Eagles and Eagles-related gifts

[Thirsty&Hot]

My amazing boyfriend really spoiled me with Eagles and Eagles-related gifts this Christmas that I wanted to share with everyone :)

I figured I'd leave Christmas out of the title in case anyone wants to post birthday gifts etc. as well.

Hotel California hoodie

a bronze deer skull necklace ...not quite the same as the Eagles' skull, but still reminds me of them hehe and is really beautiful.

What an awesome boyfriend!

[Thirsty&Hot]

What an awesome boyfriend!

he really is! :D

[sodascouts]

Does he have a brother? lol!

I got one Eagles-related gift from someone on this board who I won't name unless she lets me, but it was the Eagles LP box set! I love it!!!!

haha no brother

that's awesome!
...even though I have all of their records on vinyl...vintage editions including the posters...I kinda want that too just because of the first album having the sleeve printed as originally intended.

[Glennsallnighter]

Lovely presents T&H and Soda! I have been given lots of Eagles related gifts over the years. But because of how awkward it us to ship to Ireland and because my family don't know what I already have they tend to just get me to do the ordering myself and reimburse me.

Indeed our 'joint family' present this Christmas is the 'Hot' ticket packages to the first Dublin gig next year.

I have the box set (on CD) the HC hoodie, the F1 DVD and the picks too! I'd love the box set on vinyl at some stage but it will cost a lot to ship here. As well as the duty!

[prayfordaylight]

Not a gift per se but I got a new turntable for Christmas and found a near mint copy of "The End of the Innocence" on vinyl at a used record store near my dad's.

[SoaringRockyMountainWay]

Thirsty&Hot, I got the pick set too! It's pretty cool huh?:nod:

I was so happy to finally get LROOE and HFO on CD also.

[Thirsty&Hot]

it's amazing what you can find in the way of vinyl for a great price at used record shops. Right after the HotE doc came out, I decided to search for some solo records I didn't have, and in one sweep, from the same bin, I found solo records in VG condition for Bernie, Don H., Randy, and Timothy! and all for 50cents to $1 each!! I guess someone went thru a "Dude" moment haha
I already had most of Glenn's solo records, but I still rarely see any of those when I do look.

oh that's an annoying obstacle..the shipping issues etc! but glad you mostly find ways to get a hold of the stuff you want :)

joint family present...so your family loves the Eagles too? that's cool!

[Thirsty&Hot]

the picks are pretty cool! I don't think I'll actually be using them though haha

[UndertheWire]

I received a surprise present from a colleague today. It's a mug with my name on one side and a picture of the Eagles (1994 vintage) on the other. She didn't have a clue who they were or if she'd got the right people (she's young!) but she remembered how excited I was when I got the tickets for the Toronto concert and she had it made up for me.

Well the kids have pretty much grown up on it, though my daughter is a bit of a rebel heading into the Taylor Swift camp occasionally! But DARE I say that I'm going to see the Eagles and NOT bringing them.........

The now 9 year old son loves them, particularly the ballads. He would hate to miss the concert.

UTW, I love that present. I love to get a gift which someone has put some thought into and really matched up to me

[Brooke]

T&H, you have an awesome boyfriend! He really 'gets' it! You have trained him well! :thumbsup:

I don't recall my family or anyone getting me any Eagles related gifts! I usually buy what I want anyway, so they probably figure I already have it! :lol:

UTW, very awesome friend, too!

[SallyGee]

I got the Party Plane shirt from my daughter, the Eagles hoodie from my son, and a tour book from 1978 from my hubby. He also framed my ticket and an ad with a picture from the Timothy concert we went to last year. Several years ago he gave me an autographed picture and on the back were taped tickets to a concert. This was the Farewell1 tour. My family knows me well.

[luna65]

My best friend is sending me this shirt (among others) as my Xmas present - she was running a bit late this year, lol. I think it is most excellent!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I didn't get any Eagles-related gifts this year. My family used to give me Eagles gifts a lot, but they figured out that I usually already had most of the things they bought me. I did cheat a little this year and ended up buying myself a little something though. I took my niece to a record store that has a lot of the old vinyls, and found a few gems for myself - I got Glenn's 'No Fun Aloud' album, as well as Joe's 'The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get', Randy's 'One More Song', and Poco's 'From the Inside'. I don't really even collect vinyls, but for a buck apiece, I figured I couldn't go wrong.

wow that's awesome!
did you notice the Joe Walsh shirt there? and the Love 'em and Lear 'em shirt?
and there are a lot of other cool shirts on that site too!

Yeah I really want the Love 'Em and Lear 'Em shirt too; she was inspired to get me that one because she knows I love Desperado and I have a shirt from another site with the line from the Steely Dan song "Everything You Did"
Turn up the Eagles, the neighbors are listening
and it's got a picture of an old stereo and Hotel California on it. So she was on the lookout for something equally as cool, heh.

Sure; you can get it here:

[Thirsty&Hot]

thanks luna!!! that's really rad!

[shunlvswx]

My Secret Santa on another board got me the HFO CD for Christmas.

I bought LROOE and Very Best of the Eagles CD yesterday.

Oh that is so sweet
can you post a picture?
I would love one myself.lol
wonder how she did it?

[luna65]

You can make those kinds of things through Zazzle or Cafe Press; I've done a few fanart-related things through Zazzle.

[Glennsallnighter]

I have made some Eagles mugs and calendars through snapfish. They are very good and allow you a lot of freedom

[UndertheWire]

Oh that is so sweet
can you post a picture?
I would love one myself.lol
wonder how she did it?
I think it was this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/the-eagles-MUG-CAN-BE-PERSONALISED-ANY-MESSAGE-/180353480116) but I'm sure you could get one made with your favourite picture at one of the places. I was touched that she'd gone to the trouble of finding it.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

oh wow thank you

I just have never bought anything from over sees before.
have you

[UndertheWire]

It's not overseas for me! I've bought a few things from Australia and the US but the postage costs can be quite high. Take a look at CafePress or a similar site as you can make your own mug for about $20 including delivery. (Click on the Create option)

[Glennsallnighter]

oh wow thank you

I just have never bought anything from over sees before.
have you

You're lucky TT! It costs a fortune when I import officially from the US. For reasons best known to themselves USPS have really racked up their fees! Thanks to HH who sends me things when the seller refuses to even ship here.

[cricrichan]

Wow! You got very nice presents, guys :thumbsup:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

well on my wish list is a eagles photo mug with my border name on the other side.
keeps them guessing at work
when things settle down here It is on my to do list

[Thirsty&Hot]

my best friend got me this t-shirt for my birthday
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/songbirdreleased/Eagles%20etc/59c10ae7-07c5-465e-8fa1-51dbbcee1322_zps1bdbe3fc.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/songbirdreleased/media/Eagles%20etc/59c10ae7-07c5-465e-8fa1-51dbbcee1322_zps1bdbe3fc.jpg.html)

I absolutely love it..love the look of it and love that Glenn is in it!
it's not a vintage tshirt, but it's a vintage iron on transfer that was ironed onto the shirt before being sold.

so this vintage iron on transfer is not a very accurate portrayal of "the Eagles" haha

2 former members, and even at that time...where were Don and Randy?? ok I mean maybe they were just outside of that shot...but you can't make a shirt of "the Eagles" with out all of the members

but I adore it anyway...it has a very cool look! and it fits great!

[sodascouts]

That's fantastic!

[sad-cafe]

My daughters boyfriend gave me Hotel California Vinyl for Christmas. It was still sealed in the plastic sleeve. I opened it and there is a really cool poster inside!

[Thirsty&Hot]

was it vintage sealed or a new copy?
very cool either way! I have a couple of vintage copies that still had the poster inside too, and though they are in very good shape, the sleeves aren't mint

[sad-cafe]

was it vintage sealed or a new copy?
very cool either way! I have a couple of vintage copies that still had the poster inside too, and though they are in very good shape, the sleeves aren't mint
He ordered it from somewhere. I think it is newer pressed but had never been played. I broke the seal and played it. Sounds awesome

[bluefeather]

Wow cool, Sad Cafe! My dad has an original vinyl cop of HC, I keep wishing he would give it to me.

[zeldabjr]

I have been meaning to post this...a very special friend had this made for me for my birthday...a Timothy keychain!! I love it!!

http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh572/zeldabjr/004_zps1d0d7b43.jpg

[Houston Baby]

Oh I love that Z! It is beautiful! The perfect key ring for you! :thumbsup:

[bluefeather]

I would very much like to have THAT in my pocket, zelda:D

[Houston Baby]

I would very much like to have THAT in my pocket, zelda:D

It wouldn't stay in MY pocket much! I would always be looking at it! :hilarious:
Beautiful photo of Timothy!

[bluefeather]

Yeah one of the better Timothy pics:heart:

[Brooke]

My dad has an original vinyl cop of HC, I keep wishing he would give it to me.

bf, maybe he will someday! We gave all of our old vinyls to our daughter except the Eagles ones. Just couldn't part with them yet even though we can't play them. She will get them someday!

Z, I love your keychain! It's gorgeous!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

bj I love it

between that any your wallet you can tell you a Timothy gal lol:hug:

[Glennsallnighter]

What a cute keychain Zelda! Treasure it!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

well I tried to order me an eagles mug...with my screen name on one side and gf on the other ( a special gf pic that JAHH took for me at my birthday show he took me too)
anyway it got screwed up
vcame in as a magic mug which means its black till you put in hot water then there are all these little pics of gf all over it...

gotta try again...at least the guy sold it to me for 5.oo since It was a mistake:hilarious: gf could never be a mistake

[Thirsty&Hot]

nice keychain zelda!

TT - so the mug is just black and when you put hot liquid in it you can see pics of glenn?
so fill it up with something hot and take a pic! hehe
i wanna see :)

[Jonny Come Lately]

For Christmas I received the The Studio Albums - 1972-79 box set. I'm delighted with it, I had a listen to side one of Hotel California and it sounded better than my parents' old CD of the album. I haven't listened to the One Of These Nights disc yet, which is also in their collection, but I expect it hear a similar improvement. I also played a couple of tracks from Eagles (Take It Easy and Earlybird were my picks) as well as Doolin-Dalton. Until now I'd only owned digital versions of the other four so it was nice to be able to put the respective CDs on.

[Brooke]

Very nice gift, JCL!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Very nice, JCL!

Does it count as an Eagles-related gift if people give you Southwest Airlines gift cards for your next Eagles adventure? Now...all I need is for the guys to announce some concerts...

[Jonny Come Lately]

If you're going to using them to go to an Eagles concert, feel free to count it! :thumbsup:

I've just uploaded the HC disc to my computer to replace the old version - has sounded great so far (currently up to Wasted Time), with Life In The Fast Lane sounding particularly fantastic, with the guitars on the sound jumping out much more than before, especially on the outro.

One amusing thing I noticed when I uploaded the CD was that Don Felder was credited as writing all of the songs on the latter half of the album... and people say about him taking all of the credit for Hotel California :nahnah: . I corrected this straight away.

I'll go and upload my new OOTN disc now.

[DivineDon]

It's funny, my mother thinks I'm completely bonkers with my devotion to Don and the Eagles and then she goes and buys me this purse plus a watch made by 'Henley'!!!:hilarious:

[Glennsallnighter]

Thats a lovely purse DD, and VA, I think that your voucher is definitely an Eagles related gift.

No Eagles gifts for me this Christmas. Either my family must think I have everything there is to own, or maybe they feel the can't compete with Scott Crago or Glenn :heart:

[Brooke]

No Eagles gifts for me either. They could have at least gotten me air fare for Australia. VA, can you use yours for Australia? :wink:

DD, your Mom's got it going on! :lol:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Brooke, I don't think Southwest flies to Australia!! Plus, it's only $125! Still, it was sweet of them to think of me and my Eagles adventures.

[WalshFan88]

Very nice everyone that shared their Eagles gifts!

[Brooke]

Brooke, I don't think Southwest flies to Australia!! Plus, it's only $125! Still, it was sweet of them to think of me and my Eagles adventures.

I wouldn't know, VA, since I don't often fly. But yes, it was sweet of them!

[sodascouts]

My sister gave me a $30 Ticketmaster gift card! She told me she knew it wouldn't cover the cost of a whole ticket to an Eagles or Fleetwood Mac show, but at least it would get me started!

[Brooke]

Every little bit helps, doesn't it! :thumbsup:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

It sure does. Now, we just need some tour dates. :pray: :pray: :pray:

[Glennsallnighter]

Exactly Dreamer. What would be my chances of Florida in Early June I wonder.....?

[Thirsty&Hot]

sweet gifts guys!!

glad this thread is still going!

I didn't get any Eagles related gifts this year. But last year's Peaceful Easy Feeling wine lasted the year!

...
and not 1, but 3 bottle of Jack Tempchin's Peaceful Easy Feeling Cabernet!!! which came with Jack's cd that features Glenn :D
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/songbirdreleased/Eagles%20etc/0D398757-1068-4301-BFAE-C7D023BDBD50_zpsri8ib70v.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/songbirdreleased/media/Eagles%20etc/0D398757-1068-4301-BFAE-C7D023BDBD50_zpsri8ib70v.jpg.html)

I shared the last bottle with my (long lost) sister when I got to meet her right before Christmas! (for those who missed it, story can be found here (https://www.eaglesonlinecentral.com/forum/showpost.php?p=291218&postcount=1858)!)

I told her I had been saving it for a special occasion and I couldn't think of a more perfect person to share it with! :heart: Afterall, she loves the Eagles too, and we both almost died in the desert, and we both stayed in Room 8 of the Joshua Tree Inn where Gram Parsons died, and Peaceful Easy Feeling makes us think of laying out on the back patio under the desert stars. And, of course, because what a SPECIAL occasion!!!

I also steamed off the label for her so she can frame it!

I just read your post in the "What's Happening In Your Life" thread. That is so wonderful that you were able to get to know your sister! And she's an Eagles fan too. Wow! PEF wine does seem like the perfect thing for such a fantastic occasion!

[Glennsallnighter]

What a perfect way to celebrate such a momentous occasion T&H!

[Thirsty&Hot]

truly!!:thumbsup:

[bluefeather]

sounds perfect:thumbsup:
