12 Days of Thrifty Christmas: Music Lover

Posted by natfee on December 16, 2012 · 1 Comment 

For the friend who is attached at the hip to their iPod:  a musically-themed thrifty gift is sure to delight.

Gift

Thrift an original vinyl – if they don’t own a record player, they can use the LP for wall art.  For a challenge, try thrifting the entire progression of the band’s career.  Three or four duplicates of the same album would look visually striking on a wall as well.  Thrift a rock tee that would be great for wearing or repurposing.  For example, a tee shirt makes a great pillow sham.

I thrifted this Muse tee shirt at a church bag sale – it was less than $2.

Pick up a cheap iPod accessory, iTunes gift card, or set of spare earbuds to round out the gift.

Wrapping

Thrift some old sheet music and collage it together for a fun (and on theme!) DIY wrapping paper – bonus points if you can find all Christmas carols or holiday classics.
