A COLLABORATIVE POST WITH BOOM BOX POST
It’s the most wonderful time of the year again and we want to start off the season with our holiday gift guide!
In years past, our holiday wish lists have mainly centered around audio gear. But considering this year is unlike any other, we have a great mixture of audio, work from home, and 2020 escapism gifts that even Scrooge himself wouldn’t bah-humbug!
So prepare your online shopping carts for…

Sometimes you don’t need a huge mic stand. This neat foldable microphone tripod is perfect for tabletop and ground level recordings!
Work From Home Necessities
Stand-Up Desk Converter / Price 169.95
Although the majority of us—if not working from home—would just be sitting in an office, work from home life has proved to be a whole new level of stationary. A few of our editors have recently purchased this stand-up desk converter and absolutely love it!
Quality Headphones / Price Varies
We are all on Zoom calls these days, and those who have kids are likely working in louder than normal environments. Also, earbuds hurt your ears after an hour of wear and built-in computer speakers are just a no-go! That’s why it is time to invest in some quality headphones…or at least ask Santa for some ;)
Two headphones we highly recommend are the Sony MDR7506 and the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro. Looking for more options, here is a full blog post dedicated to some of our favorite headphones!
Seagate Portable 1TB External Hard Drive / Price $47.99
It feels like everything that could go wrong this year did in fact go wrong. The last thing anyone needs to add to their 2020 bingo card is losing important documents. That’s why we think a universally perfect gift is an external hard drive. That’s right, you get a hard drive, and you get a hard drive, and you get a hard drive! If there has ever been a year that’s shown us all how important it is to be backing up our stuff, it’s 2020.
Anker 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub / Price $11.99
Desk Cable Organizer / Price $6.95
Working from home can get pretty messy. That’s why this cable organizer makes the perfect stocking stuffer. Since we’re heading into a new year, let’s start it off organized!
Escape 2020!
BlissLights Laser Star Projector / Price $49.99
These things have sky-rocketed this year (see what I did there?) Who wouldn’t want to kick back at the end of a long socially-distanced day and stargaze in their very own house? This projector is also a great way to instantly boost the vibes in any studio or WFH office! Everyone on Zoom will be jealous of your starry projections.
Ultimate Aromatherapy Diffuser / Price $39.95
Since most of us are spending the majority of our days inside, this essential oil diffuser is the perfect way to transport you out of your living room! Ease all your 2020 stress away with this compact diffuser and essential oil starter kit.
