Looking for the Perfect Vintage Valentine’s Day Gift?

If you are looking for inspiration for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, take a peek at our latest vintage gift guide.

For the Art Lover:

Whether you’re buying for someone who IS an artist or one who appreciates “arty” vintage accessories, here are a few ideas that are sure to please: A striking signed silkscreen by Jill Gill will add a spot of color to any home. Inspire a budding photographer with a whimsical folk art wire piece. For the romantic, you can’t go wrong with Limoges, hand painted and signed no less.

For the Cook:

Want to buy something special for the valentine who loves to spend time in the kitchen? A gift of a vintage bar set with a bottle of their favorite spirits, a treenware bread board accompanied by your grandma’s recipe for cinnamon rolls, or an elegant brass coffee pot tucked into a coffee-themed basket will remind the chef in your life that you care.

For the Gardener:

Since there’s no guarantee what the weather forecast will be for February 14th, opting for permanent flowers is the best bet. Especially if they’re vintage because they will never outlive their beauty.  A Valentine’s Day gift of an antique Japanese plate in a lotus design, a cheery pair of handmade vintage boho earrings, and two hand-painted Victorian glass tumblers will brighten up any the 14th, even if Mother Nature isn’t cooperative.

For the Traveler:

Still unsure about the thought of travel?  If the odds of getting time away soon are slim, consider a travel-related gift like an exotic Khanga textile panel from Kenya, a sweet set of Japanese Otagiri weed posts or a pair of Damascene floral earrings as a reminder that there will be globe-trotting in the future.  Your Valentine’s Day mantra: Oh the places you’ll go….someday soon.
