A boombox turned up so far that the sound flies off both sides as confetti.

Call it a nostalgia sticker with the volume knob maxed: Golden Era Vibes sets a retro boombox dead center, a tape in its door and three arched words around it. It suits anyone who wore out a favorite cassette and wound it back with a pencil, and it is an easy gift for a mixtape friend.

The design: a level boombox in a spray of dashes

The boombox faces you straight on, with a light-blue body traced in a thin dark line. A pink carry handle rests on two white posts above it, and a row of small pink, blue and yellow buttons runs under the handle. Below them, a cream tuner panel ruled with fine lines sits over a yellow strip of small controls, with a small round speaker in each upper corner.

Two big round speakers, dark with yellow-and-pink centers, take up most of the front. Between them is a yellow cassette door with a tape inside, its two dark reels showing above a row of fine tick marks, and four yellow buttons sit on a tab along the bottom edge. Tiny yellow screw dots mark the corners, and a flat black shadow anchors the whole machine.

The words Golden Era Vibes are split in two: the first two arch over the top in fat, rounded mustard-yellow capitals above a thin yellow arc, and the third curves gently along the bottom. Short dashes and small ovals in yellow, light blue and pink burst from both sides like sound made visible, and two tiny four-point sparkles sit by the handle. It is flat cartoon work with clean outlines and no background color, the sort of drawing that sends you back to whichever summer your own tapes came from.

A nostalgia sticker that keeps the boombox's outline

• Kiss-cut to the outline of the words and the boombox, with a white border that follows each curve
• Opaque vinyl that keeps an older decal or a dab of paint out of view
• Application is quick and comes out bubble-free
• Durable adhesive vinyl for everyday sticking
• Dust and fingerprints off first, sticker on second

Who it's for

People who still keep a shoebox of tapes, parents explaining rewind to their kids, and collectors of old audio gear. It has no assigned spot; think laptop lid, record crate, notebook or the side of a desk speaker. Send it along with birthday wishes, with thanks to whoever shares playlists with you, or in a parcel for someone setting up a first apartment.

Quick answers

Once peeled, how big is the boombox sticker?

The outline is nearly square, so its widest side comes to about 3″, 4″ or 5½″ on the three square options. On the 15″×3.75″ option one sticker is printed, about 3¾″ (9.5 cm) at its largest side.

Which years does Golden Era Vibes mean?

Yours. Everyone has a stretch when the songs on the radio felt like they were written for them, and the boombox stands for that stretch, whichever years it covered.

Is it made for outdoor use?

This vinyl is durable and made with regular use in mind, and that is as far as the promise goes. No rain or sun rating is stated, so outdoor use is not something we promise.
