Gift giving is one of the most thoughtful acts a person can do—especially if it’s done right. Choosing a vintage piece ups the ante, as it allows you to source a one-of-a-kind item just for the recipient. Whether you pony up for vintage jewels and designer items or find the right old-school album or book; search through thrift stores or go straight to the dealers on 1stDibs, there’s a perfect throwback present for everyone on your list.
