Music gifts just got more personal | Music Gifts from GettingPersonal.co.uk

19 October 2009

Music gifts come in a variety of guises and are perfectly suited to people of all ages. Although many such music gifts are generic or impersonal in nature, it is those that are able to communicate with the recipient in a more intimate way that usually provide the most enjoyment. In this respect, personal music gifts make for excellent presents at Christmas or for celebrating somebody's birthday. If that somebody happens to be a music lover, then the personalised music present is guaranteed to hit all the right notes.

Personalised music gifts can also vary considerably in terms of price, size and quality. Ultimately, the cheaper range of gifts available on the market is better suited to occasions that are not quite as special as a birthday. Indeed, personalised music gifts can be as small and inexpensive as a musical greetings card or print. Personalised musical mugs, not all of which make musical sounds, are also relatively cheap and do not usually cost much more than normal mugs. In general, any item that is related to music or has been decorated as such and includes the name of the recipient and a unique message for them will constitute a personalised music gift.

Nevertheless, quite possibly the best ever personalised music gift is not one that can be purchased from a shopping store. Indeed, the music mix tape – 'mix CD' for the modern generation or 'mix USB flash device containing a bucket load of mp3 tracks' for those who are too young to be considered as belonging to any properly established generation – is arguably the greatest of all personalised music gifts. Moreover, the mix tape is a hallmark of young and foolish love that always manages to fall flat on its face somehow. Notwithstanding this, the mix tape has been employed as an ultimate declaration of intent for decades now and, although the modern era of high speed internet access, illegal music downloads and mobile USB music devices have totally stomped all over it, the mix tape remains a completely cringe worthy medium through which a love interest can be declared. Furthermore, the highly personalised nature of mix tapes means that they are perfect for enabling an individual to reveal their musical preferences to another – regardless of how rubbish the chosen songs happen to be.

In fact, music products as music gifts are very popular among consumers – in particular, there are a range of thank you CD's which are tailored towards special events and occasions such as Mother's Day, thanking a school teacher for their extra efforts and so on. Young lovers can also avail of CD's that comprise only love tracks that are perfect for setting the right mood. Indeed, when entertaining a lover it can be difficult to choose the appropriate music, so rather than heading down the unforgiving path of Black Sabbath and company, it is often more sensible to buy a ready-made compilation CD.

Personalised music gifts can also feature entirely useful items, such as CD dividers and racks that include an engraved message. Likewise, personalised music calendars often comprise popular rock stars and bands in addition to being entirely useful for marking special events, keeping track of the date, crossing off days of the week and, well, all the other things that calendars can do! However, personalised music gifts are more than just practical items. Indeed, the whole point of buying a gift that is personalised is to send a thoughtful message to another individual. Thus, in the context of music gifts, there is perhaps no better way to do this than by providing them with a high quality, stylish and lasting reminder of what makes them so special.

The personalised vinyl plaque, therefore, is perfect for special birthdays and is an entirely tasteful and thoughtful gift. The plaque is encased in a stylish frame and will typically display the name and birth date of the recipient, in addition to a short note on what the number one selling song was in the UK on this day. The range of dates available will usually stretch as far back as 1952 and a special 7 inch vinyl record of this best-selling single will be contained inside the case just above the plaque. This is a truly exceptional gift that is something the recipient will want to cherish for many years – knowing which track was the best-selling on their birthday and actually owning a vinyl copy of the song is a very touching present that also looks great on the wall. One possible shortcoming is that, in order to play the record, the recipient will need a record-playing device, which is now probably old enough to be considered antiques!
