Top 5 Music Gifts
1) Skwitch Touch & Play Music Button
The music button clips onto an iPhone and transforms it into a full-spectrum music machine through its app. Tactile yet digital, the button lets kids scratch beats for hours of expressive playtime. Source instruments and filter sounds to create chords, riffs, and melodies with a one-button band.

A shake is all it takes for Loopit headphones to untangle themselves. Magnets connect the earbuds and audio jack, sidestepping the threat of tangled wires.
