Everyone knows that person. You know the one. The relative or friend who buys themselves the latest trend gadget or perfectly-them sweater a week before Christmas, and you are left scrambling to find the gift receipt.
Our answer to that tricky loved one (and anyone else you want a special gift for) is the Dressing Vintage Gift Guide! When you get someone a vintage Christmas present, you are not only supporting ethical small business, you are giving a quality, unique, one-of-a-kind, perfectly thoughtful present.
Vintage Gifts for Her
Buying vintage online can be tricky, especially as a gift for someone else. What you really need are the bust, waist, and hip measurements (and often other various other lengths and widths, depending on the garment) in order to ensure the perfect fit.
Those measurements can be very hard to procure without your loved ones becoming very suspicious (or downright alarmed).
Fortunately, accessories are (for the most part) one size fits all, and fit most budgets. Most accessories are under $100, and a lot these exquisite gifts are under $50! That's why our vintage holiday gift guide comes from our large assortment of vintage accessories!
Vintage Jewelry
Vintage necklaces with precious metals or gemstones make an incredible gift for women of all ages. A vintage choker is the perfect special gift for a teenage girl or girl in her 20's, and 1920's Deco necklaces are fun and unique pieces for women with fun, retro taste. Gold and silver are classic choices for women of all ages.

Vintage Scarves
From novelty scarves to designer silk, there is a vintage scarf for everyone on your gift list. I love scarves because of their versatility. They can be knotted around the neck, worn loosely on the shoulders, tied like a headband, tied on a purse strap, or framed to admire like a piece of art.
