Five Star Gift Ideas

A live music event is a great gift idea for your wife if she loves it. However, to make it more personal and meaningful, there are a few things you can do to take this gift idea to the next level.

1. Look for a concert of her favorite band or artist: If your wife has a favorite band or artist, then getting tickets to their concert would be an amazing gift. Many bands and artists announce their tours and dates months in advance so keep an eye out for those announcements. If you're not sure about her favorite band, check her playlists, likes or comments on social media posts to find out what she likes.

2. Choose a unique venue: Many music events are held in unique venues such as outdoor amphitheaters, historic buildings, and even art galleries. Check the type of music your wife likes and see if there are any non-traditional venues hosting those events. Attend a music festival and spend a night or two camping together.

3. Book a VIP experience: Make the concert experience even more special by booking a VIP experience. Some of these packages include things like early entry to the venue, exclusive access to private lounges, meet-and-greet with the band or artist, and even a chance to watch the concert from the side of the stage.

4. Combine music with other experiences: If you're planning a long weekend, you can plan to visit a city with a strong music culture that your wife would appreciate. Visit the Music City of Nashville, or take a trip to New Orleans. Depending on your budget and interests, you may also plan to take dance lessons together, experience an open-air music festival while touring a vineyard, or watch a performance by a local symphony orchestra.

5. Create a personalized playlist: Make a personalized playlist with her favorite songs, both old and new. You don't have to share this gift on the day of the concert. In fact, you can listen to it together while driving to the event. It is a sweet gesture that lets her know you're always thinking of her even when you're not together.

Remember, the key to a great gift is to make it personal and thoughtful. Susan Sarandon once said that what makes her happy to be with someone is that “You have the same dream about life, you share it, and you challenge each other to keep evolving and changing, and in that way you also get a mirror for yourself.” By incorporating her love for music into the gift, you create a memorable moment that she will cherish for years to come, and it will show her that you pay attention to her interests.Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash
