Music Jukebox-The Ultimate Nostalgia Gift

By: Robert Allen Byrnes

I don't know about you but many times with me I get those overwhelming feelings of nostalgia just looking at something from tester year like a bubble gum machine or a music jukebox. I remember as a little tyke walking down to the corner drugstore, which at that time seemed like a three mile walk, to get my hands on a candy bar or to pt pennies in the various gum ball machines. Ah, those were the days.

Nostalgia gifts are very special gifts because they appeal to fond memories of the past, certain periods of time that form our life experiences and bring overwhelming feelings of acceptance and security among other things. How about that little league game, that cheer leading season, that first car you can remember and the long trips to Florida in the simmer. So many things can kick off that nostalgia mood because it is a walk down memory lane.

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.

I really think nostalgia gifts are wonderful gifts and much more fulfilling because they evoke so many enjoyable memories. So it is more than an instant gratification or just buying a gift because you think you need to. It is a gift that will take you back to different historical times in your life and allow you to relive them over and over each and every time yo glance at that music jukebox or hold it in your hands. Hey, every time I see a gum ball machine,it takes me back.

Do you remember how often birthdays were so troublesome for you because you never knew what this particular person wanted or liked? Remember how difficult it was to get the gift that would be sure to please? And I suspect that person would be a male member of the family, a husband or father. I was always so disappointed when my father's face would reflect disappointment with his gift. I think women are much easier to buy for, don't you?

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.

These are gifts of various purpose and design, but I believe most any family member would be delighted with the vintage music jukebox, electronic machines, the juke box and the neon sign or any others. A gift of any nature is special; but one that brings back happy memories is the most special of all.
