The Didi Disc is a novelty gift item that comes in the form of a 5" vinyl record/single often spray painted or has a multi-step electroplating process to look like gold/silver or platinum discs awarded to musical artists that have sold a significant amount of records. In addition to the recording industries recognized disc awards, Didi Discs can come in various colors according to customer preference and will be usually accompanied with a personalized commemorative plaque marking an anniversary, birthday or other significant nostalgic event. The actual record that is presented with the label and song as the gift will very rarely be the actual recording but more likely to be a discontinued/deleted pressing acquired in bulk for the sole purpose of modifying and up cycling to meet the novelty gift market. The term Didi remains ambiguous as very little information is available regarding its origins but is universally used to describe the format of the product
