A home for her growing record collection
From a few favourites beside the turntable to a collection that keeps growing, give her records a place of their own.
Read the guideA few ideas to begin with.
for a living room or lounge display
Brown Record Holder with V Groove Sections
Someone drawn to mid-century interiors who wants record storage that functions as a display piece as much as a practical organiser.
A V groove layout separates the records into upright sections. The seller describes the brown holder as requiring no assembly, which could suit a listening corner ready for a simple finishing touch.
Confirm the exact materials, dimensions and capacity before choosing; the supplied details are limited on those points.

for a bedside or desktop listening corner
New Bee Aluminium and TPU Headphone Stand
Someone who keeps their headphones on a desk or bedside table and wants a compact, freestanding place to rest them.
The aluminium-and-TPU stand is listed as 8.85 inches tall with a 3.7 × 3.7-inch footprint. Its freestanding shape gives headphones a defined place on a desk or bedside table.
The listing notes the desk surface must be flat and dust-free for stable placement, so check your mum's desk conditions first.

for listening with large rotary controls
Retekess TR604 Plug-In AM/FM Portable Radio
Someone who wants a straightforward radio with large, easy-to-grip controls and the option to run it from the mains or batteries.
A large rotary knob and analogue readout sit alongside a 2W speaker and rotatable antenna. The listing offers D-size battery operation as well as a 110V mains supply.
The listed 110V mains supply is incompatible with direct connection to UK 230V sockets. A plug adaptor alone does not convert voltage.

for packing an instrument for a trip
Enya NOVA U Carbon Fiber Concert Ukulele 23 Inch Blue
Someone interested in a slim composite ukulele and a carrying case for taking it along on trips.
The blue 23-inch NOVA U uses a carbon fibre composite body with a side sound hole and a listed weight of 1.25lb. Its kit includes a padded case, strap, capo and spare strings.
Listen to this model before choosing it for someone with a particular sound in mind, and confirm any tuner requirements separately.

for a dedicated record-cleaning session
Spin-Clean Vinyl Record Washer Kit
Someone who wants a more thorough wet-wash approach and cleans records regularly enough to justify a basin system.
A non-powered basin uses paired brushes and rollers to wash both sides of a record. The listed kit includes two drying cloths and 4oz of concentrate to dilute according to its instructions.
Needs space for washing and drying. Confirm the exact record sizes, materials and dilution instructions before use.
