We're scanning the web for the best deals on Apple products, big-screen TVs, and robot vacuums over Black Friday. We also take great pride in finding you budget-friendly deals for under $25 and under $50. This is not one of these deals. This is at the other end of the spectrum.

The EF EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra is on sale for $3,799 in the Amazon Black Friday sale. That's $2,500 off and the lowest-ever price for this model. We've already seen a bunch of impressive deals on power stations over Black Friday, but this might be the best of the bunch. It's over $2,000 off for goodness sake.

The Delta Pro Ultra is a whole house generator that includes an inverter and a battery. One inverter supports 120V and 240V and has a massive 7,200W output, allowing you to run almost any heavy household appliance in an emergency. One battery of 6kWh can be fully recharged in two hours. That's "faster than any other 6kWh solar generator," according to EF EcoFlow.

Save over $2,000 on the EF EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra in the Amazon Black Friday sale.

The best Black Friday 100-inch TV deals at a glance: Best TV for Movies Hisense 100-inch Class QD6 Series $1,299.99 (save $700) Get Deal Best TV for Live Sport Hisense 100-Inch U7 Mini-LED ULED TV $2,197.99 (save $1,300) Get Deal Best TV for Gaming Sony Bravia 5 98-Inch TV $3,998 (save $1,001.99) Get Deal

Black Friday and huge, discounted TVs go hand-in-hand. It’s a tale as old as time. And by huge, we’re talking whopper-sized smart TVs with all the latest spec and features. In this case, TVs that measure a full 100 inches (or thereabouts). It’s the kind of TV that takes you to another plane of reality, whether you’re immersed in a movie, game, or live sporting event.

There are a number of 100-inch TVs on sale at Amazon for Black Friday. So here’s a quick roundup of the best models and biggest savings.

The Hisense 100-inch Class QD6 Series is perhaps best described as the entry level model in this roundup — if indeed there’s such a thing as an entry level 100-inch TV. It uses QLED screen technology, with support for more eye-popping tech — Dolby Vision, 4K upscaling, AI smooth motion, and a billion shades of color. It also has Gaming Mode Pro, with gaming specific refresh rate of 144Hz, plus a Filmmaker Mode that optimises movies so they’re seen the way the filmmakers intended. It runs on the popular Fire TV operating system and has an Alexa remote for voice assistant control. And it currently has a major discount of $700 for Black Friday.

The Hisense 100-inch U7 Mini-LED ULED is a step up from the above TV, both in terms of spec and Black Friday discount. With a massive saving of $1,300 it represents even more value than the cheaper model. It’s built with ULED screen technology — which is Hisense’s own version of QLED — and has a souped up refresh rate of 165Hz, plus AI-powered image optimizing, Dolby Atmos, and an anti-reflection display for comfortable all-day viewing. It also throws Game Ultra and Filmmaker modes into what is already a monster package.

OK, so the Sony Bravia 5 98-inch is two inches short of the full 100, though you’ll hardly notice when the TVs are this massive. And what it lacks in a couple of inches it makes up for in spec. This is the biggest model from Sony’s flagship Bravia range. Powered by the Google TV operating system and Mini-LED display technology, it’s made for the full home cinema experience, featuring access to the largest selection of IMAX Enhanced movies you'll find via the Sony Pictures Core app. An XR processor uses AI to tweak and optimize every frame. In other words, this TV looks incredible.

Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy get a lot of attention for their annual Black Friday sales, but we're here to put some respect on the Home Depot's name. Just like last year, the Home Depot is giving away free cordless tools with eligible purchases in an epic BOGO promotion. As part of this buy-one-get-one sale, you can pick up a cordless drill, an extra battery and charger pack, a cordless leaf blower, a circular saw, and tons more tools with your purchase. The extra tool is absolutely free.

All you have to do is pick out a qualifying "main item" and the free tool of your choice will be included in your order. A ton of top-rated Ryobi, Dewalt, and Milwaukee products are available as freebies in this promotion. Here's an example of how it works: Add the Milwaukee Cordless Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit to your cart, and then you'll be able to select a free gift with purchase.

An impact wrench is a clutch tool to have on hand for a variety of DIY jobs around the house (from assembling furniture to building a whole-ass patio) to car repairs.

Even more Black Friday deals on cordless tools

Black Friday deals on cordless tools are just as valuable to the average non-handy person as they are to DIY experts. Just imagine being able to mount your new TV on the wall without begging a friend with a drill to come over. Or being able to assemble a new piece of furniture with an Allen wrench drill bit instead of twisting the entire thing by hand.

Black Friday deals on Shark and Ninja appliances aren't hard to find. Any of the big retailers like Amazon or Target have at least one or two. But there's a major incentive to shop those Black Friday deals directly from the SharkNinja website instead: On top of matching those sale prices, SharkNinja is giving away a ton of free gifts with your purchase of popular gadgets like the Shark Glam, the Ninja Slushi or Ninja Crispi, or a Shark vacuum. Most are Mashable-backed items that we've tested and recommended even at full price.

And these aren't lousy little gifts like a free dustbin bag or free cleaning brush. The free gifts are also high-value Shark or Ninja products themselves, with most ranging in value from $79 to $169. Think free Shark NeverChange air purifier or free Ninja Blast blender — maybe something you were thinking of buying anyway, or maybe the perfect gift for someone on your list.

Here's a quick rundown of the best Ninja and Shark deals with the best free gifts:

Best Shark Black Friday deal with a freebie Opens in a new window Credit: Shark Shark Cordless PowerDetect Clean & Empty System $399.99
$549.99 Save $150 Free steam mop ($79 value) Get Deal Why I like it

Though I'd opt for a Dyson with a laser for vacuuming hard floors, this Shark PowerDetect cordless vacuum is the best stick vacuum for pet hair on carpet that I've ever used even compared to the best Dysons. You can feel how tenacious the suction power is as you push it across the floor (or is it pulling you?)

The PowerDetect auto-empties its own dustbin every time you hang it back up to charge. Not only does this get you off the hook from emptying it yourself every day, but it means that every cleaning session starts with a clean slate — so you'll see proof of how much gunk was sucked up specifically from the room at hand.

The Shark Cordless PowerDetect is on sale for $399.99, matching its sale price at Amazon. That's already a phenomenal discount on a self-emptying stick vacuum, but grabbing the deal at SharkNinja directly is the only way you'll get a free $79 steam mop.

This Lego Christmas playset comes with 24 toys in total, and it's packed with easter eggs for Star Wars fans, young and old. (BB-8 as a snowman? A Jawa in a holiday sweater? Say less.)

Are you enamored with the idea of scoring insane deals and buying new PC components this Black Friday? Now might be a decent time to buy a GPU or CPU, but you should pump the brakes on that hot RAM deal you might have found.

Buying gifts for the special woman in your life can be tricky. What do you buy a person who has everything? What should you gift to someone who's picky about their products? Our advice is to curate a gift according to her interests and personality.

A gift for the lady in your life should be just that: A gift for her. Part of our bigger series on the Best Gifts For Everyone, we’ve put together this comprehensive list to guide you on your important mission. And if it happens to be a teen girl you're shopping for, then we have a list for that, too.

So whether she's a techie, runner, or pet owner, these are the best gifts for her.

The best early Black Friday book deals: Best overall Buy one, get one 50% off books Select hardcovers and paperbacks Get Deal Best hardcover book deal "The Women" by Kristin Hannah $12.51 (save $17.59) Get Deal Best paperback deal "Final Girls" by Riley Sager $7.12 (save $11.88) Get Deal Best Kindle book deal "All Her Fault" by Andrea Mara $0.99 (save $4) Get Deal

If you're looking to stack your TBR list for cozy season — or help someone else stack theirs — it's time to get going. Although Black Friday is technically on Nov. 28, there are plenty of book deals you can shop early.

While I'm still not overly impressed by Kindle edition and hardcover deals, there are some pretty impressive discounts on paperbacks that are already live. I compared the prices with those from Amazon's October Prime Day and only included titles that are worthy of the "Black Friday deal" stamp. I'll be keeping an eye out for new deals to drop as we get closer to Black Friday proper — particularly on some of 2025's bestsellers and BookTok favorites. But for now, I've rounded up some of the top early Black Friday book deals you can already add to your cart.

Also of note: Amazon is offering three months of Kindle Unlimited for only 99 cents (save $35.97) and three months of Audible Premium Plus for 99 cents per month plus a $20 credit (save $41.88) to new and returning subscribers. Kindle devices are also chilling at new all-time low prices (be sure to check out our e-reader expert's top picks). You can follow along with all of the best deals in Mashable's Black Friday hub.

Most of the books on Goodreads' and Amazon's top books of 2025 lists haven't gotten the deal treatment yet. Sure, they're slightly discounted, but I think they can do better. In the meantime, the best way you can save some money on some of this year's bestsellers and BookTok favorites is with this BOGO deal at Amazon. With over 1,000 included titles, you'll save 50% on one book when you purchase two from the list of select hardcovers and paperbacks. Some notable titles included in the list are Buckeye by Patrick Ryan, Broken County by Clare Leslie Hall, The Names by Florence Knapp, and Heart the Lover by Lily King. To secure the savings, just add any two titles from the sale page to your cart, and the offer will automatically be applied at checkout.

Walmart's official Black Friday sale runs between Nov. 25 and Nov. 30. We've combed through the latest drop of doorbusters, compared the options to competitors, and have handpicked a list of the worthwhile Walmart Black Friday deals to snag — before they sell out.

Walmart is no longer in early Black Friday mode. The retailer's official Black Friday sale kicked off on Tuesday, Nov. 25 — which feels early until you remember that Target's official sale started on Nov. 23, and Best Buy's even earlier on Nov. 20. Walmart definitely brings the doorbusters to make up for that time, though: We're already seeing some jaw-dropping record-low prices, like the Apple AirPods 4 on sale for $69, the M1 MacBook Air for $549, the Lego Star Wars Executor Super Star Destroyer for $40, and Magic Bullets for just $15 a pop.

Best Walmart Black Friday TV deal Opens in a new window Credit: Hisense Hisense 75-inch H5 QLED 4K Roku TV $378 at Walmart
$499 Save $121   Get Deal Why we like it

Walmart officially has the cheapest 75-inch QLED TV of Black Friday so far. The 75-inch Hisense H5 QLED TV bumps the previous winner (the $399.99 75-inch Insignia QF QLED at Amazon) to second place by $20 and some change. If you're a Roku TV person over a Fire TV person anyway, this Hisense is such a no-brainer upgrade. Compared to a regular LED TV, the QLED difference in brightness and color saturation will be palpable the first time you try to watch anything in a sunlit room.

The M1 MacBook Air is the cheapest Apple laptop we recommend. It's quiet, sleek, super portable, and way faster than similarly priced Chromebooks. Walmart almost always has it on sale for $599 (regularly $649), so we were looking for an even deeper Black Friday discount. Our wish was granted: It's now just $549, or 15% off.

How often do you get to say that the latest (non-Pro) AirPods are almost 50% off? Almost never, so bag these before they disappear.

Black Friday proper is still a few days away, but most major Black Friday sales are officially in full swing, and the latest deals on wireless earbuds definitely reflect that.

While we saw some early Black Friday earbuds deals last week, Thanksgiving week has brought plenty more record prices, with Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target hosting sales. Walmart and Amazon have the Apple AirPods 4 down to a new record-low of $69, Walmart has the AirPods Pro 2 down to $139, and Amazon's brought back its classic $35 Echo Buds with ANC deal. More premium new releases are on sale too: The second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds are down to a record-low of $216.

The second-gen Bose QC Ultra earbuds dropped this past September and got their first discount by the end of the same month, with a nearly $42 price cut. When we saw they dropped to $249 in November, we weren't sure we'd get an even lower price during Black Friday, but as sales kicked off in earnest, the black and desert gold colorways went down to $216, a new record-low price. With their rich sound, excellent noise cancellation, and nearly unbeatable comfort, they're certainly a premium earbud, but on sale, an absolutely great value.

The Shokz OpenDots One are Mashable's favorite open earbuds for most people, but they can be tricky to catch on sale, making them the perfect Black Friday purchase. In his review, Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti sang their praises, noting the sound quality that rivaled the more expensive Bose Ultra Open earbuds (also on sale), the 10 hours of battery life per charge, and great touch controls (which are not to be underrated, especially if you plan on using these earbuds while exercising).

The Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds aren't your only viable option for sleep earbuds, but at this sale price of $107.99, they may be the best value. While the newer A30 buds (also on sale) offer ANC and some white noise features, we don't think they necessarily justify a $72 price difference, making the A30 buds firmly an upgrade option, and the A20 buds the best option for most people. Even with just the passive noise cancellation, they were able to block standard nighttime sounds like noisy neighbors, street noise, and AC units. They're especially great if you plan on streaming audio.

So far, physical AI devices have not been a hit with consumers. The much-talked-about Rabbit R1 didn't receive rave reviews from Mashable when we reviewed it last year, and now it's sort of languishing in tech purgatory. The other highly anticipated device, the Humane Pin, was already killed off in February, just one year after it launched.

Will OpenAI's device have better luck? OpenAI CEO Sam Altman seems to think so, according to what he had to say about it in a new interview.

If you haven't yet heard, OpenAI is currently working on an AI hardware product with Apple's former chief designer Jony Ive. So far, what is known about OpenAI's device is that it's a small screenless AI companion, which already sounds much like the other physical AI devices that came before it. The last we heard about OpenAI's AI device was that it was facing delays due to technical difficulties with both the software and hardware for the product.

OpenAI's 'vibes'-based AI device

Over the weekend, Altman spoke more about OpenAI's AI device in an interview at Emerson Collective’s 9th annual Demo Day in San Francisco with Laurene Powell Jobs. While Altman didn't give too many more details about the device in terms of specifics, he did explain the "vibe" that OpenAI is going for with the product.

"I think the iPhone is like thus far, the crowning achievement of consumer products. It's an amazing thing," Altman said before launching into a criticism of the iPhone to Steve Jobs' widow. "But one of the things that has gone wrong is when I use current devices or most applications, I feel like I am walking through Times Square in New York and constantly just dealing with all the little indignities along the way: flashing lights in my face, tension going here, people bumping into me." 

Altman explained that flashing notifications from all the various apps and social media platforms are an "unsettling thing." OpenAI is going for a much different vibe with their AI device.

According to Altman, the ChatGPT creator is aiming to bring a vibe of "sitting in the most beautiful cabin by a lake and in the mountains and sort of just enjoying the peace and calm" to its AI device. 

"I think this actually just isn’t possible in the pre-AI world of technology," Altman said. "I think this isn’t possible with the current kinds of devices that we have."

Altman goes on to describe a device that makes users' lives "peaceful and calm and just letting us focus on other stuff." Altman envisions a device with "really smart AI that you trust to do things for you over longs periods of time" and that would "be contextually aware of when it should…present information to you or ask for your input or not." 

"You trust it over time," Altman said. "And it does have just this incredible contextual awareness of your whole life."

Ive, who was also being interviewed alongside Altman, also went on to share that he believed the product would be out in less than two years.

"I hope when people see it, they say 'that’s it?' It's like so simple," Altman said. "But then it just does. As we were talking about, AI can do so much."

OpenAI's AI device sounds a lot like what the AI devices that came before it hoped to do. It looks like we may soon see if OpenAI is the first to actually pull it off.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

When you think of German luxury cars, names like Mercedes, BMW, and Audi probably come to mind first. But there’s a Volkswagen that quietly delivers all the luxury, style, and performance you’d expect—without the sky-high price tag.

It's that time of the year again. Not only is Black Friday and holiday shopping right around the corner, but the cold winter months are nearly here, which means more time in a warm garage working on DIY projects. If you're looking for some new power tools and battery packs, Home Depot just revealed some of its doorbuster deals, and one particular Milwaukee option caught my attention.

AI has matured a lot, and it wouldn't be right not to recognize it. But it also makes the occasional mistake. And when it comes to money, you probably don't want mistakes. So maybe steer clear of Perplexity this Black Friday season.

SAVE $42: Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can score Apple TV+ for just $5.99 per month for six months through Apple TV+ directly or as a Prime Video add-on. Usually $12.99 per month, that comes out to $42 total in savings.

While HBO Max is currently the reigning champ of Black Friday streaming deals, we're also big fans of this six-month offer from Apple TV+.

Through Dec. 1, new and returning subscribers can score Apple TV+ for only $5.99 per month for six months through directly at Apple TV+ or in the form of a Prime Video add-on. For the latter, you'll have to be a Prime member or Prime Video subscriber to take advantage of the deal.

Just like basically every other streaming service, Apple TV+ raised its subscription cost in 2025 from $9.99 to $12.99 per month. Unlike most other streamers, however, Apple TV+ only offers a single ad-free subscription tier. That alone makes this Black Friday deal even sweeter.

We didn't see any major deals on Apple TV+ last Black Friday, but we did spot a Prime Day offer on the Prime Video add-on, which knocked the cost down to $4.99 per month. But that deal was only valid for two months. There have also been discounts from time to time for up to three months. This is the first time, however, that we can remember seeing a six-month-long discounted subscription.

Apple TV+ is flooded with excellent content, showcasing a virtually all-original lineup. You'll get to watch Emmy winners like The Studio, Ted Lasso, Severance, and The Morning Show, and Oscar-winners and nominees like CODA and Killers of the Flower Moon, all ad-free for just $5.99 per month. In other words, you'll get more than your money's worth. Just remember: If you don't want to pay the full $12.99 per month, cancel before the six-month promotional period is up.

Black Friday wouldn't be Black Friday without deals on toys, and Legos on sale are an absolutely crucial building block of Black Friday toy deals. 2025 has already seen such a strong wave of Black Friday Lego deals, and you might break a sweat trying to keep tabs on which retailers have which set — unless you're reading Mashable's daily curated list of the best Lego deals from across the internet.

Lego sets we've seen on sale so far include coveted Lego Star Wars (including sets retiring soon), Minecraft, Wicked, and more, almost all at record-low pricing. If the fleeting early Lego deals that dropped last week are any indication, popular Lego deals don't stick around for long. If one catches your eye, grab it while it's still available.

The adorable Grogu with Hover Pram set is expectedly sold out after an incredible 50% discount. But that was hardly Amazon's only good Lego Star Wars deal. It's not nearly as massive as the $849.99 Millenium Falcon you can buy, but this sick Millennium Falcon midi scale set is still unquestionably display worthy. It's a special edition that celebrates the 25th anniversary of "A New Hope," exhibited by a special plaque that sits on the display stand.

Super detailed Lego sets are some of the most fun. The fan favorite Trotting Lantern set looks like true decor when it's built and lit up with the Lego light brick, and can be customized with two alternative silhouette windows. Open it up to see three separate rooms inside, including a shadow theater and traditional new year food stalls.

Lego's official Black Friday sale starts on Black Friday itself (Nov. 28). We're anticipating deals on some mega popular sets (like Star Wars ships that rarely see discounts). Plus, spending at least $65 will unlock a free Lego set that can't be purchased separately: Spend $65 to get the Lego Card Game Set, spend $170 to get the Lego Hot Chocolate Stand, or spend $250 to get the Lego Mini Knight's Castle. Make sure you're a Lego Insiders member (it's free!) to get access to any exclusive promos and redeemable loyalty points.

Note: We previously named the Lego Star Wars: Desert Skiff and Sarlacc Pit set our favorite Lego website deal. It sold out there, but Macy's still has it in stock at the same $63.99 sale price.

A best seller on the Lego website (but still full price on said Lego website), Walmart has the 15th anniversary Lego Minecraft Crafting Table for $40 — more than 50% off its usual $89.99. You don't need to punch any trees to get logs to build this crafting table. Minecrafters can hone a different type of building skill with this 1,195 piece set, which features five mini builds of 12 iconic Minecraft biomes inside the table itself.

Walmart dropped so many more great Lego deals for the kickoff of its Black Friday sale on Nov. 25. We've already watched on-sale Legos disappear at Walmart this month, so don't hesitate if you find a good price on a set you like.

Well, it looks like your Spotify subscription is about to get even more expensive.

According to a new report from the Financial Times, Spotify is planning to increase subscription prices in the new year. The report states that analysts from JPMorgan estimate that Spotify users will face a $1-per-month price increase, bringing subscriptions up to $12.99 per month, about $3 more per month than when Spotify first launched 14 years ago.

While this will mark its first price hike in the U.S. since July 2024, TechCrunch reported, the streaming service has increased prices in other countries including the UK, Switzerland, and Australia.

All the while, conversations about Spotify Wrapped feel remarkably quiet in comparison to previous years, when the end of November was full of posts that read, "WHEN IS WRAPPED GOING TO DROP I NEED IT NOW?!?!?!?!?!?"

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

This is an interesting time for Spotify, to say the least.

Users have been leaving in droves, if you believe the sentiment of posters on X and Reddit, who say they're ditching the app for a variety of reasons from AI slop music to Spotify allowing ads for ICE recruitment. Musicians, too, are taking their music off of the platform, including Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Hotline TNT, The Mynabirds, WU LYF, Kadhja Bonet, Young Widows, and more.

Just a few weeks ago, Spotify's CEO Daniel Ek announced he plans to step down to become the executive chairman.

HBO Max is heating up December by way of all the new titles they’re adding—some of the most exciting of which are the arrivals of all seven seasons of one of television’s most renowned shows, Mad Men, and the 80s cult classic film The Goonies.

It began with one record, singer-songwriter Josh Ritter’s Hello Starling. The album was originally released in September 2003, just a couple months before my now-wife Steph and I started dating. It was the soundtrack to our first year together. I owned it on CD back then, but had long since parted ways with my CD collection.

And yet, here it was again, now on vinyl, given to me by Steph to mark our 10-year anniversary. We didn’t own a turntable; I had no way of listening to the record, but that didn’t matter. It was the physical manifestation of the music that made us. After a decade or so of digital-only music, holding the record — seeing the album art in print and larger than an image thumbnail, turning it over in my hands, and reading the liner notes — felt like a revelation.

Vinyl records can feel impractical: They’re big, decidedly not portable, and a single album costs twice as much as several months of a streaming service that gets you more or less every song in history. But my family soon learned there’s a reason — besides Taylor Swift — that vinyl has staged a surprising comeback. Our turntable changed our relationship to music and quality time with each other, and started a new holiday tradition.

A few years after that first gift, we happened upon a collection of hand-me-down records. I don’t remember where they came from, but it was a random assortment — some Beatles, the original cast recordings of Annie and The Sound of Music, music from Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers. Our kids were 6 and 4, beginning to form opinions about music, and I thought it might be cool if they could experience music as something visceral, beyond what they could access by shouting at Alexa.

I reached out to a friend who also happened to be a DJ and asked if he had a spare turntable lying around that he wasn’t using. He offered his Numark TTX, one of two he’d replaced with higher-quality Technics decks. I connected it to an old pair of crappy computer speakers, dropped the needle on The Beatles’ Revolver, and was hooked from the moment I heard the familiar warm popping sound at the start of the record.

Before long, the rest of the family fell in love too. The kids liked that they could put on a record and start an instant dance party. Steph liked the predictability — after years of Alexa playing the wrong song, it was nice to know that when the needle touched down, the music you chose would play.

The turntable started out in our office, but before long we moved it out to the living room. We got a set of Edifier bookshelf speakers and a new piece of furniture with space for our growing record collection. The turntable and records became the centerpiece of our living room and, by extension, of our life at home. We’d put on a record when we walked back into the house, play something quiet while we ate dinner, and then again to wind down at night after the kids went to bed.

You don’t have to be an audiophile (or friends with a DJ) to find the right turntable: They’re available at all price points and easy to just plug in and use. The Audio-Technica AT-LP60X is often recommended as a high-quality budget option for beginners; it features a fully automatic arm and options for upgrading later. The U-Turn Orbit, made by a small company in the Boston area where we live, offers a classy look for an accessible price.

A new holiday tradition

Soon after we got our turntable, records became a fixture of our family’s gift-giving practice. Every Christmas and birthday in the past five years has brought new records. We’ve given the kids albums in their Easter baskets, and Steph and I have exchanged favorites old and new at the holidays. It’s been a joy to rediscover the magic of giving music. It’s an inherently thoughtful gift that says, I know you love this album. Or, Since I know you so well, I think you’ll really like this one. As Rob, the main character in Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity, says of making a mixtape, it’s “using someone else’s poetry to express how you feel.”

There are practical reasons why records make great gifts as well. You can pick up albums on the cheap in the “used” section of a local record store (they still exist!) or you can drop a hefty amount for limited editions, foreign imports, box sets, special colored vinyl, or other premium offerings.

In our family, we now pay attention to each other’s streaming music and listen closely whenever someone talks about an artist they’re into. My daughter was listening to a lot of Gracie Abrams, so we got her The Secret of Us. My son somehow got super into Imagine Dragons, so we got him Night Visions and, when it was released last year, Loom. Neither of these are exactly my favorites, but they are vast improvements over the earliest records we bought for them: a Record Store Day Exclusive 45 RPM of the Paw Patrol theme song and the Frozen soundtrack were among their first vinyl.

Steph knows my music taste intuitively at this point, and there’s a never-ending list of albums I’ve loved over the past two decades that I either used to own on CD or only ever streamed, to say nothing of all the new music I listen to. She’s gotten good at creating pairings of old and new. One Christmas a couple of years ago she got me two old favorites — The Beatles' Abbey Road and The Avett Brothers' I and Love and You — paired with two newer selections, Ruston Kelly’s Dirt Emo and Mary Lattimore’s Silver Ladders.

For my part, I’ve kept Steph well stocked with Taylor Swift albums (in some cases both the original and Taylor’s Versions), as well as perennial favorites like Brandi Carlisle, Caamp, and Noah Kahan.

Recently we’ve been buying the kids records as a form of cultural education. They really should know Queen, we thought, so we gifted them Queen’s Greatest Hits. After the first day of school this year, my daughter thanked me for exposing her to so much music — her seventh-grade class played a music trivia game, and she impressed her teacher with how much she knew.

Buying records is also a way of supporting two struggling institutions we really believe in: local retailers (shout out to The Record Exchange in Salem, Massachusetts!) and independent musicians. We buy a record whenever we attend a show.

Last year, Josh Ritter toured for the twentieth anniversary of Hello Starling. Steph and I went, and at the end we made a beeline for the merch table. We already own Hello Starling, of course, as well as its follow up The Animal Years and 2019’s Fever Breaks, so we gifted ourselves Ritter’s 2007 album The Historical Conquest of Josh Ritter. This brought our Josh Ritter collection up to four — the most records we have by any one artist. Except, of course, for Taylor Swift.
