Piano players are a dedicated bunch. From learning music to sight-reading, then graduating to sight playing, and finer positions, it is no child’s play. And they do not get to practice as much or as often as they want.
After all, a piano is not something that can be popped in a bag and lugged around the way a guitarist can carry his guitar around. So, it is a good idea to encourage a pianist anyhow you can. How better to acknowledge their efforts and all the time they spend practicing producing good music than to gift them with thoughtful items, and that share a theme with their pianos?
While you may not be able to able to gift them with a big grand piano - those things are expensive! - you may be able to buy something thoughtful, something they will appreciate, and something that will resonate with them.
