Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who loves vintage fashion collecting and styling, there are several thoughtful and meaningful gift options that will surely make his Christmas special. Here are some ideas to consider:

1. Vintage Clothing: The perfect gift for a vintage fashion enthusiast is, of course, vintage clothing! Research local vintage stores or online platforms that specialize in vintage fashion and find a unique piece that suits his style. It could be a funky retro t-shirt, a classic leather jacket, or a well-preserved vintage suit. The key is to find something that resonates with his personal taste and adds a touch of nostalgia to his wardrobe.

2. Fashion Books: A great gift idea for your son could be a collection of fashion books that focus on vintage styles, designers, or fashion history. Look for beautifully illustrated coffee table books or educational fashion books that delve into different eras and their signature styles. This will not only inspire him but also deepen his knowledge and appreciation for vintage fashion.

3. Subscription to a Vintage Fashion Magazine: To keep your son updated with the latest trends and happenings in the vintage fashion world, consider gifting him a subscription to a vintage fashion magazine. There are several print and online magazines dedicated to vintage fashion that provide insights into styling tips, latest finds, and interviews with collectors and experts. This subscription will keep him engaged and inspired throughout the year.

4. Vintage Accessories: Accessories play a crucial role in completing any vintage fashion look. Consider gifting your son some vintage accessories, such as pocket watches, cufflinks, bowties, suspenders, or antique brooches. These unique and one-of-a-kind items will not only enhance his outfits but also serve as conversation starters.

5. Vintage Vinyl Records: If your son also enjoys music from different eras, surprise him with a collection of vintage vinyl records. Find out his favorite artists or genres, and search for vinyl records from that time period. The experience of listening to music on vinyl is unique and nostalgic, and it perfectly complements the vintage fashion aesthetic.

6. Fashion Illustration Classes: If your son has an artistic side and loves vintage fashion, consider enrolling him in a fashion illustration class. This will allow him to express his creativity, learn new techniques, and develop his own style of illustrating vintage fashion. Look for local art schools or online courses that offer classes in fashion illustration.

Remember, the best gift is always the one that shows you understand your loved one's interests and passions. By choosing a meaningful and personal gift related to your son's love for vintage fashion collecting and styling, you will not only make his Christmas special but also demonstrate your thoughtfulness and admiration for his unique taste.

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.”
