Vintage Holiday Gift Guide
Think of this more like a mood board than a gift guide
My family does something a little unique, and that is that we gift vintage and found items for holidays/birthdays. Yes, we do buy some things new but we try to gift vintage as much as we can. Gifting vintage items is really personal, it takes a lot of time and effort to find those perfect peices for your loved one. This is more like a moodboard because there are no links to things you can go buy, but rather a mood board of ideas for vintage hunting. vintage items perfect for gifting:
primitive wood bowls of any size
beautiful vintage quilts
jewelry boxes
My parents bought me a vintage italian jewelry box for my birthday and I love it so much!
Vases. Think marble, brass, painted.
brass candle holders (you can never have too many!
cocktail glasses
brass figurines
colorful china for serving or decor
gold lockets
crocks/jugs
earrings
stoneware bowls
Or handmade pottery! Think the items we made in school and later ended up at a thrift store. Those are fun pieces to have/gift!
My favorite places to shop for vintage:
Antique stores
They've done the work for you and have found all the goods and put them in one spot!
Thrift Stores:
Arcs value village
Savers
Goodwill
eBay (if you are looking for something specific, this is a good place to start)
