This holiday season, consider giving vintage! Fashion items, including everything from accessories like jewelry, handbags, and neckties, to more practical, cold-weather items like scarves, gloves, and cozy sweaters, are “traditional” holiday gifts. The vintage versions are often of better quality and more unique than their modern counterparts. Bonus: giving vintage gifts is greener, too! This week, members share their suggestions for inspired gift-giving this holiday season. We think you’ll find fabulous ideas for almost everyone on your list—and maybe even a “gift” for yourself!
