Some of us still keep vinyl around, and then some of us just romanticize vinyl. If that's you, then forget your dream of buying a turntable and just hook up a Vintage Vinyl CD Packaging Kit ($17)!
These are great for making mixes and giving CDs or DVDs as gifts for the holidays and then "wrapping" them as records, or for your own personal stash of compact discs.

Somehow the '60s British boy band, The Beatles, has managed to stand the test of time. Having lived through the "American Invasion," baby boomers, many now grandparents, used to scream and even cry at the site of the bowl cut lads. Now, their spawn can enjoy the legacy of the pop band, too.

Times, they are a changin'. I used to shop for the most stylish CD shelves, now the only storage I look for for music is on a hard drive.
I don't miss having to find a creative way to keep all my plastic boxes, but I do miss shopping in a record store for new music.

If you live in a studio or are just low on space, after you toss any junk you don't need, you should consider slimming down on everything from furnishings to accessories to storage units. With so many great movies to see, for many of us, collecting DVDs is a hobby that leaves a growing footprint our homes. But that doesn't mean you should say goodbye to your favorite stars.

Lisa Loeb and Elizabeth Mitchell's children's album Catch the Moon ($14) is a subtle and sweet addition to a genre that normally produces the type of tunes that wear on adult nerves. Loeb's lullaby voice is the perfect vessel for folky favorites like "Big Rock Candy Mountain," "Catch The Moon" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." The songs are infectious, but not repetitive or flighty — the ideal soundtrack to a lazy Sunday afternoon or a wind down to naptime.

With so many ways that you can buy and download songs online, it seems like forever ago that I bought music in an actual store! So when Woolworths – a popular UK chain of stores – announced that they will soon halt the sale of CD singles, it got me thinking back to the last time I bought one.
I fondly remember rushing to my local Wherehouse music store, snatching up my copy of NKOTB's "Dirty Dawg" and wore it out like it was the last single on earth.

These days, there's really no reason to have CDs lying around since we get our music fix on Napster and Pandora, and download our music over at iTunes. And now even with Amazon's music service.
Thankfully for Mother Earth, this reduces our need for less than eco friendly packaging and waste to pile up in landfills.

If you want to give an original gift to a brand new baby, hop on the personalization train and order a Name Your Tune CD ($20).
Each CD has 14 classic children's tunes that incorporate the new tot's name in the lyrics more than 80 times. It's truly a welcome to the world and the music encourages learning and language development. 
Even with the proliferation of digital music, I still can't seem to part with my CDs, and it seems many of you still buy CDs, too. Just how many do you have taking up space in your house?
