By: Tessa Swantek
You either are one or you know one, the vintage lover. That person who gets lost in a consignment shop looking for that one-of-a-kind piece to reflect their own personal style. What better way to show you care than to give a unique gift that will thrill them right down to the very tips of their Manolo Blahniks? There’s also no shame in splurging on yourself, too, if you find yourself in the holiday spirit (we all deserve a little something after this year, right?). So, whether shopping for yourself or someone else, we have curated a gift guide of 5 vintage or vintage-inspired items to shop now!
Vintage Vogue Magazine Cover Wall Art
Some things never go out of style, while others just are style. For the fashion lover, Vogue magazine covers are iconic and adorn the walls of many bedrooms and offices to add a chic touch. There are over 100 years worth of beautiful covers to make this gift an annual collectible to create a dream gallery wall.

Vintage Record Player
When the weather outside is frightful, there’s nothing more delightful than getting cozy and giving those holiday classics a spin on this rose gold record player. We especially love the floral inlay of the convenient carrying case. To personalize this gift, you can pick vinyls of favorite artists and start or add to a collection.

Polaroid Camera
Speaking of selfies, how cute is this gem from Fujifilm? It’s the picture of style whether in the hand, on the shoulder, or placed decoratively on a shelf. Capture all those holiday moments and enjoy them right away with this gift.
Fujifilm Instax Wide 300 Instant Camera, $130; UrbanOutfitters.com
Designer Baubles
The Farfetch designer archives are one of our favorite places to shop for pieces of luxury and fine craftsmanship that are elegant in any era. Even better, a piercing isn’t even necessary for these classic clip-ons. Earrings have always been known to be a great gift, but these certainly add a more sophisticated edge.
