Have you noticed lately that everyone seems to be talking about the "good old days"? Almost every industry is going retro. There's retro furniture and accessories, music jukeboxes, cars, jewelry, fashion, art. Even the music and food industries are going retro. This trend has been explained as a feeling of nostalgia for a return to the age of innocence, perhaps to escape the stress of a culture seeking to cope with our technology explosion. Everybody seems to have a sentimental yearning or longing for something past.

Nostalgia gifts are very special gifts because they appeal to fond memories of the past, certain periods of time that form our life experiences and bring overwhelming feelings of acceptance and security among other things. How about that little league game, that cheer leading season, that first car you can remember and the long trips to Florida in the simmer. So many things can kick off that nostalgia mood because it is a walk down memory lane.

Think about it. You take a little whopping spree into your local mall and you stumble upon a vintage toy that takes you back to when you were just five years old and you find yourself reminiscing over those wonderful years when things were much simpler. Just those few moments of nostalgia can help relieve the strain of coping with the day's trials and responsibilities and give a lift to your spirits.

I really think nostalgia gifts are wonderful gifts and much more fulfilling because they evoke so many enjoyable memories. So it is more than an instant gratification or just buying a gift because you think you need to. It is a gift that will take you back to different historical times in your life and allow you to relive them over and over each and every time yo glance at that music jukebox or hold it in your hands. Hey, every time I see a gum ball machine,it takes me back.

These special gifts can also be the answer to a very common dilemma, and you probably know what it is before I say it: the gift problem. In everyone's life there is that person who is the bane of your holidays: the one most difficult to shop for. I had a sister who was very special, but she was also very particular with what she used, wore, ate or anything else that pertains to keeping alive and pretty. What do you do about birthdays and Christmas? To ask her was to get the reply: Just surprise me!

Yes, I do believe that women, especially mothers, are more prone to explain just what they want, even where to get it. In the case with my father, it was hard because he wanted to be sure to get exactly what he wanted, no substitutes accepted. I suspect he needed to feel it, hold it and carefully inspect every inch of it because it was usually a tool of some kind that he wanted and it had to be just right. I just remember something besides a tool he would have loved-a music jukebox.

Well, let me tell you something that most all dads and husbands would be very happy to receive for any holiday, whether it be Christmas, birthday or Father's Day, and that is a Nostalgia gift; a gift that would escort his thoughts back down memory lane taking him back to this childhood or teen years or even early marriage life.

I guarantee he would be pleased really pink with something like a music jukebox, a neon sign, a special electronic gift, or some other unique gift. Because it wasn't the usual tie or belt, some kind of shirt or shaving lotion, he would feel really special. With the men folk uniqueness seems to be a key element for satisfaction-and that's what you are looking for in a gift.
