What to Buy a Music Lover: Group Gift Ideas for Kiwi Mates
Every friend group has that one musical person. The one who casually picks up a guitar at a party and suddenly everyone is singing. The one who gets lost in a record store for hours. The one who zones out the moment they hear a new riff.
Musical friends are passionate, creative, and very easy to shop for when you know what hits right. The challenge is usually the price tag. That’s where group gifting becomes magic. When everyone chips in, the big things suddenly become possible.
Here are some great group gift ideas you can actually get in Kiwi stores with Prezzee-supported options. Each one is a dream pick for anyone who lives and breathes music.
1. A Guitar That Fits Their Vibe
If your mate has been borrowing guitars or playing that one they’ve had since high school, this is your moment. Pooling funds lets you help them upgrade to something sturdy, comfortable, and inspiring.
Look for:
- An acoustic for the chill songwriter
- An electric for the riff-lover
- A travel-sized guitar if they’re always on the go
Guitars are the perfect group gift because everyone feels like they’re contributing to something special.

2. An Organ for the Friend Who Loves Big Sound
This is a bold gift. It’s perfect for the friend who loves layered, rich sound and wants to play more than just a simple melody line. Modern compact keyboards or organs fit in bedrooms, flats, and home studios, so it doesn’t need to be an enormous piece of furniture.
Great for:
- Family group gifts
- Flatmates chipping in
- Friend groups celebrating a milestone birthday
A real instrument gives them more creative range and opens the door to new musical projects.
For the ones who don’t have a lot of space and they want to practice anywhere, they might enjoy this Royale 88 Keys Portable Roll-Up Keyboard Piano.
3. A Spotify Premium Subscription
This is one of the easiest wins. Every musical friend needs uninterrupted listening without ads breaking the mood.
Why it’s perfect:
- Affordable for groups
- Zero guessing required
- They’ll use it every single day
It’s simple, thoughtful, and very Kiwi-friendly.
4. Studio-Quality Headphones
A good pair of headphones is essential for any music lover. They help with listening, recording, mixing, or simply vibing out without noise leaking into the room.
What matters most:
- Comfort for long sessions
- Good sound quality
- Reliable brand
This is a great group gift because everyone can chip in a little and still help them get something that lasts.

5. AirPods or Wired Headsets
Musical friends are always on the move. Wireless earbuds or solid wired headsets make it easy for them to listen anywhere.
AirPods are great for:
- Daily listening
- Studying
- Commuting
A wired headset works well for:
- Recording vocals
- Practising instruments
- Late-night sessions
Both options are practical, personal, and guaranteed to be used.
6. A Stack of Records That Match Their Taste
There’s something special about records. They feel nostalgic and personal, and they double as room decor. If your musical friend loves vinyl, you can’t go wrong.
How to choose:
- Pick albums that influenced them
- Find artists they love
- Ask close friends for hints if you’re unsure
You could also gift a Prezzee card for a music or entertainment store so they can pick out the exact records they want.
