And that’s just the start. To enhance your holiday shopping experience, the evening festivities also will include:

• BLACK KEYS LISTENING PARTY. The Black Keys’ highly-anticipated new album El Camino hits the shelves on Tuesday, Dec. 6, and we’ll preview the entire album on the store hi-fi at 8 p.m. Pre-order El Camino on CD or vinyl and take home a Black Keys gift, then pick up the album the next day! Eager beavers can hear a couple of full-song streams (plus a righteous one-man-dancing video) HERE.

• FREE CRAFT BEER FROM PAYETTE BREWING CO. We’ll have a keg of delicious, Boise-brewed craft beer from our new partner Payette Brewing Co., and you’ll get to drink some for free (provided you’re 21 or older and show us a valid I.D.).

• LIVE RADIO REMOTE WITH THE RIVER’S TIM JOHNSTONE. Our friend Tim Johnstone from 94.9 FM The River will be on the air live from The Record Exchange from 6 to 8 p.m.!

• BAD CHRISTMAS SWEATER CONTEST. Start combing the thrift stores and your mother’s closet, because we’re decking our bad selves in bad Christmas sweaters and hope you do, too. Enter the contest and you just might be crowned king or queen of bad Christmas sweaters! Everyone (staff and customers) will cast votes, and the first-, second- and third-place winners will take home bad-ass prizes!

• FOOD TRUCK (TBD)

• GIVEAWAYS

• RAFFLE PRIZES

In addition to housing Boise’s Biggest and Best Gift Shop, this season The Record Exchange has dozens of new indie store exclusives, plus hundreds of new CDs under 10 bucks, including tons of $6.99 and $7.99 titles!

HALLOWEEN AT RECORD EXCHANGE: COME IN COSTUME, SAVE 20% OCT. 28-31!

October 28, 2011 - Gift Shop , The Record Exchange Blog - by - No Comments

Halloween is one of our favorite holidays at The Record Exchange, and for good reason: It’s a fun, funny, light-up, creepy-cute, costume-y affair, and it’s full of candy consumption and free of family baggage.

We want you to help us celebrate. So, if you visit The Record Exchange in costume between Friday, Oct. 28 and Monday, Oct. 31, we’ll give you 20% off* your entire purchase! (*Excludes sale and clearance items.)

QUICK NOTE ON COSTUMES: To get the discount, you have to show up in an actual costume — none of this wearing a Rush T-shirt and saying, “Dude, I’m dressed up like a Rush fan.”

Our love of Halloween is most apparent in The Record Exchange Gift Shop, which we not only decorate for the season but stock full of all sorts of fun, funny, light-up, creepy-cute, costume-y treasures to help you be truly you-nique this year.

Our Halloween display features ornaments, decorations, candy jars, trick-or-treat bags, candles (they’re fingers!), zomby jerky, Pumpkin Patch Orange-flavored Pop Rocks and the return of last season’s popular inflatable headwear (including the Beehive, Rasta Hat/Dreads and Robot Head) and the return of the Chicken Head!

One of our favorite new arrivals is a Halloween T-shirt from the fine folks at True Vintage Designs, purveyors of the finest T-shirts featuring images taken from authentic vintage designs. Created from an amazing circa-1960 trick-or-treat candy bag, this American Apparel shirt features a witch, bat, haunted house and two brilliantly designed kids (one is a pumpkin, the other a pirate).

Other new Halloween apparel arrivals include a rockin’-out zomby shirt (pictured), plus shirts from popular horror flicks such as Friday the 13th and Night of the Living Dead.

Choose from an aluminum-dipped pint glass, freezer mug, coffee mug or shot glass. What you fill them with is up to you, but make it a winner!
