My bandmates are always talking about their back aches, so last Christmas, I gave each of them a massage gift card. They liked that a lot!

| | | | we always have a Christmas drink and drop, band plays , supporters come out, some jam with us , good times had by all , then usually the core three guys ( myself, the drummer and lead guitar player) pool some of our Christmas gift cards and get something for the band (last year it was a PA system) this year is a couple light trees and a DMX controler

Snark SN1 Chromatic Tuner for the guitar players and myself. Great to have around the house on your guitar or bass all the time. You can put it upside down on the headstock and rotate the display very easy visibility. It's also not visible from the front when you set it up like that. Amazon has them for less than $10. Different have different colors.
Nice features:
*With stay put clip, display rotates 360 degrees for easy viewing
*Features frequency range tailored for guitar and bass
*Pitch Calibration (415-466 Hz)
*Tap Tempo Metronome
*High sensitivity vibration sensor
*Easy to use
*Super clear display. 
More cowbell for the drummer.
