You should have finished all of your Christmas shopping by now, right? All of those expertly-wrapped presents are nestling beneath the tree in anticipation of their gleeful reception on Christmas morning...

It's a wonderful image, but the reality is that like most of us here at MusicRadar, you'll be weaving your way through the teeming hordes of shoppers on Christmas Eve, desperate to find something for that difficult great aunt who lives with seven cats and only eats yellow food.

Other than a bumper pack of bingo dobbers, we're all out of suggestions on that score... unless she plays guitar, that is. What follows is a essential reading for anyone with a guitarist in their life: 10 great Christmas gifts for guitarists, mostly less than £50 each and all killer stocking-fillers.

To kick off, we present the Danelectro Hodad DH1 mini amp.

While most battery-powered practise amps have all the personality of a house brick, the Hodad is loaded with tremolo and slapback echo effects so even when it's cold outside, the lucky recipient of one of these retro twang machines can be on a surf safari.

Failing that, they can always rockabilly their way around the Christmas tree. Read the review here.
