Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who is passionate about vintage clothing collecting and styling, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that you can consider this Christmas.

1. Vintage Clothing Subscription: Consider gifting your son a subscription to a vintage clothing service. This way, he can receive a curated selection of unique and one-of-a-kind pieces delivered directly to his doorstep. It will allow him to expand his collection and discover new styles and eras that align with his interests.

2. Vintage Clothing Books: Look for books that explore the history and evolution of fashion, specifically focusing on vintage clothing. Books like "Vintage Fashion: Collecting and Wearing Designer Classics" by Emma Baxter-Wright or "Cutting Edge: Fashion from the Sunny Side of Life" by Daniele Bott will not only inspire your son but also provide him with valuable knowledge about vintage fashion.

3. Vintage Clothing Restoration Kit: If your son enjoys the process of restoring vintage clothing, consider putting together a restoration kit for him. Include items such as a sewing kit with various threads and needles, fabric glue, stain removers, fabric scissors, and a lint roller. This thoughtful gift will show that you support his hobby while also providing him with the tools he needs to bring damaged vintage pieces back to life.

4. Vintage Clothing Store Gift Card: Find out if there are any local vintage clothing stores or online platforms that your son frequently shops at. Getting him a gift card to one of these stores will allow him to choose the exact pieces he wants and add them to his collection. It also offers the opportunity for exploring new stores and discovering new treasures.

5. Vintage Clothing Accessories: Consider gifting your son vintage accessories that will complement his clothing collection. These can include items such as a vintage watch, cufflinks, a tie pin, old-school sunglasses, or a retro-inspired handbag. These accessories can help enhance his overall vintage styling and are perfect for adding a unique touch to any outfit.

6. Vintage Clothing Exhibition or Workshop Tickets: Check if there are any local exhibitions or workshops focused on vintage fashion or clothing history. Gifting your son tickets to such an event will allow him to immerse himself in his passion, gain new insights, and connect with like-minded individuals. It's a great opportunity for him to learn from experts in the field and further expand his knowledge and love for vintage clothing.

Remember, the most important aspect of giving a meaningful and personal gift is to show that you have taken the time to understand and appreciate your son's interests and hobbies. By choosing a gift that aligns with his passion for vintage clothing collecting and styling, you are not only giving him something he will cherish, but also showing your support for his unique interests.

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.”
