Five Star Gift Ideas

For your daughter who loves vintage fashion collecting and styling, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider. These suggestions will not only complement her interests but also reflect the thought and effort you put into choosing a gift:

1. Vintage Clothing or Accessories: Search for unique pieces in vintage stores or online marketplaces that align with her personal style and interests. Look for iconic fashion items from different eras, such as a 1950s suede jacket or a 1960s beaded handbag. Alternatively, you could give her a gift certificate to a vintage store so she can handpick her own treasures.

2. Fashion Books: Explore books that delve into the history and evolution of fashion, focusing on different eras and iconic designers. Books like "The Little Dictionary of Fashion" by Christian Dior or "Vintage Fashion: Collecting and Wearing Designer Classics" by Emma Baxter Wright can provide her with inspiration and information about vintage fashion.

3. Styling Tools and Accessories: Help her take her fashion styling to the next level by gifting her with some essential tools. Consider a vintage-inspired sewing machine, a dress form mannequin, or a set of vintage-inspired hair accessories like a retro hairdryer or a classic hairbrush. These items will enhance her creativity and allow her to experiment with different looks.

4. Fashion Photography or Artwork: If she has an appreciation for art, consider giving her a vintage fashion photograph or artwork. Look for prints that showcase iconic fashion moments or fashion illustrations from different eras. You can find these online or visit local art galleries to discover unique pieces.

5. Subscription to a Vintage Fashion Magazine: Give her the gift of inspiration all year round by subscribing her to a vintage fashion magazine. There are several publications dedicated to vintage fashion that can provide her with ideas, trends, and styling tips from different eras.

6. Vintage-inspired Jewelry: Look for vintage-inspired jewelry pieces that draw inspiration from specific eras. Consider a statement necklace from the Art Nouveau period or a pair of art deco earrings. These timeless pieces will not only complement her vintage style but can also become cherished heirlooms.

7. Personalized Vintage Fashion Sketch: Commission a vintage fashion sketch that portrays your daughter in her favorite vintage-inspired outfit. This personalized artwork will be a unique and sentimental gift that she can frame and treasure.

Remember, regardless of the gift you choose, include a heartfelt note expressing your love and support for her passion. Your daughter will appreciate the effort you put into finding a meaningful and personal gift that reflects her love for vintage fashion.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

Luann Skinner says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“I ordered the star map 8 days before my daughter's birthday. It arrived in 7 days just in time for her birthday. Thank you! She loved the star map.”
