Five Star Gift Ideas

Finding the perfect Christmas gift for your son who has a passion for buying and selling vintage clothing and accessories can be both thoughtful and personalized. Here are a few ideas that might suit his interests:

1. Vintage Fashion Book: Consider gifting him a book about the history of fashion or a specific era he finds intriguing. This can not only serve as a source of inspiration but also provide him with valuable insights into vintage fashion trends.

2. Gift Card to a Thrift Store: Help fuel his passion by giving him a gift card to a local thrift store or vintage shop. This way, he can explore new places and discover unique pieces to add to his collection.

3. Vintage Clothing Subscription Box: There are subscription boxes available that curate and deliver a selection of vintage clothing and accessories to your doorstep. This will provide your son with a regular dose of inspiration and new additions to his collection.

4. Vintage Garment Steamer: A garment steamer can be a practical and convenient tool for your son to keep his vintage pieces in pristine condition. Look for a compact and portable steamer that he can easily use at home or while traveling for vintage-buying excursions.

5. Vintage Clothing Exchange Event: Consider organizing a small gathering or attending an existing vintage clothing exchange event with your son. This way, he can connect with other vintage enthusiasts, swap pieces, and potentially find unique items for his collection.

6. Vintage-Inspired Travel Guide: If your son loves combining his passion for fashion with travel, gift him a vintage-inspired travel guide highlighting destinations known for their vintage fashion scene. You can choose a city that already interests him or surprise him with a new destination to explore.

7. Cleaning and Repair Kit: Vintage clothing often requires special care and attention. Put together a cleaning and repair kit that includes gentle fabric cleansers, stain removers, a sewing kit, and garment brushes. This will help him maintain the quality and longevity of his vintage finds.

8. Vintage Clothing Photography Book: For an artistic touch, consider a coffee table book featuring stunning photography of vintage clothing collections or renowned designers. This can serve as both a source of inspiration and a visually captivating addition to his living space.

Remember, it's not only about the material gift itself but also about showing your support and interest in his passion. If you have the opportunity, spend quality time together exploring vintage shops, attending flea markets, or even collaborating on a unique vintage clothing project.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
