BEST VINTAGE CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEAS

It’s no secret that I love a good vintage find.

So it should come as no surprise that I also love gifting a good vintage find. Let me tell you why. First, having to find the gift is a bit of a treasure hunt, which makes it more fun. Secondly, vintage items make the most unique gifts, which in turn makes your gift feel more personal and not like you just grabbed whatever from a department store. Which brings me to my next point- with unique vintage items you don’t have to worry about double gifting {How embarrassing is it when someone gets the same thing from two different people?!}. And last but not least, thrift store and vintage items are more eco-friendly to gift {no plastic packaging, giving an item another life, not adding to a landfill, etc.}.

I’ve rounded up some vintage items on Etsy that you can shop below. And for those of you shopping at your local thrift shop, I’ve also include a list of some of my favorite vintage Christmas gift ideas or keywords to search.
