Music Gifts

Didn’t every young girl in the twentieth century wish for a music box with a twirling musical ballerina on top? It seemed like that particular design had a monopoly on music boxes but, even then, other types of music boxes were available to the serious collector who was willing to spend time on the search.

Today, the range of musical gifts has expanded so much that if you want a good challenge, you’ll need to go in search something antique or a limited edition piece by a well known artist. Collectibles have blossomed, both in gift shops and on the internet. Themes in music gifts have blossomed as well: music boxes, musical figurines and water globes, painting, carving, and ceramic productions with a musical theme.

The twirling ballerina is still with us, appearing in beautiful new settings, but joined as well by singing birds, carousels, revolving angels, and even endangered animal figurines—music gifts to appeal to every taste. Many delightful scenes and figurines have been placed inside beautiful water globes, combining two endlessly popular decorative designs from the past.

Christmas stockings that once contained delightful little water worlds that snowed inside when you shook them now contain beautiful water globes that play your favorite tune—and many of these musical gifts snow too!

Of course, not everyone wants a music box, and there are many collectible lines that feature music gifts that simply have a musical theme. You might be tempted by a painting or sculpture with a musical theme, note pads, key rings, fashion accessories, or even tiny miniature instruments. Retailers of musical gifts often carry many of these other things as well, or you can visit theme websites to see if music has been combined with the theme you collect—Betty Boop sitting on a piano? You’ll find her. Singing frog sculptures? You’ll find those too.

Some internet sites devote themselves entirely to music gifts. For the shopper in a hurry, these sites are a great convenience and, because they are focused on the music theme, these retailers frequently offer variety that others can’t. Not only can you shop for the musical gifts that perfectly suit your style and taste, you can often pick the tune to go with the musical boxes you collect.

The Internet has made shopping for collectibles so easy that even the beginner collector of musical gifts can put together a unique collection tailored to individual tastes and budget. Products sold by internet retailers vary from the small and cute for just a few dollars to the elaborate, finely crafted and often automated, pieces for hundreds of dollars. Even if you can’t splurge on a music gift in the higher price range, you can enjoy window shopping for them on the internet.

When you find something you really like in your price range, owning it is as simple as making a quick internet purchase and then waiting for the letter carrier to bring it to your door—you can just relax and hum your favorite music box tune while you wait.
