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.
Maybe you haven't been turned on to Nostalgia gifts yet, but supposing you opened a birthday or Christmas present and there was something you never expected to see again - a vintage music jukebox, straight out of yesterday! That's when you experience nostalgia to the max -and each time you walk past it, it's nostalgia all over again!
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!
Well, a miracle shopper I'm not, neither am I a psychic! Now I know not all sisters are like this and certainly my mother and father were not. Their suggestions were often helpful but many times we missed it, and she let us know, not by words, but by her facial expressions. Somehow we always knew which gifts would be returned. And she's never improved with age.
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.
