Birthday Vinyl Record Gift

Yes — for almost any birthday, and especially for milestones. A custom vinyl record plays their songs, shows their photos on the cover, and tells the story of who they are in a format that lasts. It's personal in a way no generic gift can match. Whether it's a 21st birthday or an 80th, the record is built specifically for them — and for nobody else.

Every record includes a front and back cover designed from their photos, their playlist recorded on real vinyl (Side A and Side B), personalized center labels with their name and date, and a digital art proof delivered within 24 hours. Nothing goes to production until you approve the design. Shipping to the US, Canada, and Europe is free.

You receive their art proof within 24 hours. Production takes approximately 7–10 days after approval. Standard shipping to the US and Canada is free and takes 10 business days after the record ships. For a specific date, order at least 3 weeks in advance — or contact us for a rush order and we'll do our best to meet your deadline.

A custom birthday vinyl record is a real, playable vinyl record made with their photos on the cover and their chosen songs pressed inside. It works on any standard turntable. Unlike a framed photo or a digital playlist, it combines a visual keepsake with an audio experience — something they can hold, display, and play.

Yes. Every record CCS Vintage produces plays on any standard turntable — from entry-level Victrola or Crosley players to high-end audiophile setups. Our records are lathe-cut, which means they play at a slightly lower volume than commercial records — you'll need to turn up the turntable a bit. The experience is real and analog.

The 7-inch holds up to 6 minutes of audio per side — ideal for a single song, a short voice message, or one side per decade. The 12-inch holds up to 20 minutes per side — enough for a full birthday playlist — and the larger format makes the cover artwork much more impactful. For birthday gifts, most people choose the 12-inch. Prices start at $54.97 for the 7-inch and $129.97 for the 12-inch. See all sizes and prices →

Yes. You can place the order without them knowing. Upload their photos and playlist directly on the product page — no separate form, no back-and-forth. The art proof comes to your email within 24 hours, and we ship to any address you choose. Their record ships in a square cardboard vinyl mailer — solid, discreet, and built to protect the record in transit. It doesn't say what's inside, so the surprise stays intact until they open it. You can wrap it yourself if you'd like to add a personal touch.

The record ships in a square cardboard vinyl mailer — solid and discreet, it doesn't say what's inside. It doesn't come pre-wrapped, but it's the perfect shape and size to wrap yourself — a square parcel is one of the most satisfying things to unwrap. If you want to make it even more special, a piece of kraft paper and a ribbon go a long way.

Order now to lock in your delivery date. You can send their photos and playlist whenever you're ready — even days later. We'll hold your slot and wait for you.

Yes, for personal use. We make one record for one person — this is a private keepsake, not a commercial release. For the best audio quality, we recommend purchasing the songs on iTunes or Amazon Music and sharing the downloaded files rather than streaming links. If you have questions about specific tracks, contact Henry directly before ordering.

Yes. Instead of songs, you can fill the record with voice messages from friends and family — each person records something personal, Henry edits the audio, and it's all pressed on vinyl. You can also mix voice messages with songs. If you want to do this, contact Henry before ordering and he'll guide you through the process and confirm the total audio time that fits.

Yes — milestone birthdays are exactly where a custom vinyl record earns its place. A 30th birthday record captures the songs that defined their twenties. A 50th birthday record is a chance to press the soundtrack of half a century — the songs that were playing at every chapter. These are the birthdays that deserve more than a standard present, and a record built specifically for them delivers that.
