Panic stations! Yes, it's the Friday before Christmas (or "Mad Friday", as it's lovingly referred to in the industry). If you haven't started your Christmas shopping yet, then we really admire your laidback approach. Refreshing as that may be, now is the time to pull your finger out.
If you're struggling to know where to start, let us be your guide.
No matter if you've got it all to do or are just looking for some last minute stocking fillers, these gift ideas from Ibiza could well help you out.
Club tickets
Seeing as most people are swept up in the festive melee, we wouldn't blame you if you had missed it, but did you see that Ibiza 2026 officially launched this week?
Global House music authority Defected shocked us all by announcing its third off-season move in as many years, revealing Thursday nights at Chinois Ibiza to be its new home next summer.
Not only are tickets already online, but a special introductory price is available until 6 January only.
€30 Holiday Special tickets are an absolute bargain. Nice little stocking filler that.
Head to our party calendar to buy now and stay tuned for more revelations coming very, very soon...
IMS delegate's badge
Sure to be discussing Defected's latest move, as well as all the other inter-club transfers and the general state of play, International Music Summit (IMS) returns in the spring.
Once again taking place at Mondrian & Hyde complex, the three-day business expo is locked-in for 22, 23 and 24 April. As usual, it culminates atop the Old Town of Dalt Vila, with our annual alfresco season curtain-raiser IMS Grand Finale.
The conference is the ideal place to network and meeting somebody you've spent hours conversing with over email in the flesh. For the ambitious, here's your proverbial shop window to put you alongside potential employers and collaborators.
A delegate's badge really places you front and centre amongst the industry's biggest decision makers. It's a portal to progressing to the next stage of your career and, better than that, it's simply a whole lot of fun. Head to the IMS website to get yours or treat a loved one.
Pacha's SD Ibiza football shirt
With the World Cup looming, 2026 is shaping up to be a huge year of football. Clearly, Pacha Group got the memo and has struck to get the football fever started early.
Continuing its mission to support local culture and community, Pacha Ibiza has entered its latest partnership with Sociedad Deportiva Ibiza (AKA SD Ibiza) - one of island's most established sports teams.
As the team’s official sponsor for the 2025/26 season, the iconic Pacha logo will be emblazoned on the club's shirt.
Show your support and buy a replica top from The Pacha Collection's shop in Marina Botafoc or via the online store.
Hierbas - a bottle of Ibiza's finest export
Eggheads amongst you may already know that Ibiza's biggest export is salt. You didn't think the salt flats at Las Salinas were just for show, did you? That said, we're inclined to think that the native tipple, Hierbas Ibicencas, is probably the finest gift Ibiza has bestowed the world.
This golden elixir of up to thirty locally-foraged herbs is sweet to taste, despite its anise-flavouring. If you've dined out at an Ibizan restaurant, you may well have already encountered it as a complimentary freebie.
Who's game for some Christmas Day chupitos, Ibiza style? Since Hierbas is a digestif, what more excuse do you need as a bit of post-roast dinner indulgence? That will help the sprouts go down.
While we're hesitant to add to Mr. Bezos' wealth, brands such as the popular Mari Mayans are available to order from that very well-known online retailer named after a river. That Prime membership really pays for itself during December, eh?
