Romantic Idea #3 – Make Him/Her A Mix Tape

December 24, 2009 by Romantic · Leave a Comment

Back in the 80's and 90's everyone made their loved ones a mix tape to show someone how they felt. This was simply the way to show your love; through music. With the introduction of CD's the art form started to lose it's luster. Now with most of the music in digital format mix-tapes are no more. In fact, if you fancy a tape good luck! Unfortunately, the mix tape was so successful and helpful at telling someone how you felt. The mix-tape showed how much you cared as you needed to put in enough work to fix all the songs in 60 minutes, choose the right songs and the right order. Crikey it was a lot of work (but worth it)!

This year you can bring back the mix-tape idea with your loved one. GettingPersonal has released a mixed-tape USB cassette for everyone to enjoy and share. The mix tape is a 64MB USB Memory stick encased in a old school style cassette case. They have done their best to keeping it to the original as it will only hold up to 60 minutes of quality recording time. When finished with the version save it on your hard-drive and wipe it clean and re-used as often as required. A great romantic idea for a loved one who will remember the mix-tape days. Not quite as nostalgic with the younger crowd and they may miss the idea entirely. Click here to purchase the USB Mixed Tape from GettingPersonal.

If you are looking to make something slightly better than a Mix Tape for your loved one then consider our idea of giving an IPod loved with music . This involves buying an ipod and loading it with her favorite music!

A free version of the mix tape which can be equally romantic is to make her a YouTube Playlist. Simply make a playlist of her favorite music, videos and shows.

Whichever romantic idea you choose be sure to leave yourself enough time to select the music and/or videos. Also, be sure to start paying attention to him/her to ensure that you're picking whichever music he/she will like.
