This holiday season, we’re looking at gifts from another angle. Instead of looking at personalities or hobbies, we’re thinking about favorite colors and using that as a springboard towards unexpected, creative gift giving. Today, brown gifts for those who love brown.
Mother Nature is a fan of brown. That’s because it’s an earthy and grounding, reliable and nurturing color. It’s a serious color, like black, not flippant like a that sprightly will-o-wisp yellow, but at the end of a long day, it’s a color you can wrap yourself in and feel warm and at ease. People whose favorite color is brown tend to be grounded, sincere and kind. They are trustworthy and dependable. They are quietly confident. They can be the rock in your life.
The December holiday season brings with it a bounty of things that are brown.
What kind of brown gifts would a practical and down-to-earth brown lover enjoy? We have some ideas.
For the individualist in your life, a carved wooden folk art wall box ($95) might delight them. Its beautiful, its functional and there isn’t another one just like it in the world. Rhinestone scatter brooches ($21.95) are always popular and can be hard to find in autumn colors. That naturalist brown lover would appreciate both the rusticness and delicateness of the fawn on wood Christmas greeting ($33.99), made thin so it could have been mailed back in the day. And the person who lives at the intersection of liking brown and mid-century would be surprised by the 1960s tawny caramel-colored Arabia Fructure chop plate ($135).
These are just a few brown gifts from the shops of Vintage Unscripted to ignite your creative juices. (Speaking of juices, we should have added gravy to the holiday list of things that are brown because it is brown and it is also delicious.) Of course, our shops have lots of other colorful picks, curated to make you or anyone on your gift list merry this season and all the year through.
