Five Star Gift Ideas

For your son who enjoys vintage shopping and thrift store treasure hunting, you can choose a meaningful and personal gift that aligns with his interests. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Vintage Map Wall Art: Look for a vintage map of his favorite city or a place he dreams of visiting. Frame it beautifully to create a unique piece of wall art that reflects his love for vintage aesthetics and travel.

2. Thrift Store Gift Card: Give him the opportunity to explore and discover more treasures by purchasing a gift card to his favorite local thrift store. This way, he can hunt for unique items that catch his eye and add to his collection.

3. Subscription to a Vintage Magazine: A subscription to a vintage-themed magazine, such as "Vintage Life" or "Retro Magazine," can provide him with a regular dose of inspiration, trends, and tips related to vintage shopping and collecting.

4. Vintage Vinyl Record Player: If he doesn't have one already, consider gifting him a vintage-style record player. This will allow him to enjoy the experience of flipping through crates of vinyl records at thrift stores and play his finds at home.

5. Vintage Clothing or Accessory: Surprise him with a unique vintage clothing piece or accessory that suits his style. Look for items like a retro band t-shirt, a bohemian scarf, or a classic leather wallet.

6. DIY Vintage Scrapbook: Create a homemade vintage-themed scrapbook with old photographs, postcards, and mementos found at thrift stores. Add personal touches by including notes, quotes, or memories related to his love for vintage shopping and his experiences with thrift store treasure hunting.

7. Antique Home Decor Piece: Consider gifting him a vintage or antique home decor item that can add charm to his living space. Look for items like an antique clock, a vintage lamp, or an old-world globe.

8. Vintage Camera: If he has an interest in photography, a vintage film camera can be a fantastic gift. Look for a functional and well-preserved camera from the past that he can use to capture memories with a unique touch.

9. Vintage-inspired Book: Find a vintage-inspired coffee table book or novel that showcases the fashion, art, or culture of a specific era he loves. He can enjoy flipping through the pages and gaining inspiration for his thrift store treasure hunting adventures.

10. Experience a Vintage Event Together: Research local vintage markets, fairs, or events happening in your area. Surprise him with tickets to attend one of these events together, where he can explore and discover a plethora of unique vintage items.

Remember, the key is to embrace his love for vintage shopping and treasure hunting by choosing a gift that reflects his personal interests and passions. By doing so, you'll show him that you appreciate and support his unique hobbies.

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.”
