Alternative Valentines gifts - Vinyl Clocks

Excuse me while I quote one of my favourite films 'Love is like oxygen, love is a many splendored thing! Love lifts us up where we belong! All you need is love!' - Moulin Rouge, 2001. Never has a statement been more true. Well, we need money and have to eat, just as Satine points out, but love really does give you that incredible buzzing feeling, a similar feeling to hearing your favourite song loudly or re-discovering a song from your childhood. So, continuing my Alternative valentines day, how about something that links music and love, two of the greatest highs of life.

Vinyl Clocks.


"The idea behind Vinyl Clocks is really very simple. Music evokes memories.  You don't have to hear the music to trigger the memory, just the name of the song, the rest is in your head." explains Tim of VC.

"We always look at clocks, so each time you check the time, you get a good memory as well."

For me it certainly does, whether it's a guy I've dated or a song from parties, clubs or even songs from films. You don't really remember how much you miss a song until you hear it again,  something about a lyric that triggers those forgotten memories, nothing beats that joy. I then over-play the song for days but that's my own fault.  Such an awkward turtle.

I'm a fan of 'different' and unique products. Whether it's clothes, shoes, make up or just household items I enjoy having a story to tell behind the item. I've yet to move into my very own place (just me, no annoying housemates/parents) but I have set out a room plan for each room of the flat - yes, I am weird like that.) 

Want to let your other half know that you actually are aware of their favourite song or their favourite band? Impress them with to a Vinyl Clock! Your song, their favourite or simply just a message you wish to get across to them 'I want your sex' by George Michael was a choice last year...very to the point to the say the least! Ahem.

You can choose your ideal vinyl through genres, decades and even send a request: Vinyl Clocks

Varying from ELO and Beatles through to Foo Fighters and Elbow. There are so many I want! 

Just have a few more months to wait, a wall full of clocks is normal, right?
