Holiday 2010 Gift Guide: your music-obsessed boyfriend (or husband)

In case he ever wants to digitize his record collection (an idea that may or may not be blasphemy), this Crosley USB tech turntable, $129, is a pretty cool gadget to help him do so.

Mosley Tribes Hillyard Sunglasses, $165, are shades fit for a rock star—an under-the-radar, Brooklyn-dwelling one, that is.

Document debauchery the old-fashioned way: with an Instant Camera by Fujifilm, $96

Because, really, what's more rock-and-roll than making your own soda with a SodaStream Penguin Water Carbonator, $200?

Chances are he's already heard a lot of these, but if not...1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, $35

Ok, so, there's nothing music-related about this Inhabit Superyak Mock Henley Sweater, $268. It's just soft and warm and makes a nice present.

This limited-edition Max Dalton Ten Great Years Print, $59.99, details The Beatles' looks throughout their prime, and is a lot cooler than that framed Led Zepplin poster that's hanging in his office.

Lace-up boots like these J.Crew Chukka Boots, $275 (and out of stock--sorry!), are favored by indie rock stars of the British variety.

Jack Daniel's? That went the way of hair metal. Now it's all about small-batch bourbon, such as Basil Hayden's 8 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, $43.99
