In order to be able to buy unique but effective gifts for the Pink Floyd fan in your life, you need to understand the things that inspire someone who follows the band. There is more to a Pink Floyd gift buying guide than tie-dyed shirts and colored light bulbs. Here is a buyer’s guide of the top 10 gifts for Pink Floyd fans that includes things that you may have never thought of, but will be a definite hit with your Pink Floyd fan.

Monty Python – Pink Floyd themselves were huge fans of the comedy group Monty Python. The band invested funds into Monty Python to help make the movie “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.” That makes any Monty Python DVD or Blu-Ray, especially “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” the perfect gift for a Pink Floyd fan. Don’t forget that all of the episodes of the television show “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” are also available on DVD.

Incense – One of the best parts about listening to Pink Floyd music is to put on the headphones, close your eyes and just let the music work its way around your head. The smell of incense can help enhance that experience. That is why an incense holder and a couple of packs of incense make the perfect Pink Floyd gift. Some good scents to start with are sandalwood and strawberry.

“Live at Pompeii” – People get so caught up in giving Pink Floyd’s “Pulse” DVD and CD copies of “The Wall” as gifts, that they forget about the “Live at Pompeii” DVD. There is a director’s cut available that offers insight from the director as well as both versions of the movie; the original, and the extended version that includes footage of Pink Floyd in the studio along with interviews of the band.

Ginger Gilmour – Ginger Gilmour was David Gilmour’s wife for 15 years. She is also an artist that sells her work through her website. To own a piece of art from the former wife of David Gilmour would be something any Pink Floyd fan would cherish.

Polly Samson – Polly Samson married David Gilmour in 1994. Prior to marrying the Pink Floyd guitarist, Samson was a writer with several books to her credit. Since the marriage, Samson has continued to write books as well as contribute lyrics to David Gilmour’s musical endeavor. A Polly Samson book would be a welcome addition to the collection of any Pink Floyd fan.

“Inside Out” – Nick Mason, the drummer for Pink Floyd, wrote a very interesting biographical book about the band called “Inside Out.” It was not warmly received by the other members of the band, but it is a favorite of Pink Floyd fans all over the world.

Tour shirt – Pink Floyd has not toured since 1994, but there are several websites that sell replicas of old Pink Floyd tour shirts. The Pink Floyd fan in your life would proudly wear a tour shirt from the glory days of their favorite band.

Solo material – Each member of Pink Floyd, including Syd Barrett, has released at least one solo album. David Gilmour and Roger Waters solo albums tend to be the most popular, but the true Pink Floyd fan on your gift list would love a copy of a Rick Wright or Nick Mason solo album for their collection.

“Still First In Space, The Crew’s Story” – This is a DVD made back in 1986 by a former member of the Pink Floyd crew. It gives a unique look behind the scenes at a Pink Floyd tour, and it shows how the crew transforms an empty soccer stadium into a Pink Floyd wonderland. The DVD is only available through the Internet, but can easily be found with an Internet search.

Instruments – The Fender Company makes guitars for guitarist David Gilmour and bass player Roger Waters. Fender has also issued a signature model for each musician. Even if your Pink Floyd fan does not play an instrument, they would still treasure a Pink Floyd signature edition Fender guitar.
