As the holidays are approaching I always look forward to spending more time with family and friends. When people come to visit we always enjoy listening to music ... especially old records. It always seems to be a big part of the weekends. It's nice hearing the crackle and imperfections the old vinyl can bring ... discovering music in a different way and listening to an album as a whole ... something we don't often do in todays music world.

As the years go by and technology advances everything seems to be turning digital .... books, photographs, music. It's nice making it convenient and accessible, but for some reason the classic forms always seems to be a bit more satisfying. We've started trying to be a little more traditional ... collecting vintage books, printing photographs, and playing more and more records, things that guests seem to enjoy.

For this post we've teamed up with Urban Outfitters and RewardsStyle to give some Holiday gift ideas. We've picked out a few items centered around music that we've enjoyed to have around the house. We often look for gifts and Urban Outfitters has always offered an array of great products fitting a variety of budgets. Ranging from classic vintage to modern ... you'll surely be able to find something that makes the perfect gift.
