I don’t know about you, but I’ve met some of my best friends at shows and festivals. The times I’ve brought one of my close friends to an event, we’ve left even closer friends. There is something about electronic dance music (and music in general) that has the power to draw two strangers together or strengthen already strong connections.
With that being said, there isn’t anything that I wouldn’t do for my best raver pals. Now that we’re in the middle of the 2013 holiday season it’s time to show the ones you love that you really appreciate them. Be it your girlfriend, boyfriend, or best friend… the items that I’ve listed below will definitely make a perfect gift for your beloved raver.
1. Counterpoint Tickets
If you’re looking to blow every other gift your loved one will receive out of the water, purchase them a CounterPoint 2014 ticket. This event is set to take place on April 25th, 26th, and 27th in Kingston Downs, Georgia. WhiteRaverRafting is expecting CP to be a highlight of the 2014 American dance music festival circuit. Last years festival was outstanding and this year we can expect even better production, more talent on the bill, and a bunch of new ravers.
Tickets are currently in the early bird stages, sitting at $160 for a limited time. You can’t beat that deal.
Purchase CounterPoint 2014 Tickets
2. Camelbak
Any experienced raver knows that having a Camelbak is game changing when festival season rolls around. Hydration is most important during any event and the more people in your crew with a Camelbak the better. On Camelbak’s official website bags range from $58.00 – $130.00. This gift will last throughout a raver’s entire career.
Purchase a Camelbak on Camelbak.com or DicksSportingGoods.com
3. Anything from Bad Kids Clothing
Most WhiteRaverRafting readers know about BadKidsClothing, but for those not familiar you must check them out. Bad Kids Clothing is not just a brand, but a life style within the electronic dance music scene. Their apparel ranges from trendy crop tops for females to stylist tank tops for men as well as accessories including necklaces and hats. I recommend browsing their catalog, you may find some swag to gift your close raver pals this holiday.
4. Dr. Scholl’s Tri-Comfort Orthotics
Foot discomfort is a real downer during a long day of music at a festival or show. However, ravers can easily combat the pain with Dr. Scholl’s Tri-Comfort Orthotics. This would be a pleasant surprise for a gift, trust me they’ll thank you.
Purchase Dr. Scholl’s Tri-Comfort Orthotics
5. A Flowtoys Product
I’ve seen a lot of amazing hoopers and glovers in my day and if you know someone with said talents then Flowtoys may present them with a fresh, interesting challenge. This company offers a handful of crowd based festival performance tools such as the flowlight, priced at $20.00, and the levitation wand, priced at $20.00 – $24.00. They also offer several different kits and parts to personalize purchased items. This gift is very affordable and will present your loved one with a new challenge to master.
6. Hi-Chew
Hi-Chew may be the greatest candy to ever hit the face of this earth. My first experience with this mouth-watering sweet was at Electric Zoo a few years ago. You can’t go wrong with purchasing a package of these bad boys for anyone. Though, a raver with EZoo experience will appreciate the thought along with the memories that are laced inside Hi-Chew’s deliciousness.

7. OWSLA or Mad Decent Drip.fm Subscription
Diplo’s Mad Decent and Skrillex’s OWSLA are two boundary slaying record labels, they’ve proven time and time again that they are doing everything they can to push electronic dance music forward. Their artists range in styles and each offer a diverse view on the sounds that our community love. Both Mad Decent and OWSLA have made label subscriptions available and they offer customers exclusive content such as unreleased track streams, videos, remix stems, and much more.
