Gifts Ideas for a Vinyl Record Lover

Retro girls and guys LOVE vinyl records.  It's in our blood.  It brings back awesome and powerful memories of a youth that was wasted on the young... lounging in bed... listening to the crackling sound of a well worn album... quietly waiting for the next 45 to drop... watching the label spin round and round creating a relaxing kaleidoscopic mix of color and words. 

Don't even get me started on the album cover artwork and excitedly opening that record for the first time.  Back in the day, the smell of the fresh vinyl and discovering that all the lyrics had been included on the record sleeve was pure heaven. 

If you're looking for a gift idea that can stir all of those emotions, browse through our retro gift guide filled with the best gift ideas for vinyl record lovers.

Of course, the number one vinyl record gift for a vinyl record lover would be a record player or another vinyl record.  And they are still very much available.  You can even find the latest sounds being presented on vinyl records but for the purpose of this gift guide... and guessing that you don't know which albums the gift receiver already has... our gift guide will present you with ideas that are inspired by vinyl records without actually being vinyl records.  But just in case you're wondering... the two records shown above are GREAT choices to give to someone who loves vinyl and you can learn more about each of them at Amazon simply by clicking on their images.  Same is true for the super cool retro-look record player in the middle above.
