Finding the right gift can be tricky, especially if you're looking for someone who already has a lot or has distinctive taste, like a vinyl collector or a true music lover. Luckily, there are plenty of original and fun gifts that will truly make someone happy.
We at Sticky Vinyl are happy to help you get started. In this blog post, we've compiled ten fantastic gift ideas perfect for a birthday, holiday, or just because. And yes, we've included a few of our own products. Not to sell you anything, but because we genuinely believe they're fun to give and receive.
1. Buy an LP at a local record store
Giving an LP as a gift remains a classic. Whether you find a rare release or a record that reminds you of someone, it's a personal gift that always makes an impression. Visit your local record store, browse the bins, and choose something that suits the recipient's taste. You'll often find secondhand gems in top condition, too.

6. An LP cleaning kit
If you play a lot, you need to take good care of your records. An LP cleaning kit is therefore an essential item for any vinyl enthusiast. Such a kit usually includes an antistatic brush, cleaning fluid, a cloth, and sometimes a stylus cleaner. This keeps your records dust-free, extends their lifespan, and improves sound quality. A useful and appreciated gift.
Price: €30-40

7. A record player
Want to give something bigger together with others? Then a record player is a wonderful surprise. You can often find excellent models at a reasonable price on platforms like Marktplaats. For example, choose a vintage model with character or a modern record player with Bluetooth and built-in speakers. Note: it's helpful to check first whether the recipient already has a record player, or perhaps is looking for an upgrade.
Price: €100-250

8. Vinyl pizza cutter
A gift doesn't always have to be serious. This pizza cutter shaped like a mini record player is simply hilarious. Perfect as a small gift, or as a little joke alongside something else. Especially fun for someone who loves to combine their two greatest loves—pizza and vinyl. It's a lighthearted addition to this list, but we're sure it'll bring a smile.

9. Concert ticket from an artist
While this blog is all about vinyl, live music is, of course, the best. Give a concert ticket as a gift, and you're guaranteed a great evening. We live in Groningen and love attending concerts at SPOT, which regularly hosts great performances. Giving a ticket is not only an original idea but also a memory you can create together.
Price: €20-60

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