Antiques are not only considerate gifts for collectors, but they can also surprise and delight someone with an appreciation for all things vintage. To find a present the collector in your life will love, just look in the same places they would. With the festive season upon us, check an antique shop for these items to cross that loved one off your holiday shopping list.

5 Holiday Gift Ideas for People Who Love Antiques

1. Knickknacks

Whether it's a napkin holder, candle taper, or figurine, there will be an antique knickknack for everyone. Think about what the gift receiver likes, such as cats or wine, and look for small objects that fit that theme. Alternatively, find an item that you know they need but haven't purchased yet, such as a bookmark.

2. Vintage Posters & Advertisement Ads

Need a gift for that special person that has everything.  What better way to find a gift than with a vintage advertisement ad from the past.  A poster makes a beautiful gift for someone who is building their gallery wall or has an empty space that could use some sprucing up. There are many styles out there, so no matter your budget, you can find an option that will impress. 

3. Christmas Tree Ornaments

Come in and browse the many new and vintage Christmas tree ornaments we are now offering for the holiday season.  Whether you are thinking about creating a special moment in time or bringing back fond memories of Christmas past, our new and vintage pieces will surely be a beautiful addition to your holiday celebration. 

4. Baskets

Antique baskets come in various sizes, colors, and materials, making them gifts that can suit anyone. Your loved one can use them as reusable carriers for grocery shopping, put blankets in them for a stylish home decor accent, or to bring food and refreshments on a picnic with friends and family.  

5. Maps 

Maps can come to represent a cherished memory with a loved one. For example, if the recipient has moved away from their hometown, a map would be a heartfelt reminder of that place. Or maybe it's a location that you visited together for a birthday, anniversary, or vacation and want a special memento to remember it by. Antique maps are also highly popular with collectors.
