Some tips for making gift shopping and gift giving a memorable experience:
1. Shop vintage. You’ll find unusual and one-of-a-kind options with personality and style. You’ll never have to worry about duplicate gifts.
2. Be particular. Consider whether that vintage patina makes the gift more valuable. If not, look for items in near-perfect condition. They exist!
3. If it’s just right, grab it! Vintage items often are one-of-a-kind or hard to find. If it’s the perfect gift, don’t wait too long to act or someone might get it before you.
4. Shop local. You can get great vintage items online, but a local store can offer personal service. Plus, knowledgeable store owners can give you the back story on an item — an added bonus when you present your distinctive gift.
