Looking for a great gift to give to the Deadhead in your life? Here are a few categories of potential presents you might want to consider.

Music

Think boxed sets, live imports, shows your friend attended, or shows with a favorite song. You might even make copies of shows you already own, placing a whole collection of, say, “the Dead in the Eighties,” inside a CD booklet. Too much work? Just pick up the latest “Europe '72” release—it's sure to be a winner!

DVDs

The Dead aren't just good to listen to; they're great to watch, too! Why not give your Deadhead friend a DVD of a live Grateful Dead show? Many DVDs have been produced over the years, and a quick look on the internet will uncover a slew of great live shows.

Sound Equipment

What Deadhead doesn't appreciate quality sound? Get that fun-loving friend in your life some new speakers, or a new stereo or mp3 player. They'll think of you all year when they're listening to the tunes they love.

Creature Comforts

Deadheads are usually laid back, mellow types, and as such, comfortable clothing and other lounge gear makes a great gift. Consider bedroom slippers, soft robes, baggy pajamas—anything comfortable that would be nice to wear while kicking back and relaxing.

Nature Gear

Encourage your Deadhead friend to get back to their natural roots by exploring the great outdoors. Give backpacks, hiking boots, water bottles, tents, and other adventure gear.

Tickets

Why not give your friend tickets to the latest Ratdog, Mickey Hart, or Phil and Friends show? Sure, it's not the same as when Jerry was around, of course, but the boys still put on a good show!
