Accordion or Guitar?

So there are two birthday cards I’m trying to decide between for my brother-in-law’s birthday. One (in the picture) is an accordion in card form that plays Happy Birthday as you open and close it like you’re playing it. The other card is smaller, of a guitar, and you play Smoke on the Water by strumming the card. He used to play the guitar, but then the accordion is more unusual. Which one do you think he’d prefer? Which one would you like more?

That's a good question. The accordion is very different. I'd like the guitar more probably, and sounds like one I'd give to my husband

@AmbiePam Well if they like unique things, then I would definitely say go for that one!

@MommyOfEli2013 I should probably ask myself, which one would my brother-in-law use most to drive my sister nuts?![](/Content/images/emotes/lol.gif)

I think I would go with the guitar card. My brother in law has an April birthday also. He and my sis are so cute, whenever I give them something they either wear what I have given them or in his case, he brought the personalized mug I gave him to drink coffee out of when I saw them at Christmas. I am glad he likes it, it wasn;t cheap...
I was thinking of going up there for the eclipse, but with this ginormous insurance bill think I will wait until this summer. If you could afford it, you could give the accordion for another gift giving occassion.

@AmbiePam Yes, that's a thought. I love the guitar card, and the accordion card is unique too.

I think the first one is a bit more simple and a little more unique. However, you know him better than us. Appeal to his love. Although, I think he'd be happy with either or. So long as it's from you.

I say go with the guitar card since he used to play guitar. I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it

I am going to go with the guitar, although I am glad you shared a picture of the accordion. I said "guitar" because it is a non seasonal song. He can play it more often.

Your brother would like either one; but I would choose the Happy Birthday and the accordion. Have a good weekend.

Hmm, if he is familiar with Deep Purple that would be the one. If not, maybe unusual is better.
Personally, since I'm familiar with the group and playing a song is pretty cool vs just Happy Birthday, I would choose that one.

My instrument was the piano and since the accordion has a keyboard I would go with the accordion,

I like the accordion idea for your brother in law better since music will attract him a lot better than the other card.

I am sure which ever one you choose he will love it. I would like the accordian one because it is different.
