Celebrate your love of old VHS cassettes with this unique design!

This "Bring back our video rental stores" design is for all nostalgics who miss the good old video stores and like to remember them.

This is also a great gift for video fans, people who like watching movies and blockbusters, go to the cinema, and who like vintage or retro designs from the 80s or 90s, for birthday, Father's day, Thanksgiving, anniversary, a film festival, a movie show or a video night with friends.

If you were born in the 90s or before, you probably remember VHS tapes. They never forgot where you left off in the movie you were watching no matter how much time passed. Never forget them, they never forgot you.

Nukie is a South African direct to video science-fiction film that was released in 1987. Largely considered an E.T. knockoff, the plot follows an alien named Nukie, who crash lands on Earth and seeks help from two children to reunite with his brother, Miko, who has been captured by the U.S. government. Nukie is considered one of the worst movies ever made, and had pretty limited distribution, resulting in somewhat of a cult following. An online auction for a graded copy of Nukie sold for $80,600, making it the most expensive VHS tape in history.

Indulge in some video rental nostalgia

If you lived in the greater Northeastern United States in the '80s and '90s, Video King Superstore was most likely your first destination to rent the latest movies on VHS. The first thing you noticed walking into a Video King store was the smell of the complementary hot, buttered popcorn, a favorite of kids accompanying their parents. The rest of the store was pretty standard fare — wall-to-wall videos organized by category, a few toys and collectibles, and eventually, video game rentals. In the early 2000s, as video stores began to buckle under pressure from online video streaming, Video King cut their massive stores in half and dropped 'Superstore' from their name, but this was short-lived, with the chain ultimately closing up for good.

Originally known as Family Video Movie Club, Family Video was a family-owned video rental chain based in Glenview, Illinois that served the United States and Canada through more than 750 retail stores. While competitor's focused on saturating larger cities, Family Video locations were primarily established in rural areas, suburbs, and small-to-midsize cities. After the demise of America's two much larger video rental players, Family Video was the last rental chain in operation. Rather than depending on the revenue-sharing model used by others, the chain bought and owned its movies to keep all the rental profit, and also owned all of their stores, avoiding leasing issues that were largely responsible for taking other chains down.

Young Warriors VHS!!!

Johnny Rose once said that "you miss 100% of the tapes you don't play." That's the quote and slogan featured on this retro membership card for Rose Video. Notice that customers receive free popcorn with every rental. The last four digits in the store's phone number spell ROSE. The member number is a tribute to Moira's Rose's Garden.

Be Kind Rewind

Video stores were always encouraging and reminding customers to rewind their rented VHS tapes, before returning them. One way they could have done that was to convince them that it's actually fun to do so. A sticker stating "We Think You'll Find It's Fun To Rewind" stuck directly onto VHS cassettes, would be a kind reminder to customers without sounding too pushy.

Instead of being kind and rewinding, a little devil taps you on your shoulder and tells you to "be cruel and unspool." Parody of a retro video store sticker.
