We've said it before, but our top tip is to support your local record store, as they're a vital part of our ecosystem. Pro-tip: use the Record Store Finder on your local Record Store Day site to locate a store near you to find that record for your friend or family member. Also, keep in mind—because we can all do with a little less: you can find great deals on platforms like eBay, Marktplaats, and other second-hand sites, as most of these listed products are built to last. Just like our beloved records.
