Vintage and Retro-Inspired Gifts

25+ Vintage-Inspired Gifts For Your Retro-Loving Friend

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

If you have a friend or family member who loves the vintage look, she'll love these gorgeous retro-inspired gifts. You might not be comfortable scouring charity shops and vintage stores for presents, but you can still treat your friend to things that fit her style. There are plenty of vintage-inspired items on the high street if you know where to look, and if you have a little more to spend, designers like Alice Temperley and Lulu Guinness consistently look to the past for inspiration. Lingerie, hosiery, and jewellery are always safe bets for fans of the '30s, '40s, and '50s, but we've also found books, shoes, and home accessories for the burlesque dancer-in-training. Read through for a little retro inspiration, and treat the vintage fan in your life to something luxurious this Christmas!
