We want to help you avoid wasting your money on something that the DJ in your life won't end up using, and may even end up in a landfill. This gift guide ranks ideas based on price and usefulness, helping you avoid any waste.
Gift Vouchers (Overall Best Buy)
One of the best investments a DJ can make is in their own skills. Not only can they learn something new, grow as a DJ but they can experience something in real life, offering a memorable gift that they'll remember for their whole life. As the UK's top DJ school, we offer gift vouchers for a range of lessons and courses that are suitable for any age, ability level or style of music.

Vinyl DJ Course Voucher £599
Mixing on vinyl is a true art form, and highly respected in the DJ community. Many digital DJs want to learn how to DJ with vinyl records and turntables but need someone to show them how to do it. Our Vinyl DJ Course is becoming increasing popular with the resurgence of interest in vinyl mixing, and the nostalgia of using analog technology. Why not get your digital DJ a gift that can expand their skillset? Contact us to buy this course as a gift voucher. Lessons are available seven days a week from our studios in Camden Town, London.

DJ Lessons in Manchester and Birmingham
If you're looking for DJ or production lessons, courses and gift vouchers to use in Manchester or Birmingham check out DJ Gym.
DJ Equipment From (Cheap to Expensive)
One of the best gifts for a DJ is some shiny new DJ gear, but if you're not a DJ, how do you know what to buy? You don't want to buy the wrong thing! In this case we do recommend you chat to your DJ loved one and see what they would truly appreciate, but if you want to keep it a secret consider any of these LSA-approved DJ toys!
Beginner DJ Setup
The best DJ setup for a beginner DJ is the Pioneer DDJ FLX4. This portable DJ controller will plug into any decent laptop and allow them start mixing at home. It's also suitable for DJs joining our Beginner DJ Course and for online DJ lessons. If you're buying this option you can also consider getting some small speakers and headphones to bulk it out. Contact our team if you're interested in buying any Pioneer DJ equipment, because we get special prices!
Intermediate DJ Gear Upgrades
Looking for some DJ equipment for a DJ who has already got some decks? The best upgrade for an intermediate-level DJ would normally be an upgrade to something they already have, like headphones, speakers, controller, DJ furniture or something they haven't yet explored.
If you're looking for some cool DJ headphones we can recommend the AIAIAI TMA-2 Wireless headphones. They are fully LSA-approved and we love AIAIAI, they are a company that in constantly innovating both in terms of technology and design. Any DJ would be chuffed with a pair of these headphones! The retail price is around £200.
When it comes to controller upgrades, try and take a photo of their current DJ setup and send it to our team. We can then tell you what they have and advise on a suitable upgrade. Where an upgrade is really not necessary we will give you some alternative gift options to consider. There's a huge range of DJ equipment out there, something for every budget from small controllers like the DDJ FLX4 to full-on club-standard setups like the latest CDJ3000x. We know that can be daunting but you can contact us for free impartial advice and DJ equipment discounts.
Advanced DJ Tools
Do you think your DJ loved one already has all the gear? There is always something you can add, even to the most complex DJ setups. How about an external effects unit, sampler, turntable or drum machine. Snap a pic of their current DJ setup and contact our team for advice on what might boost their sound.
The dream setup for a professional DJ would be 2x AlphaTheta CDJ3000x's, DJMV10 mixer, RMX1000 FX unit, DJS1000 Sampler, 1x Technics 1210 MK7 turntables, speakers and of course a DJ booth to stack all your amazing gear. This would easily set you back a whopping £10,000 or more depending on the speakers and DJ booth you decide on!
LSA-Approved DJ Gadget Gifts
Other than DJ equipment, there's a massive range of tech toys, vital tools, accessories and DJ gizmos that make perfect gifts! Here's our top-ideas for the DJ that has everything!
USB's, Adapters & Cables
Here's some items that make great affordable stocking fillers: Some of the biggest consumables that DJs always need to stock up on include cables, adapters and USBs. Many of these will cost as little as £10.
LSA-Approved USBs for DJing
When it comes to digital DJing a stock of high-quality USBs is paramount. We can only recommend Sandisk USBs, in our experience running a DJ school with constant lessons in progress, these USBs will never fail you. We recommend the 32GB or 64GB models. Amazon is often the easiest place to get these and there are often Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals to be had in the lead up to Christmas. Consider getting the duel USB and USB-C model for ease of use.
Pimp Their USB or Headphones
Because many DJs use the Sandisk USBs, it's important to decorate them so they are unique and easy to tell apart. You could create a 'Pimp My USB' craft box with paints, stick-ons and things to help them customise them. We've even spotted something really cool! Here's one for the dark DJs! We spotted this awesome company, Moldavite Artefacts who create 3D-printed goth-inspired casings for USBs, Headphones, DJ mixers and CDJs. Note that these designs work with our recommended Sandisk USBs.
LSA-Approved Adapters & Cables
Many DJs also need multiple adapters to help them connect their gear together. Useful stocking fillers include USB-C adapters, RCA Audio Cables, XLR Audio Cables, Ethernet Cables, TP-Link Hubs, and many more. Need some guidance? You can always contact our friendly team for help.
Colour-Changing LED DJ Light (Best Value For Money Gift 2025)
DJ booths can often be dark and hard to navigate, so DJs will often have a little torch. It's also a great idea to control the lighting in your DJ booth to get the best, most flattering photos and videos of you performing. We've found a brilliant, value-for-money solution that works as a DJ torch, filming and photography lamp. It even fits in your pocket! This Neever LED light is colour-changing, battery-powered and magnetic making it easy to use even in the most tricky DJ booths. This is honestly one of the most useful things to buy a DJ in 2025 and comes LSA-Approved! Available on Amazon and their own website. There are also longer versions which are brilliant for home studios!
Osmo 360 Camera
We recently bought the new Osmo 360 camera for the studio and we're loving it! It gives you the option to shoot like standard wide-angle camera or shoot in 360. This gives DJs lots of variety in how they want their footage to look with the added bonus of creating more eye-catching videos. We love how the ultra-wide angle makes close-up shots of DJ equipment look! It comes highly recommended for DJs who want to capture their performances in the studio or out and about. RRP £299.
A Tall Filming Tripod
There are many tripods out there for all budgets but most of them are often too short. If you're going to buy a filming tripod for your DJ loved one, we recommend getting one that stretches high enough to capture the whole DJ booth. This will elevate any DJ footage they take to a professional level. We can recommend the Manfrotto brand for high-end professional tripods that are stable and hard wearing. They make a great investment for the long run and reduce waste.
Earplugs
Hearing protection is vital for DJs. Help them protect their hearing with some custom-made ear plugs that are expertly fitted. We only recommend professional-standard ACS ear plugs, they represent the industry gold-standard. We recommend the PRO20 model for DJs who can be in loud environments for long periods of time. Some DJs might even prefer models that reduce the sound further. There are many brands advertising sub-par ear protection online, be very careful not to fall for it. ACS are the best option for peace of mind.
Bags, Headphone and USB Cases
DJs need to take their own USBs and headphones to every DJ gig. Help them protect their most-used assets with a durable case, keeping everything clean and safe. There's a huge range of options on Amazon but you might always want to explore the DJs favourite UDG shop. They have been in the game a long time, keeping DJs records, headphones and gear safe from damage.
Dust Covers
Decksaver produces a range of durable transparent dust covers for DJ equipment. This such an awesome affordable gift because dust is a DJs worst enemy! They also protect from fatal liquid spills!
Evermix Recorder
When it comes to recording a DJ set, some mixers such as the industry-standard Pioneer DJM range will allow a DJ to record directly onto their phone or laptop. However, out there in club land DJs will often have to DJ with a range of mixers that don't support linking to a phone or laptop. In this case, the best solution is the EvermixBox5 and app, allowing for pro-end audio recording and streaming.
Vinyl DJ Gadgets
If your DJ loved one is mixing with wax consider some of these excellent vinyl DJ gadgets. Of course, some money to buy records would also be a great idea, many record shops offer gift vouchers.
Needles & Vinyl Care
One of the best presents for a vinyl DJ are a set of high-quality needles. Needles do wear out the more you use them so a brand new pair would make a brilliant present. There's lots of needles out there but we can recommend our favourite brand Ortofon who are stocked in all good record stores and DJ equipment retailers. You can even get them from the Ortofon Amazon store. Ortofon also stock a wide range of vinyl care accessories from dust brushes to needle boxes and high-end cables.
Vinyl Storage
Etsy has a large range of chic vinyl storage options from small slender cases for micro-collections to bulky industrial-strength cabinets for expansive collections. Click the link and search for 'Vinyl Storage'. Alongside storage solutions they also have many custom-made DJ booth producers!
Vinyl DJ Tools
There are some brilliant vinyl records made for specific DJ techniques, such as learning how to scratch. We love the Visual Vinyl series by Chris Karns. This record depicts the actual sounds that the needle plays, it's a really unique way to help you learn how to scratch and something we use in our studios.
Bandcamp Gift Voucher
One of the best places to ethically support artists directly is Bandcamp. This platform allows artists to sell their music on multiple platforms, including vinyl, direct to the public. This means producers keep more of their money but cutting our any middlemen. A gift voucher on Bandcamp is a win-win, you're supporting independent artists and also giving a valuable gift any digital or vinyl DJ will truly appreciate.
Beyond the Decks: Unique & Unforgettable DJ Gifts
here's some unique ideas to help fill Santa's sack! These ideas are a little outside of the box but can be excellent for taking them by surprise!
DJ Photoshoot
One of the most important ways a DJ can get more DJ gigs is by presenting themselves in a professional manner. A professional DJ photoshoot is the perfect gift to help them level-up their promotion, attract more attention and compete with the headline DJs. At LSA, we work with renowned DJ photographer Thomas Hensher. He offers gift-vouchers for DJ photoshoots in the studio behind the decks or on location at cool spots in London, Manchester and Birmingham. Click here to contact him and enquire about DJ photoshoots!
Custom-Built DJ Booth
Is your DJ loved one struggling with an awkwardly placed DJ controller, perhaps balancing on a ironing board or kitchen counter? They could be in desperate need of a DJ booth upgrade! A custom-made DJ booth, or a voucher toward the cost is a brilliant gift idea, something that can truly increase their enjoyment. Be it a hobby or a career a DJ booth to house their beloved DJ gear is one of our favourite ideas.
There are many DJ furniture producers, Etsy is a great place along with just a simple Google. Our favourite, and the one we trust to build DJ booths for our studios is Idokodo. They produce exceptionally designed, study and hardwearing DJ booths and ship worldwide! They are fully LSA-approved!
Press Their Track on Vinyl!
If your DJ loved-one is also a music producer, they may have dreamed of one day having their tracks on vinyl. Make this dream come true with a single pressing of their music and Elastic Stage. Here you can design some artwork and upload the audio file, they'll then press the track to vinyl and ship it to you for minimal cost. This is truly an awesome gift idea and LSA-approved quality! You do need a little knowhow to design some nice artwork though.
Music Production Options (Value to Blowout!)
Many DJs also dabble in music production. This is where they create their own tracks on the computer using programs such as Ableton, Logic or FL Studio. At LSA, we offer both DJ and Music Production courses, for all levels. All our courses can be purchased as a gift voucher so if your DJ loved one has already conquered DJing, it's time to help them make a move in production. Click here for our music production gift voucher options.
In addition to gift vouchers music producers will benefit from a range of gifts detailed here. Starting off with some value options...
Splice Subscription (Samples)
Splice, is the most popular service for music producers to access royalty-free samples. Their app allows seamless browsing and is highly organised, helping producers find the perfect sounds for their track. Subscriptions to Splice represent great value for money at £20 per month.
Keyboard Upgrade
Does your DJ loved one make beats using a tiny short keyboard? A longer keyboard with extra buttons and knobs can be a great upgrade. We love this Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol M32 MIDI Keyboard or the longer A49.
Studio Headphones
A new pair of pro-quality studio headphones can immeasurably improve the production process. We highly recommend the LSA-approved AIAIAI TMA-2 Studio Headphones, RRP £170.
High-end Production Monitors
A good pair of studio speakers can elevate any production. As with most music tech, there is a massive confusing range! Sometimes with something so critical, it's best to ask the recipient what they would prefer. However, if you want to keep it a secret take a photo of their current speakers and the whole room they are situated in and contact us for advice on a suitable upgrade. If you're looking for one of the most reputable brands, check out Adam Audio.
Acoustic Artwork
A common misconception is that you can sound-proof a room. This is almost impossible to do, but you can positively change the acoustics of a space by reducing reverberation and scattering the sound reflections. An easy way to do this is use a small studio room and have plenty of soft furnishings, failing that a great piece of acoustic wall art is an excellent alternative and makes for a perfect gift idea! Etsy is one of the best places to find custom-made acoustic artwork.
Ergonomic Production Chair
One of the most overlooked but important parts of a home studio is the chair! Comfort keeps you in zone and protects your back, a good ergonomic chair can really help the DJ/producer in your life. There's a huge range of chairs on Amazon, normally the best ones are listed under the term 'Gaming Chair' but there are also some speclist music production chair companies such as Corsair. You can find a useful blog here listing some of the best options.
Air-Purifying Studio Plants
Many music production studios are often small and claustrophobic. Even if they do, staying in doors for long stretches of time indoors breathing the same air can negatively affects ones creativity. A brilliant, natural and cost-effective solution is a science-backed choice of production plant. Certain plants have properties that help them filter airborne toxins and clean the air, making them perfect for music studios. Snake plants, English Ivy and Peace Lily's can all be found in our academy for a reason! Click here for more inspiration.
