2. Give the Gift of Needles: If you know a turntablist, or someone into DJ memorabilia, check out Smokin Shells. The SS-01 is a high mirror polished turntable head shell, developed by DJ Rasta Root for Smokin’ Shells. It fits any standard needle cartridge as well as fits on all standard dj turntables. 

3. Light Up the Booth: DJs who perform live will appreciate small, self-adhesive LED strip lights to illuminate their controller, turntable or DJ booth. These are available in a variety of colors and effects to add a touch of personality to their setup.

4. Keep it Organized: Help them keep their cables under control with a handy cable management bag.   There are many options on the market and these little bags come in a variety of sizes and designs to fit their specific needs.

5. Level Up Their Headphone Case: Jetpack bags created Deloop Sport, a dedicated headphone carrying bag with compartments for USB drives and cables will protect their precious gear while they're on the go. Perfect for any DJ, but especially those who work off of USB or SD media.
