Adele’s 30 Vinyl ($35.54)
In 2021, vinyl outsold CDs for the first time since the 1980s, and we think we know who helped boost those sales. British songstress, Adele, released her comeback/divorce album late last year, and we haven’t been the same since. Gift the 30 Exclusive White Vinyl to the ballad enthusiast in your life, and this record will be on repeat until the next Adele album drops.
Upcycled Record Coasters ($18.00)
While you’re listening to a new record with your loved ones, or just kicking back after work, set your drink on these unique, upcycled record coasters. Each coaster is cut from the center of vinyl records and sealed to protect your furniture from a chilled drink. These colorful accent pieces are perfect for anyone who appreciates the beauty in detail.
