Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who has a passion for thrifting and vintage fashion shopping, why not give him a gift that enhances this interest and helps him in his pursuits? Here are a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that he'll surely appreciate:

1. Thrift Store Gift Card: Consider giving him a gift card to a local thrift store or a well-known vintage shop. This way, he can explore the store at his own pace and choose unique pieces that align with his personal style.

2. Vintage Fashion Books: Look for books on vintage fashion, such as "Vintage Fashion: Collecting and Wearing Designer Classics" or "The Vintage Fashion Handbook." These books will not only provide him with a wealth of knowledge on different eras and their distinct styles but also serve as an inspiration for his own fashion choices.

3. Vintage Fashion Magazines: Subscription to well-known vintage fashion magazines like "Vogue" or "Harper's Bazaar" would make a perfect gift. These magazines can keep him up to date with the latest vintage fashion trends, tips, and interviews with industry experts.

4. Retro Vinyl Records: If he also enjoys listening to music, consider gifting him some vinyl records of his favorite artists from the past. Look for albums from his favorite genre or the era he finds most intriguing.

5. DIY Vintage Clothing Kit: Help him unleash his creative side by giving him a DIY vintage clothing kit. This kit could include fabric paints, patches, and vintage-inspired patterns that he can use to transform or customize ordinary clothes into unique and personalized pieces.

6. Vintage Film Camera: If he has an interest in photography, surprise him with a vintage film camera. Explore camera stores or online marketplaces for classic film cameras that are still functioning well. This gift will not only allow him to experiment with capturing moments in a vintage style but also help him explore different photography techniques.

7. Vintage-inspired Jewelry: Look for unique jewelry pieces that embody the charm and nostalgia of the past. From pocket watches to vintage-style rings and charm bracelets, there are numerous options available that cater to a variety of tastes and preferences.

8. Personalized Thrifting Toolkit: Put together a personalized thrifting toolkit for him. Include items such as a magnifying glass, a mini sewing kit, a fabric marker, and a notebook to jot down fashion ideas and inspiration he comes across during his thrifting adventures.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your support for his passion and to encourage him to continue exploring his interests. By selecting a meaningful and personal gift that aligns with his love for thrifting and vintage fashion shopping, you'll make this Christmas truly special for him.

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.”
