Bottles Galore<\/h2>\n

Water is like gold to a singer, and any actor and dancer will know the importance of having water with them at all times. Why not give them a colourful water bottle, so it\u2019s never far from reach. Here\u2019s some of our favourites:<\/span><\/p>\n

Steam Away<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s all about those vocal chords, keeping them healthy and hydrated so they can create a heavenly sound. A steamer is a great gift for both actors and singers, soothing and hydrating the vocal chords whilst ensuring that the airways are free and open. Here\u2019s a few options:<\/span><\/p>\n

Steam Inhaler Cup<\/a><\/p>\n

Amplify the Sound<\/h2>\n

If you know a singer who performs live, treat them to a dynamic microphone like the Shure sm58. It\u2019s one of the most used microphones for live vocals and will put a smile on any singer's face, without breaking the bank. Find it here:<\/p>\n

Strappy Stuff<\/h2>\n

Photography gear can be expensive, but you don\u2019t have to remortgage your house to get your hands on some really cool accessories. Show off a photographer\u2019s personality with a colourful or personalised strap. Try these Etsy shops<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep it Toasty<\/h2>\n

If you know any dancers, help them keep those pins warm this winter. As a dancer, you can never have too many pairs of leggings as it\u2019s important to stay warm at all times in the studio. Woolly socks and gloves? Nope, not this year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bag it Up<\/h2>\n

Dance shoes, dance-wear, microphones, studio time.... These things all add up and there might not be much left for a swanky looking studio or kit bag. Get your singer, actor or dancer something they won\u2019t spend money on themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n
