1. Buy an LP at a local record store
There is little more fun than being surprised with a record. Whether you score a classic or take home a new release, it remains a personal and thoughtful gift. Visit a local record store, browse through the bins and choose something that suits the musical taste of the recipient. Often there are also second-hand gems to be found in good condition. Giving an LP as a gift is not only original, but also shows that you have really made an effort.

A useful and appreciated gift.

Do you want to give something bigger together with others? Then a record player is a great surprise. You can often find great models for a reasonable price on platforms such as Marktplaats.

Please note: it is useful to first check whether the recipient already has a record player, or is perhaps looking for an upgrade.

9. Concert ticket of an artist
Although this blog is about vinyl, live music is of course the most fun. Give a ticket for a concert as a gift and you are guaranteed a successful evening in prospect. We live in Groningen ourselves and like to visit the concerts in SPOT, where great performances are regularly given. Giving a ticket is not only an original idea, but also a memory that you can create together.

10. Vinyl record distributors
For the serious collector, it is important to keep an overview. Vinyl record dividers are handy partitions that allow you to organize your collection by genre, artist or alphabet. They provide order in the closet and make searching much easier. Most dividers are made of wood or acrylic and fit into any standard storage system. A subtle but very useful gift that any enthusiast will appreciate.
