Gifts for Vinyl Lovers by Budget
Quick picks for every kind of record lover.
Looking for an under £20 / €20 gift for a record collector? Try a Vinyl Ghost: a small, handmade clay ghost that sits on the turntable spindle and spins with the record. Each one comes in a collectible metal tin and is made by hand in the Netherlands, so no two are exactly alike.
New: The Latest Series 002 Drop
No blind box this time: you pick the exact ghost. Series 002 drops a new hand-splattered colourway every fortnight, each one a numbered edition in a small run. Once a drop is gone, it's gone. Start with Drop 01, the Galaxy Blue Ghost, or grab the Vinyl Pumpkin, our Halloween special, while it lasts.
Under £20 / €20: Vinyl Ghost Blind Box
A Series 001 spindle topper in a collectible tin. They won't know which colour they've got until they open it, and there's a 1-in-20 chance of the rare silver ghost. A great stocking filler or Secret Santa gift for any vinyl lover.
Under £20 / €20: Pick Their Colour
Know their favourite colour? Choose a guaranteed Series 001 blue, red, yellow or green Vinyl Ghost. Match it to their record player, their favourite coloured vinyl or their listening room.
The Big Gift: Collector's Set
All five Series 001 Vinyl Ghosts, including the guaranteed rare silver ghost. Only 20 sets made. The one to get for the record collector who has everything.
Series 001 or Series 002?
- Series 001: the surprise. A blind box with five colours to collect and a rare silver ghost hiding in 1 in 20 tins. Perfect if they love the thrill of the unknown.
- Series 002: the sure thing. No blind box, so you choose exactly which ghost they get. A new numbered colourway every fortnight, gone for good once the drop closes. Perfect for collectors who like to catch every release.
Can't decide? Both sit on the spindle and spin with the record. Browse every one in all turntable toppers.
How to Choose a Gift for a Vinyl Lover
Buying records for a collector is a gamble: they may already own it, or it may not be their taste. Gifts that celebrate the hobby itself are a safer bet. Check your gift against these five points:
- They don't already own it. A unique collectible won't duplicate anything on their shelves.
- They'll use it or display it. The best gifts become part of their turntable setup or record shelf.
- It works with any music taste. Jazz, indie, rock, hip-hop or techno: a gift about vinyl itself suits everyone.
- It feels personal. Handmade gifts feel more thoughtful than mass-produced ones.
- It's a little bit special. A blind box adds the thrill of crate digging. A limited drop adds the joy of owning something few people have.
Gift Ideas for Every Type of Vinyl Lover
- The serious record collector: something rare and limited, like the Collector's Set or a numbered Series 002 drop, rather than another album.
- The new vinyl fan: useful record player accessories plus a fun spindle topper to make their first setup feel special.
- The audiophile: vinyl record accessories that improve the listening experience.
- The music lover with a cosy listening corner: turntable decor and collectibles to display next to the record player.
Gift Ideas for Vinyl Lovers: FAQ
What's a good gift for a record collector under £20 / €20?
A Vinyl Ghost. It's a handmade turntable topper in a collectible tin, it suits any music taste, and they almost certainly don't own one yet. Choose the blind box for a surprise, or the latest Series 002 drop to pick the exact ghost.
What do you get someone who loves vinyl but has everything?
Something they won't find in a record shop. Handmade collectibles, like a turntable figurine that spins with the record, are unlikely to be in their collection already.
What's the difference between Series 001 and Series 002?
Series 001 is a blind box: the colour is a surprise until the tin is open. Series 002 isn't: you choose the exact ghost, and a new numbered colourway drops every two weeks.
Do Vinyl Ghosts fit every record player?
Vinyl Ghosts are designed to sit on your record player spindle and spin gently with the record. See our FAQ for more details.
When should I order for Christmas?
Order early. Every Vinyl Ghost is made by hand in small batches, only 20 Collector's Sets were made, and each Series 002 drop is gone for good once it closes.
