Partner
Picking out the perfect partner present can be challenging. You want to get them something that really shows how much you care, and the individual nature of vintage gifts is a great way to find that special piece.
Check out a few of our favorite vintage gifts for significant others:
Lingerie and Loungewear
There’s something truly beautiful and personal about the intimate styles of eras past. Explore an expansive collection of lingerie.
If lingerie isn’t their vibe, then check out robes, kimonos, and other comfortable loungewear for those cozy days spent at home with the person you love. Not only are these great for sipping coffee on the patio, but they can even be dressed up for a night on the town.
Jewelry
One really easy way to take any outfit to the next level is with a piece of unique and stand-out jewelry, and vintage is the way to go every time. Consider your partner’s style and what they already have plenty of. Vintage jewelry is a great way to add an unexpected pop of color or texture to a modern outfit.
Date Night Outfit
Are you planning a special night out with your partner? Add a little something extra to the celebration with a beautiful new dress or shiny pair of Oxford shoes. Find the perfect look for whatever the night might bring.
Don’t forget to capture the memories in a cute and creative photoshoot. Tie in a little nostalgia with a Polaroid camera and hang the shots on your wall.
Parents and Caregivers
Parents and caregivers can be tough to shop for, but vintage pieces will show you’ve really taken the time to find something you know they’re going to love.
Read on for a few of our top picks when it comes to finding that perfect vintage gift for those who have cared for you.
Watches
Watches are elegant, chic, and stylish, and with so many eras of watch design and style to pick from, you’re sure to find the perfect piece. They can be small and subtle, or all about the classic comic book vibes. You know what they are going to love, and you’re sure to find the perfect watch to fit their favorite styles.
Ties and Scarves
Vintage ties and scarves can add that little something extra to any outfit. Whether they love driving the coast, watching classic movies, or sipping cocktails at swanky hotel bars, vintage ties and scarves can be the accessory that makes them stand out and get that chic and creative look every time.
Briefcases and Backpacks
Help them plan their next adventure or give the morning commute a boost with beautiful vintage backpacks and briefcases.
