Reddit mentions of Crosley CR8005A-TU Cruiser Portable 3-Speed Turntable, Turquoise

That's honestly a pretty heavy ask on your friend's part, especially on such short notice. Wes Anderson is known for a visual style heavily reminiscent of the mid-20th Century, with rather European bent. Rich textures, vibrant colours, vintage props showcased in loving detail, and symmetry, symmetry, symmetry. Every frame he puts on the screen is a postcard. His movies would honestly be totally insufferably twee if they weren't actually incredibly good.

If you google Wes Anderson style you'll see what I mean.

As for a party... I'd see if anyone you know owns a record player like this Crosley and get some old records from the 40s and 50s (if not soundtracks from Wes Anderson's films).

So I'm ordering one of these in every color? Got it. ;)

Thanks for the other specs to look out for, I'll keep them in mind. What's the deal with Crosley though? It's just some cheap shit or does it offend for other reasons?

If you want to pay for something: Vinyl records(Amazon sells this record player for cheap ), CD's, or concert tickets, gift card to a store he likes.

If you want to make something here's things you can do, and also hip hop related.

Hip Hop Artist Paintings

Framed CD's

I usually do these "boxes" where I just fill it with random stuff. Last week I did two different ones that had things like: 2 or 3 CD's they liked, A T- Shirt(I like giving people wind breakers though), Stickers, a Hip Hop related card. I made one that said "Bish don't kill my vibe" and when you open it it had "because it's your birthday" another one that said "Sorry to interupt but __ had the best birthdays of all time" with tickets to a show/ wherever they like to eat/itunes gift card/or money, a pack of ironlak markers because backpackersss, and essencially rolling papers and little jar of cannabis. (I'm a girl so this is why it's so thoughtful lol) If not just the paintings, I can't draw but I like doing stencils on canvas, they look really nice.

check this thing out -- http://amzn.com/B00990Z4W6

that has speakers built in.

amazon is a great website, ever heard of it?

I've seen the one I have for like $80 or less sometimes. The sound really isn't that bad, and it's nice to have because it does play my 45's better than my actual turn table.

True! And it's actually "not that bad" and it's portable -> http://www.amazon.com/Crosley-CR8005A-TU-Portable-Turntable-Turquoise/dp/B00990Z4W6/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1372864948&sr=8-6&keywords=crosley+record+player

I've always wanted a record player and to start buying vinyls. I hear the sound is better, and crisper. SO specifically this one.

A portable record player. It would look soo good with my beetle convertible. Same color too.

Other than that, I like old movies and because most people haven't heard of them, there is not interest in getting them.

Show this gift some love.

I use just a standard Crosley Cruiser Portable and a lot of people don't like them cause they're "not the best" apparently but mine is fine, it gets the job done, plus it's pretty small so it doesn't take up a lot of room. The cheapest ones are on Amazon and have a ton of different colors.
