There are all sorts of gadgets for the musician, but have you ever wondered what would make a good gift? Some are practical, some whimsical and some just a really great idea. I spent about a third of my life as a working musician and some of these items weren't available back then. I wish they had been. I could have used some and certainly would have given some as gifts.

Guitar Chord Rubber Stamp and Ink Pad
This stamp is a great gift for your guitar player or teacher. No more squiggly, uneven lines, but now a neat, way to stamp the top five frets of the guitar. Fingerings can be noted for students learning to play up to professionals who want to remember a special voicing of a chord.
The stamped image is approximately 1 1/2 inches by 1 inch.
Don't forget ink. Tsukineko's Memento inkpads are a standard for paper crafters and would easily accomodate the Guitar Chord Rubber Stamp. It's a fast drying ink and comes in 24 colors for more artistic expression.
