A great way to present someone with a very thoughtful gift is to give them an oldies music CD performed by their favorite artists from days gone by. One person's definition of an oldies music CD may be different from another's, depending on the period during which they grew up, or what kind of music they like. These oldies music CD's can be found online, as well as stores that sell a wide range of musical styles.
To me, an oldies music CD would be the big band era and the music from '50's, while to my kids, it would be music from the '60's and '70's. Some of the oldies music CD artists are still being played on current radio stations as contemporary music, and is not really considered oldies music. Some of the artists like the Beatles, Bruce Springstein, and the Rolling Stones are still listened to as classic rock, and for good reason. The quality of their music is top notch, and their styles changed the way we write and perform popular music today.
