Music JukeBox - A Great Nostalgia Gift
Saturday, June 7th, 2008 Subscribe To Our Feed
Have you noticed lately that everyone seems to be talking about the “good old days”? Almost every industry is going retro. There’s retro furniture and accessories, music jukeboxes, cars, jewelry, fashion, art. Even the music and food industries are going retro. This trend has been explained as a feeling of nostalgia for a return to the age of innocence, perhaps to escape the stress of a culture seeking to cope with our technology explosion. Everybody seems to have a sentimental yearning or longing for something past.
That’s why Nostalgia gifts are so relevant for the times. Whether it’s the sno cone machine, the juke box, the cotton candy or pop corn machines, they all trigger that special sense of nostalgia that brings back the feelings of the security of our childhood home and the warmth and love of those no longer with us. Remember how you felt when your parents surprised you with your first puppy; the trips to the circus with its cotton candy; your first dance with the juke box playing those romantic songs and you were the “belle of the ball”; your first baseball game ending in your spectacular catch; your first kiss?
It’s amazing how certain colors, smells, a song, a picture of a childhood toy can evoke such intense nostalgia, a feeling of homesickness for what used to be. You experience once again the serenity and tranquility of your uncomplicated life of simpler times, when families had time to enjoy being together, singing, playing that music jukebox, toasting marshmallows, swinging under an old oak tree. You bask in the pleasure and peace of reliving those times if only for a moment.
Most gifts are welcome and exciting to receive. But one that is as unique as a Nostalgia gift, able to evoke such intense emotions each time you see it, touch it or use it, is one that keeps giving throughout a lifetime, because of the memories that linger. It is a gift most appreciated because it is more personalized than even a monogrammed gift; it reaches to the very heart of the recipient.
These special gifts can also be the answer to a very common dilemma, and you probably know what it is before I say it: the gift problem. In everyone’s life there is that person who is the bane of your holidays: the one most difficult to shop for. I had a sister who was very special, but she was also very particular with what she used, wore, ate or anything else that pertains to keeping alive and pretty. What do you do about birthdays and Christmas? To ask her was to get the reply: Just surprise me!
From my personal observation, most fathers are not like most mothers-you ask them what they would like and often they either don’t know what they like, want or need, or they don’t take the time to think about it and simply pass it off or you to decide. They expect you to be a miracle shopper and find what they didn’t know they wanted, in the exact size, shape and color they weren’t able to tell you when you asked!
But now, eureka! I think I’ve found something that even sisters like mine would welcome with open arms and euphoric expressions of “Thank you! I’ll share with you, that I believe it’s these Nostalgia gifts I’ve discovered, and one in particular, will bring back sweet memories that I bet she’s long ago forgotten.
I guarantee he would be pleased really pink with something like a music jukebox, a neon sign, a special electronic gift, or some other unique gift. Because it wasn’t the usual tie or belt, some kind of shirt or shaving lotion, he would feel really special. With the men folk uniqueness seems to be a key element for satisfaction-and that’s what you are looking for in a gift.
