KillingYourCareer Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I have, three times! In middle school there was this girl in my class whose family was struggling economically, she kept talking about how much she loved Lady Gaga, so I gifted my copy of The Fame to her and bought a new one for myself (it was 2009). That was my Margherita Zamboni moment! At the time, I also gifted my best friend Vanessa Hudgens' Identified as she was a big fan, and more recently I got Lover for my boyfriend, who's a huge Taylor fan. How about you?

Insanity Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Yes, as Xmas presents for my friend I normally buy her a CD as she barely buys any and listens to the same ones over and over lol Link to post Share on other sites
Anthem Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 If it counts, I use to buy vinyls for my ex. Even got him a blink-182 one that got signed by everyone including Tom. But other than that, I don’t think so. CDs were already dipping by the time I was in elementary school, and completely obsolete by high school. Link to post Share on other sites

What's the point of gifting a cd to a fan? They have probably already bought it. Link to post Share on other sites

Both Sides Now Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I used to do this for small birthday gifts a few years ago when music stores were still on high streets. You could get a classic album for €5 and I’d buy that instead of the card (you could write on the back with marker or something). I’ve gifted albums like blue, the immaculate collection, arrival, parallel lines for people depending what I thought their taste would be. It always went down better than a card would and it was a similar price. My mind Link to post Share on other sites
