That's great! Here are some gift ideas for your friend who loves new wave:
1. Vinyl Record Collection - New wave was a highly influential music genre that has been around since the late 1970s to the mid 1980s. A collection of vinyl records from her/his favorite new wave artists would definitely make a great Christmas present.
2. New Wave Band T-Shirts - Giving a new wave themed t-shirt can also be a great idea. You can find shirts of classic new wave bands like Joy Division, The Smiths, Depeche Mode or OMD.
3. New Wave Documentary Film - If your friend loves discovering new music history, give her/him a copy of a new wave documentary film. Revolution: New Art for a New World or Synth Britannia are both fantastic options.
4. New Wave Coffee Table Book - A coffee table book dedicated to her/his favorite new wave era or artist could be another great idea. Check out “Mad World: An Oral History Of New Wave Artists and Songs That Defined The 1980s”.
5. New Wave Themed Artwork - Another great gift idea for a new wave lover could be a piece of artwork that relates to this period. You can purchase original artwork, prints, or even posters from a concert.
