Vinyl Collectors Holiday Gift Guide

Great gift ideas for the vinyl collector

There's a lot to love about vinyl collectors, but this holiday season, we want to give them something special. We here at Innersleeve have put together a list of our favorite gifts for the discerning music fan.

Record Dividers

Vinyl collectors often have a lot of records. Some are from their favorite bands, others are rare finds and some just sound great when you're hanging out with friends. But organizing those records can be a real problem if you don't have the right tools for the job! Vinyl dividers can help make sure that your collection stays organized and looking good for years to come.

Record dividers allow for easy album organization, which is helpful if you have a large collection or if there are times when it's hard to remember where every album is located in your stacks. They also make it easier to see all the albums at once, rather than having them buried under other items on the shelf or under piles of CDs and records on tables and floors.

Dividers come in many different colors and sizes so you can find exactly what works for your needs! If you're worried about them being too big or small, fear not, there are dividers that will fit most records perfectly.

Slipmats

Slipmats are a pretty important accessory for any turntable owner. They're often made of fabric and come in all different shapes and sizes, but one thing they all have in common is that they protect your record from being scratched by the underside of the tonearm (the part that holds the needle and moves from side to side).

If you don't already have any slipmats on hand, consider picking up a few when you buy your new record player! While there are plenty of options out there for slipmats—including ones with built-in DJ effects like echo or looping—you can also find plain old fabric ones if you'd rather not spend extra money on specialized models.

Cartridge Stylus Cleaner

While most people are familiar with the concept of cleaning a record before playing it, they may not know that it's equally important to keep your stylus clean. The needle that reads the grooves in your vinyl is called a stylus or cartridge, and it should be cleaned after each use.

There are a lot of reasons why you should get your stylus cleaned. For one, it can help keep your turntable sounding its best. If you don't clean the stylus regularly—or at all—there will be dust and grime that accumulates on it, and that can cause some damage to both your records and the needle on your turntable. In addition to being able to clean off any dirt or debris from your record player's needle, this cartridge cleaner also helps make sure there's no buildup of gunk around the edges of the needle itself which can damage vinyl records over time as well.

Record Cleaning Kit

Keeping your records clean is an essential part of any collector's job.

A record cleaning kit is a must for any vinyl collector. Sets usually include everything you need to keep your records clean, such as a record brush and microfiber cleaning cloths.

Record Frame

You know the feeling, right? You’re in a record shop looking for something new to play when you see it. That pristine copy of The Smiths’ “Hatful of Hollow” on vinyl. It glows with that unmistakable warmth that only vinyl can provide. You have to have it!

But where will you put it? Sure, there are plenty of options for storing your collection at home—you could go with a classic wood bookcase or build an entire wall out of shelves—but what if we told you there was another way to show off your records? Record frames are a great way to display and organize your prized possessions in style (and they come with or without glass). They come in all shapes and sizes so there's one perfect for every room in your house—or office!

Now Playing Sign

Now Playing signs are a fun gift for any vinyl collector. The sign can be used in a variety of ways, including as an accent piece on a wall or as part of your decor. You can even use it to make your own customized greeting card! A simple message like “Enjoying great music” or “I love the sound of vinyl” is sure to brighten anyone's day.
