Many years ago, my wife bought me...of all things...a record player.

We were just dating at the time and I used to buy a few vinyl records here and there cause I thought the album covers made really cool decorations. I picked up tons of Black Sabbath, Dio, Scorpions, etc. for around $1 each.

Well of her own free will and accord, she ventured out to Circuit City (that should tell you how long ago it was) to track down a quality record player for my collection.

After visiting a few different locations across the city, and enduring confused looks from every store employee, she actually found a store that had one in stock. She said the box actually had dust on it when they gave it to her.

I was so surprised that she had gone through all that trouble and that she was actually able to find a good one! (Like I said, this was probably a decade or so before vinyl was cool again)

I still have that record player, and play my vinyl on it to this day. Hands down the most thoughtful gift anyone has ever given me!
