Что подарить фанату битлз

Официальный статус праздник получил в 2001 году по решению ЮНЕСКО. Дата выбрана была не случайно. 16 января 1957 года в Ливерпуле открылся клуб The Cavern, где начали свой путь к славе тогда еще никому неизвестные молодые музыканты Джон Леннон, Пол Маккартни и Джордж Харрисон. Спустя пару лет к ним присоединился еще один будущий «битл» — Ринго Старр. Своей музыкой они «порвали» весь мир, став кумирами многих поколений. Есть даже термин «битломания», возникший в 60-е годы. Он описывает состояние сильной, граничащей с сумасшествием любви к группе. Ну, а какая мания без атрибутов? С символикой легендарной четверки можно найти самые любые сувениры, одежду, предметы роскоши и коллекционные вещицы. В честь праздника и редакция портала «Сувенир.Сегмент.Ру». решила что-нибудь выбрать себе. Делимся с вами наиболее редкими или типичными битло-лотами со всемирного Интернет-аукциона Ebay. Цены указаны без стоимости доставки в Россию.

Выпить с The Beatles

Кружки-рюмки-стаканы и прочие питейные инструменты – один из самых популярных сувениров. Ясное дело, что с битлами их великое множество. Вот, например, всего за 2850$ можно приобрести набор рюмок с портретами великолепной четверки. Это очень редкий комплект 1963 года выпуска (производство Star Shine).

Для любителей погонять чаи предлагаем набор очаровательных чашек, выпущенных в 1984 году в Великобритании ограниченным тиражом. Попить из головы Маккартни или Ленона вы можете всего-то за 1000$.

Для кофеманов предлагаем эту развеселую кофейную желтую субмарину. Ее яркие краски точно взбодрят вас с утра не хуже любимого напитка. Цена удовольствия – 30$. Естественно, вы всегда сможете найти куда более бюджетный вариант. В магазинах стандартные сувенирные кружки с «биталами» стоят в среднем от 100 рублей за штуку.

 Все они – марионетки…

Еще один популярный сувенир – всякие фигурки и статуэтки. Ну, кто не получал такие в подарок? Вот вам парочка вариантов, если желаете прикупить что-то этакое со знаменитой группой. За 2000$ вашими станут супер эксклюзивные фарфоровые музыканты, выпущенные в 1987 году.

Следующий лот – набор копилок Beatles Yellow Submarine. Очень редкий экземпляр. Очень скромный тираж сувенирных копилок произвела на свет в 1983 году американская компания Pride Creations. Сзади каждой головы есть отверстие для монет, а внизу фигурки, соответственно, отверстие для извлечения ваших сбережений. Стоит набор 1600$.

Думаю, в этот раздел можно включить и игрушки. За 200$ продается симпатичный набор, состоящий из кукольных музыкантов и желтой подлодки. Игрушка выпущена в 2004 году, так что, не ретро, конечно. Но все равно она очень милая.

 От карандаша до ланч-бокса

Как без канцелярских и всяких бытовых брендированных мелочей? Никак. Так вот, получите – распишитесь. Лот первый – битлокарандаши. Стоят 285$, за что такая цена, не понятно. Сказано лишь, что на каждом из карандашей по портрету одного из музыкантов, указана его дата рождения, прозвище и инструмент, на котором он играл. На ebay можно найти варианты подешевле, made in Сhine за пару-тройку долларов. Также есть много вариантов пеналов, закладок, ручек, тетрадок и прочих канцтоваров.

За 225$ можно купить на работу набор липкой ленты с битлами. Зачем только? Не очень понятно. Но ведь битломания на то и мания, чтобы заставлять людей делать покупательные глупости.

А за 625$ некто из США предлагает купить у него потрепанный жизнью, немного ржавый, но вроде как дико редкий набор для хранения завтрака. В него входит металлический ланчбокс и термос с крышкой-чашкой.

Попадаются порой весьма странные лоты. Например, болты с изображениями музыкантов. Стоят они всего 10$, так что, почему бы и не позакручивать головы культовых музыкантов.

Из стандартного: можно подобрать для себя массу симпатичных брелоков, магнитов, подвесок, значков, футболок и т.д. за смешные деньги.

Когда история – сувенир

Зачастую то, к чему прикасаются известные люди, или что непосредственно связано с их жизнью, превращается в сувенир. Естественно, самый популярный лот тут – винилы и инструменты с автографами музыкантов. Вот, например, самое дорогое, что нашлось на момент написания статьи – бас-гитара Hoffner с автографом Пола Маккартни. Стоит это чудо аж 15 000$.

За 1950$ есть возможность приобрести настоящую историю. Оригинальный экземпляр ливерпульской газеты, которая вышла в 1980 году в день, когда застрелили Джона Ленона.  

Настоящие рекламные плакаты, которые анонсировали концерты легендарной группы и висели на стенах концертных площадок, стоят в районе 1000 – 3000$.
