Gifts for the Vintage Christmas Lover

There’s just something about Christmases past that feels a little more magical.

Maybe it’s the glow of colorful lights reflecting off shiny glass ornaments, a collection of bottle brush trees on the mantel, the familiar face of a rosy-cheeked Santa, or decorations that instantly transport you back to Christmas morning at your grandparents’ house. Vintage Christmas has a way of bringing back memories—even when the pieces themselves are brand new.

For the Vintage Christmas Lover is a collection inspired by that nostalgia. Here you’ll find gifts that capture the charm, color and whimsy of holidays gone by—from retro-inspired ornaments and classic Christmas décor to nostalgic books, collectibles, wrapping and other treasures that look like they could have been pulled straight from a Christmas decades ago.

Some pieces are inspired by the colorful mid-century Christmases of the 1950s and ’60s. Others might remind you of the wonderfully over-the-top Christmases of the ’80s and ’90s. And some simply have that timeless quality that makes them feel as though they’ve always been part of the season.

Because vintage Christmas isn't necessarily about how old something is. It's about how it makes you feel.

Whether you're shopping for someone who collects Christmas treasures from years gone by or you're trying to recreate a little of the Christmas magic you remember from childhood, I hope these finds bring back wonderful memories—and perhaps become part of some new traditions, too.

And as you browse, keep an eye out for the Tinsel Approved seal. Those are the nostalgic finds that have earned an extra-special stamp of approval from Static & Tinsel.

Here’s to colorful lights, shiny ornaments, Christmas nostalgia and keeping a little bit of the magic of Christmases past alive.
