When I recently checked my blog statistics, I noticed that some of our readers are searching for gift ideas for that wonderful music therapist in their lives. Here are my top 5 suggestions, that hopefully are helpful for you this season:
- Sing You Home, the latest book by Jodi Picoult is a story about a music therapist. Board certified music therapists were on the consulting team for this book, and it has been a huge step forward in educating the general public about music therapy. You can find this one at any local bookstore.
- Gift certificates for supplies and resources, for places such as iTunes, Amazon, and your local music and electronics stores. The cost of every thing has gone up exponentially in the last few years, so gift certificates that can help pay for work related items helps immensely – especially for contract MT’s required to bring their own supplies to work.
- WordPress website templates are a great gift to help a music therapist get started on the business and marketing aspects of attracting new clients. These new WordPress theme websites are modern, very user-friendly, and inexpensive (I’m planning on upgrading to one in the new year!).
- Gifts to encourage self-care (because many of us are so bad at this!), such as scented candles, bath beads and salts, or books like Mike George’s 1001 Ways to Relax.
- Groupon coupons for a better price on a great gift – any coupons for spa services, photography or adventure dates with my hubby always seem to catch my eye!
Another great resource I use when I’m stumped for gift ideas is Gifts.com. They have a tool where you can search for gift ideas based on a personality test of the person you a buying for. It’s fun to fill out and has gotten me through some tough spots when I’m unsure of what to get someone.
Happy shopping!
