Any ideas for an anniversary gift or experience to gift my husband? He has it all, he doesn’t “need” anything. I’m dry out of ideas. Thank you!

My husband and I have a tradition of gifting each other vinyl records for meaningful occasions and slowly building our collection together over the years… I need opinions from fellow music people please!

I wanted to gift him Based on a True Story by Fat Freddy's Drop for our anniversary, because “Flashback” was basically our song when we first met and fell in love.

The issue is that older pressings are insanely expensive right now ($150-$200+ on Discogs!!), and the new 21st anniversary edition is about to come out on June 5 (over 1 week after the anniversary, plus shipping times… it could be over a month).

So now I’m torn:

- Do I give him a cute “the vinyl is coming soon” type of voucher/surprise for our anniversary, and then the new edition when I receive it (I could pre-order today)?

- Or do I stop complicating myself and save this album for another special date we’ll celebrate later this year, and choose something else for our anniversary?

And if you think I should save the Fat Freddy’s album for later… what album would you gift for a wedding anniversary gift? Would love to see some suggestions!

Thanks so much!

My child’s teacher loves JW, he’s already a Vault member. We want to get him something meaningful to thank him for this school year. Any suggestions? Thank you!
