Well, the hubby's and my anniversary is Thursday and I was out yesterday and today frantically trying to "spot" something he might like for a gift. I wasn't able to find anything and I'm at a total lost. I've got one last chance so I'm going out and try again tomorrow -- I hope I don't have to pick up something just for the sake of getting something.
Anyway, I did make him a complementary gift to go along with whatever it is I can find for him. This little gift came to mind when I went down into his "man cave" and he was going through an old collection of 45's, 33's and LP's, and playing them on his record player:
It's a record player box and the inside holds a 45 record adapter keychain. My hubby loves old songs and I think he'll love this. I got the images for the record and the adapter off the internet and sized, printed, and cut them out. I added yellow stickles to both sides of the adapter and covered it with resin; added a hole and then pu on the keychain.
To get the 3-D raised effect on the adapter on the record on the record player, I added white puffy paint to it. Here's a close-up (sorry it came out a a bit blurry):
My hubby loves music -- all kinds of music -- and has quite an extensive collection of "oldies". Since the day were were married I don't think he has ever let a day go by without playing music, so for all the years I'm calling this little gift "let the music play on and on".
Isn't this project cute?!!!
Well, wish me luck tomorrow; I've got to find something and it's got to be special!
Hugs everyone, and...
I'll be seeing you!

Hubby'll love that! Such a creative box! Good luck finding a gift. I know for me, it gets more and more difficult to find just the right present each passing year! Happy Anniversary!

My honey is a music lover also- Today is his birthday and I didn't get him a thing- I couldn't find anything.
I told him I owe him.
Sometimes it is hard to find the right gift

I love it when a person puts so much thought into a gift. Your husband is sure to love this project! Good luck with the rest of the gift and Happy Anniversary. Shari (cricutrookie)
This is awesome Audrey! I'm sure he'll just love it. While you're gift shopping does he need something for the new car? I was going to suggest a new key ring but I guess you've got that covered ( sometimes I just crack myself up, lol) Anyways I hope you have a wonderful anniversary and I know you'll find the right gift for him. Hugs, Mary

I really like the record player. I have my father's old 45 and I also have his record adapter as well. TFS
Oh you are running out of time.. i pray that you find just the right present tomorrow.. but he is going to love this, as always you are so darn creative. Where you get your amazing ideas is beyond me. Well my friend, i am fixing to go take my shower.. just got home from Bible study.. still not feeling very perky.. but I did get both the bathrooms cleaned today. Have some pants that Alex needs fixing, hoping I can finally get those done and work a little on his birthday banner... haven't been crafting at all.. just so tired. Can't wait to see what dh gets you for your anniversary tomorrow and where he takes you... hugs
Good luck finding a special gift for your special guy! This is such a cool project!
Happy Anniversary tomorrow!!!
OMG... 45's.. Loved them!! I remember saving allowance just to go down and get the newest HIT! These are great!!
OMG!! Girlfriend, you are so dang talented! I love your take on the music theme for hubby. I can remember those days too, I also have some of those 45's, 78's, and 33's, and love the disk you created, Yes, my friend I remember those days too. I am sure Hubby is going to love this, even if it is the only thing he receives. This is so original and very creative. Have a wonderful anniversary if I don't catch you on your special day.
Hugz, xx

That is a cute idea..i sure hope he doesnt read your blog, LOL.
Absolutely adorable! I just love it as will he! Happy Anniversary. I find the longer I am married the hardier it is to get the "right" anniversary gift. Do you have an old record store in your neighborhood? Maybe you can get him a gift card (I know not personal, but) then he can do down there at his leisure and enjoy himself looking through old records!!
Good luck with your shopping!!

Oh, how cute is that! What a novel idea, I'm sure he will love it! TFS
Audrey, Hi! This is just amazing to me. I thought the box was a real record player. I know your hubby is going to flip over it. For those of us who grew up with this way of listening to music, it is hard to give it up. I still have all of my 45s and 33s and a record player. There is nothing like listening to vinyl.
I still cannot believe how real this looks. I know that keychain is going to be very special to him.
Hugs to Buster from Jack and Magnolia.

This is so cute - and so perfect for your husband! Best of luck finding just the right gift and above all, happy anniversary to the two of you!!
Every time I come to visit, I end up shaking my head in amazement of your limitless creativity. I am just floored by this record player. Awesome! I'm sorry you didn't find anything for him. I think he is happy enough to have a wonderful woman like you. It's the gift that keeps giving every day of the year! Best, Curt
