This product says right off the label—in bubbly teen-girl writing—"I made you a mixtape." As a child of the '80s, I am really nostalgic about mixtapes.
I used to love making them, particularly for my teenage swain but also for friends I wanted to hip to some rad music. I would employ special fonts for the various bands an songs, like curlicues when I was writing the name The Cure.
I remember the first mixtape I ever got. I was 10 or so and a friend offered to record the song "Dancing in Heaven" for me. My dance troupe and I were doing a jazz dance to the song, and my older sister and I needed to be able to practice it at home. Along with the requisite Q-Feel tune, "Dancing in Heaven," my friend included some real gems from her family's way-cool music collection.
There was "Save It For Later" by the English Beat; "Buffalo Gals" by Malcom McClaron, which seemed so cool it was decadent; "Oh Mickey" by Tony Basil, in English AND in Spanish!!; and "Pass the Dutchie" on the left hand side.
Needless to say, my sis and I wore that tape out!
What a great gift this would be for anyone, from your crush to your sister. Just fill with your favorite songs and go. It costs $25.50.
