1. Ticket Stub Diary: For the Concert Regular
Anyone who goes to a lot of shows ends up with ticket stubs in a drawer or a coat pocket. Eric Epstein’s Ticket Stub Diary gives music event tickets a home. It has 52 pages with sleeves sized for different tickets, plus lined margins for jotting down who played, who you went with, and what the music encore was.
The pages are acid-free, so the ticket stubs should hold up over time, and the spiral binding keeps it flat while you write. At roughly 7.1 × 8 inches, it’s the biggest thing on this list besides the vinyl coasters, so expect it to poke out of the top of the stocking.
