It's true. This will be a holiday season like no other for all of us. And as Loudwire points out, "gifts may be the last thing on your mind."

That may be the case for some, but as Loudwire continues, "if you're still planning on splurging a bit for your friends and family, then we've got you covered."

We know that things aren't the same this time around, but as for the rock and metalheads in your life, their love of music likely hasn't changed.

"There were a ton of special releases this year, and they're guaranteed to bring more than just holiday cheer to die-hard rockers."

And so begins the list of gift ideas that Loudwire's music-making audience would likely love to receive, with three spots reserved for IK Multimedia in the category of gear. So here they are in order of appearance:

• AmpliTube 5 The flagship guitar and bass tone studio, currently with special introductory pricing
• iRig Stream The first audio interface designed for sharing
• Axe I/O Solo The compact audio interface with advanced guitar tone shaping, and one of IK's Holideal bundles

We're not surprised by the selection. These are great gifts for rockers and streamers. Thanks, Loudwire for the recommendation!
