Guitar light switch plates and outlet covers

I consider it a sign of success that I can dedicate a post to light switch plates and outlet covers with a guitar theme.  I have been curating Live Like A Rock Star long enough that there are enough guitar themed light switch plates and outlet covers for their own post.  Other instruments will have their own posts, too.  Click here for the entire collection of light switch plates and outlet covers.

Gift Guide- the best gifts for your favorite rockstar

If you are shopping for a gift for a rockstar, an aspiring rockstar, or yourself as a rockstar, here is the best list of gifts for giving and receiving. Your rockstar may appreciate the gift card to the music store, but that is a bit the same as how your rockstar will appreciate getting socks & underwear as a gift from Grandma.

Cooking/entertaining

Chances are, if your rockstar loves to perform then your rockstar also loves to cook and/or entertain.

Now’s the time of the evening that the band has a drink…

Cocktail anyone?

Depending on the type of rockstar you are (or live with), National Beer Day may not have been especially celebratory.  If you are having a rockin’ cocktail gathering or stocking your bar cart, here are some things to get you started.

Fender Stratocaster decanter set:

This set features the classic stratocaster shape on the decanter and two straight sided glasses.

I think these ice cube/stirrers shaped like guitars are especially fun.

If you are having a martini, here are some skull and crossbones martini glasses.

Personally, I think any 10-ounce martini glasses should come with a skull and crossbones warning.

Maybe it is a beer-out-of-the-bottle night (or day) – some rockin’ bottle openers

Wine products for a rockstar

 

Storage is more than a box to put it in

Everyone is looking to control their clutter.  I’ve heard there are extreme minimalists that don’t have this problem, but I don’t know any.  (I would think that for an minimalist the clutter problem would actually be worse, but anyway).  In the spirit of controlling clutter and finding new, fun, and different ways to keep the clutter monster under control, my latest organization-crush is lunchboxes.

Fender Amp Tin Lunch Box

Lunch boxes.  Not just for lunch anymore (but still useful for lunch too).

A lunch box is the right size and shape to fit on a shelf, tabletop, or inside a drawer to keep small things together and neat and tidy.  Some places you may not have thought of using a lunchbox to keep small things:

  • Makeup table:  I like a lunchbox inside the drawer of a makeup table for lipstick, makeup sponges, or other small tools.
  • Bedside table: for small things that collect on the bedside table like eyeglasses, keys, coins, etc.
  • Desk: for sticky notes, pens, paperclips, etc.
  • Hobby/craft area: for various small things
  • Music studio: for guitar picks, extra packs of guitar strings, cables, etc.

Aquarius Boombox Tin Lunch Box

Since lunchboxes can close, they keep all these small things out of sight.  This is also an opportunity to have some fun with the lunchbox design and show off more of your personality than a plain desk organizer.

 

Then sometimes, you really need a lunchbox just to hold your lunch. This one looks like a Marshall amp head:

Cocktail stirrer guitar ice cube tray

When do your ice cubes also double as a cocktail stirrer?  When the ice cubes are shaped like guitars (in this case a Stratocaster, classical guitar, and Les Paul shape) and the guitar necks are non-melting cocktail stirrers!

Since this ice tray is made of silicon, it will tolerate the heat necessary to use as a chocolate mold.

Tray may come in other colors than pictured.
