Nothing is worse than waiting weeks for a concert, only to have your phone battery deplete an hour into the show.
That’s why INIU Portable Charger is the perfect gift for concert lovers. The device promises to charge iPhones up to 78% percent in one hour. In addition to the charging bank, the purchase comes with a USB-C cord and a travel pouch. But don’t worry, the charger is small enough to fit in your pocket.

This FramePro shadow box is a two-in-one gift. It provides a safe place to keep concert ticket stubs and it can also be hung on the wall. The box features a sleek black design and a clear front panel. The frame comes in white and a color called carbonized black – which has a wooden appearance.
Custom Acrylic Album Cover ($21.00)
This custom acrylic plaque can be personalized to fit your music needs and is small enough to fit on a desk or nightstand.
You can add a photo of your favorite artist, album, or a selfie from the concert as the image on the acrylic. It comes in two different sizes and the text can be white or black.
Personalized Concert Merch (Starting at $24.95)
Everyone loves concert merch, but it can get a little expensive. Luckily, Personal Fury offers a personalized t-shirt for just $24.95.
