Gifts for music lovers run into the same wall as every hobby gift: the recipient already owns the equipment, in a specification the giver cannot possibly know and would be wrong to guess at. The guitarist has the guitar. The knitter has the needles. The photographer has opinions about the lens the giver was about to buy. A hand-painted glass ornament of the hobby sidesteps the whole problem — it does not try to join the kit; it commemorates the kit’s owner, and it hangs at eye level where the household can see what somebody in this house disappears to do.

This collection covers the weekend’s whole territory: electric and rock guitars, a grand piano and a jukebox for the music household; a knitting basket and two tape measures for the makers; a still camera and a movie camera; sneakers, a yoga mat, an ice skate, an arcade machine, a game controller, a slot machine, and a crossword for everyone else. Each piece is blown and painted by hand at the Chive studio. It arrives gift-ready, needs no sizing, and holds no position on string gauge, yarn weight or sensor size. Ships across Canada from our Toronto studio.
