It’s always cause for celebration when friends buy a new house or move into a new apartment. If you’re invited to the housewarming party – or if you want to give them a little something to celebrate their new digs – dip into their favorite activities to find gift ideas for their new home. Memorabilia – whether it’s sports memorabilia, movie memorabilia, music memorabilia or any one of dozens of other interests that give rise to collectibles and memorabilia – always finds a welcome place on the walls or in display space in a new home. If you’re unsure about what type of collectibles and memorabilia gifts your friends might appreciate, consider some of these ideas to help you decide.
Memorabilia Gifts for Music Lovers
Wall art and wall hangings for music lovers run the gamut from album covers of classic albums to autographed guitars or a signed guitar display. Check the websites of dealers of collectible items to find out what they have available. Signed guitars are all the rage these days – it seems like everyone from Justin Bieber to Stephen Tyler have put their John Hancock on beautifully decorated and painted guitars – but you may find dealers offering something really special. The highest value autographed guitars will be those that were actually played onstage by the artist who signed it, but you may also find some guitars that offer extra special value because they’re framed with other bits and pieces of memorabilia from the artist’s career.
Celebrity Autographs on Unusual Items
Guitars are only one of the memorabilia items that collect celebrity autographs. For your favorite sports lover, consider an autographed team jersey, mounted and framed for display in a man room. Other ideas for a man cave include autographed basketballs, baseballs and hockey pucks, or signed baseball bats or hockey sticks. Keep your eye on collectible sites if you’re looking for an unusual piece of sports or movie memorabilia. You never know what might turn up with the autograph of a favorite sports celebrity or movie star.
Beautiful Horses and Racing Memorabilia
Triple Crown winners are favorites among those who play the ponies or show horses. If you’re looking for the perfect wall art and décor ideas for a horse lover, you’ll find dozens of stunning horse photo displays that feature Secretariat, Triple Crown winners like Affirmed and Seattle Slew and famous horses like Barbaro, whose injury in the 2006 Preakness sparked a national call for reforms in the racing world.
Celebrity, music and sport memorabilia make wonderful and thoughtful housewarming gifts for friends. If you’re looking for the perfect finishing touch or ideal gift for a sports, racing or music aficionado, check out the variety of memorabilia gifts available through a reputable dealer of mementos and collectibles.
