most…
…so maybe it will be a little less easy to lose.

The Concorde DJ is a jack-of-all-trades, and master-of-all-trades.
With outstanding sound reproduction and excellent groove handling, I just love them!
Plus, the Ortofon Concorde DJ Cartridge and Stylus are great for any style of music.
Please keep in mind that they are sold both individually and as a pair….
…so just be a little careful when ordering that you’re getting the number you want.
3 Worst DJ Gift You Should Never Buy
I think we can probably all agree, that nothing quite says ” I don’t give a £uck” like a crappy mug does.
And not just any old mug, but a totally woeful personalised mug…
…like getting one with your name on it implies some kind of effort was made…
…which it wasn’t, of course.
Buy this for the DJ in your life, and it will probably be the last time you ever have to get a gift for them.
