DanS Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hi guys, Sorry if this is the wrong place for posting this but it seemed like the most general sub-forum. So my Dad is turning 55 in a coupe of weeks and I have no idea what to get him, except I don't want to get the stereotypical bottle of wine/whisky which my mother suggested! He is a former musician and is in love with his sound system and records. I was hoping I could get something relating to this for him. He has previously mentioned that the record cleaner (sounded boring at the time) was the best gift he ever received, which I bought him for Xmas). I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for other stuff that people into this kind of stuff might like/need? He already has a fully kitted out system (i.e amp, record player and speakers) but is there any other accessory that would improve his experience? My budget would be roughly £100-150 (~$200) Thanks and please forgive my ignorance/laziness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74R Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Not sure if this is possible for you but I got my dad a copy of a 45 he played on back in the 60s. He thought that was pretty cool gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowty Dollaz Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'd go to a record shop near your dad. Buy a giftcard. Give it to him in a card that says "When you're ready to spend this on vinyl/ accessories/ whatever, give me a ring and I'll come with you. Maybe I'll see just how much fun records can be." Or something like that. I promise your dad wants your time more than your gifts, but why not both? koljou, David The Gnome, Dominic_ and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniegwilliams Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 It's a bit outside of your budget, but the Springsteen box set would be a killer gift idea. Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
