Banjo Stocking Stuffer Gift Ideas

The fun of the holidays is finding that little something that is “just right” for anyone you know. But, that is also the challenge when it comes to folks who have “everything” they need! When it comes to banjo players, however, I think I can make your hunt just a little bit easier.

  1. DEERING THUMB SCREWS:

Doesn’t sound like a “festive” gift, you say? But it will put a smile on the face of the banjo player who receives it without a doubt!

One of the easiest ways to upgrade a Goodtime resonator banjo is to buy thumb screws to use on the flange of the banjo. While the Phillips screws are sturdy, they are not as convenient to remove as a thumb screw because you need a screw driver.

The thumb screws that we use on our upper line will work very beautifully on a Goodtime resonator banjo. They make removing the resonator to tighten your banjo head so much easier. They are small enough to fit in a stocking. They are gender and age friendly. In short, they will be much appreciated by one and all.

You may want to get some extra thumb screws for ANY banjo player as well. These can often come loose without noticing on the heavier banjos and having a spare is always a great idea!!

  1. CANE TOAD PICK POUCH

Unique? You bet! Functional? Of course! Conversation starter? Undoubtedly.

These funny little pick pouches are perfect for the banjo player in your life. It can’t fail to put a smile on their face and is a great way to keep track of your banjo picks. I can’t seem to have enough of them when I take them to folks festivals. Don’t travel…just let your finger do the walking to the link below.

  1. DEERING COASTERS

No one likes rings on their furniture and what better way to show your Deering pride that to use one of our limited edition Deering sandstone coasters. With rubber padding so they won’t mark your furniture, absorbent, and thick enough so they won’t come popping up with your glass, these coasters are fun and an easy stocking stuffer for your Deering banjo owner!

  1. DEERING STONEWARE COFFEE STEIN

Better than the average cup. Keeps your beverage warmer longer. Hand made in the USA. Bears the Deering name with pride. And just plain fun to drink out of, the Deering coffee steins come in two different colors for you to choose from. These limited edition coffee mugs change from year to year so add this one to your collection before they are gone. Maybe a bit heavy  as a stocking stuffer but great for under the tree! Pair it up with a coaster to make a great set!

  1. CARE CLOTHS

To keep the banjo in good condition, it is really best to wipe it down after each playing session. We have made it both safe…because you don’t want to use just anything on your wood surfaces…and easy with a simple care cloth set.

Buy one or buy all three, either way you can easily slip them into the stocking of your banjo player. It will encourage them to keep their favorite instrument clean and take one more item off your gift list.

  1. STRINGS

You can never have too many string sets on hand. You always need AT LEAST one because I can almost guarantee you that a string will break when you least expect it. I know…I was on vacation without a spare set when it happened to me!

You are safe with most players buying the LIGHT gauge set as those are pretty universal. You might want to take a peek at what banjo they have just be sure it is a 5-string. We have strings in 4,5,and 6 strings set so you should be able to find one to fit the right banjo!

  1. STRAPS

NEW and gloriously rich leather straps have been added to the website offerings in the last few months. Supple, sturdy, vintage brown leather straps made in the USA for all different models are just waiting to be put under the tree…or inside the stockings! You should check out which banjo your player has so you order the right one…but we have plenty to choose from.
