I’m spending so much more time at home these days, and as a result I’ve been looking for ways to make my environment as welcoming as possible. Since coziness and comfort are on my mind, I focused on curating a gift guide that would spark joy and/or make playing your ukulele more convenient or comfortable. I love trying to pick out the perfect gift for my loved ones, and I hope this list helps you find a thoughtful gift for you or your favorite ukulele player. Ready? Let’s get gifting!

Happy Accessories
These charming ukulele leis are a popular addition to ukes (but make sure to factor in shipping times!), a cheerful case makes traveling a bit more fun, and a Hug strap is an adorable take on a practical accessory.
Gifts To Make Playing More Ergonomic and/or Convenient
Do you know what’s not cozy? Eye strain and bad posture! You know what is? Investing in a few items that will make your playing more ergonomic and comfortable.
Top row: This music stand has an adjustable height and also functions as a table-top stand, helping you maintain proper posture for reading sheet music. This tablet stand is also adjustable, making it easy to put it at eye level when you’re playing along to video tutorials, and this portable ukulele stand helps you keep your uke accessible for impromptu family jam sessions.
Middle row: A three-ring binder can contain all of those loose song sheets lying around, some pretty dividers can help you categorize those song sheets in a system that makes sense for you, and these sheet protectors make it easy to preserve your sheet music.
Bottom row: Colorful Bluetooth headphones are great for players who keep up with the latest YouTube tutorials, this tote bag can contain all of your cute uke accessories, and these polishing cloths can help keep your uke fingerprint-free.
Gifts for Singers
Many of us like to sing as we strum, and it’s important to take special care of our most important instrument—our voice! A gift basket stocked with this Uke Make Me Happy mug, herbal tea, honey, throat spray, pastilles, and a soft scarf are just the ticket to maintaining a happy voice throughout the cold winter months.
Gifts to Make Playing More Cozy
Finally, I’ve collected some items that can make your house feel cozier almost instantly. I tend to play more in the evenings, so I’ll curl up with a faux fur blanket and light a candle before picking up my uke. If you find that you haven’t been playing as much lately, increasing the cozy factor of your space might help you get back into the habit of playing.
Cozy Throw Blankets
Amazon has several beautiful (and machine-washable) options, and I’ve found many gorgeous and affordable options at my local HomeGoods and Marshalls.
Seasonal Candles
The Holiday Stroll candle from Homesick is a candle I’ll be buying for myself. I’m obsessed with this Volcano candle that I was given recently. This Frasier Fir candle from Thymes is the best smelling tree-scented candle I’ve found (and I’ve tried several!).
