Music JukeBox-A Great Nostalgia Gift

"How I long for that old Kentucky home" were the words to a very popular song years ago. Why was it so popular? I don't know, except it touched a cord of nostalgia in the hearts of many listeners. Hearing a song, whether it's the words or the music even coming from that old music jukebox; smelling the familiar fragrance of Grandma's lavender as you walk past a stranger or seeing a rustic, provincial homestead can stir up visions from the past. I've never been to Kentucky, but my heart still yearns for my long-gone, happy childhood every time I hear that song or even its title.
Nostalgia gifts are very special gifts because they appeal to fond memories of the past, certain periods of time that form our life experiences and bring overwhelming feelings of acceptance and security among other things. How about that little league game, that cheer leading season, that first car you can remember and the long trips to Florida in the simmer. So many things can kick off that nostalgia mood because it is a walk down memory lane.
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!
I would like you to think about something. When you were growing up and even now as you are possibly grown, who was the hardest person to buy for around the holidays? If you are like my household, it was always your father and now that your are grown and married, I'll bet you it is the men folk in your family. How many times was a gift given to your father or your husband and you discerned it really didn't capture his fancy-unless of course he had already informed you of what really wanted or needed, and then it was no longer a surprise.
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.
Well, let me tell you something that most all dads and husbands would be very happy to receive for any holiday, whether it be Christmas, birthday or Father's Day, and that is a Nostalgia gift; a gift that would escort his thoughts back down memory lane taking him back to this childhood or teen years or even early marriage life.
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.
