Elvis Memorabilia Buying Guide
With any fan of Elvis Presley,
hard-core or a lightweight, there are many options available for gifts, and especially for personal collections. Luckily, these are widely available, from malls to web sites. As an Elvis fan, my recommendation is to start at the beginning. Of course, everyone has their own style, so just go by what you like. To begin, there are so many albums,
CDs,
and films,
this is a good place to start. (Note: the films are very fun, but the Elvis element is the best part). Next, there are plenty of books
on the subject of Elvis. If you're really interested in the man, the books are the way to go; again, start at the beginning, either 1935 when he was born or 1952 when he started recording. Your choice! Going chronologically is helpful (for the hardcore fan) to see the development in his personal and professional life. Of course, if you really like his 1968 television special and want to start there and jump around in time, that is totally your call. Then, there are the very enjoyable thousands upon thousands of pieces of merchandise available from Elvis lunch boxes
to Elvis underwear,
to Elvis Chocolates.
Take your pick! Early Elvis, late Elvis; it's all good, just depends on what you want, what you can afford, and what works best for you or the person you are buying Elvis gifts for.
