Christmas Gift Guide: Finding the Right Antique Gifts for Your Loved Ones

Are you looking for antique gifts for your loved ones but you don’t know where to start? Well, if that is the case, you’ve come to the right place. 

Antique lovers know their style. With unique curated collections all around their homes, they know exactly what they want, and never steer away from their taste. So naturally, it’s tough to guess what they’d like. This is why finding gifts for antique lovers is a challenging task. But we’re here to help ease your struggle. 

From bigger purchases to smaller, more thoughtful finds, we’ve compiled a list of ideas to help make your holiday shopping experience a good one.

Accessories

Antique collectors love following a certain theme. Odds are they’ve probably spoken about it to you, or you’ve formed the connection in your mind when visiting for dinner parties or gatherings. If you haven’t, now’s your time to give their home a good sweep. 

Once you’ve figured out what their theme is, you can find a nice accessory piece to add to their collection. Whether they’re into antique typewriters for their study or elegant candleholders for the dining room, no matter what you get, you’d have found the right piece for them. 

The fun in gifting antique accessories to your loved one is the story that comes with it. Antiques have their value because of the narratives they hold, and the history and traditions that precede them. 

Here are some accessories that would make for extraordinary gifts this Christmas.

- An antique piece of fashion accessories, such as earrings or a hairpin, or even cufflinks and buttons for someone who likes clothes.

- Unique ornaments and keepsake boxes for those who love spreading the Christmas spirit and making memories.

- Antique wine glasses or silverware for those who love collecting kitchenware. 

- Old maps, unique books, or an easel for that artistic and intellectual friend.

- Antique paperweight or letter opener for those who love historical finds.

Home Decor

We all have that one friend or family member who is always redecorating and adding fun pieces to spruce up their homes. Home decor gifts are great for your design-oriented pals or loved ones. No matter what type of home decor theme they have going on, you will always find antique decor pieces to add to their aesthetic.

For Modern Homes

If their home has a neutral color palette with minimalistic designs, adding antique accent pieces to their living room can brighten it up and add a lot of personality to the room. For instance, adding in a colorful antique blanket or some throw pillows to the couch can make that area of the room stand out.

For Traditional Homes

The best thing about traditional homes is that kitchen is considered the heart of the home. Steeped with warmth, togetherness, and memories, the kitchen is the perfect place to add antique finds. If your friend or family member needs more storage place, getting them an antique kitchen cabinet is a great Christmas gift. If they’re tea lovers, then getting them an antique teapot is another great Christmas gift. The options are endless.

If you’re looking to gift something that is a little bigger, such as antique furniture, we’ve got that covered too. 

Antique Furniture

If you’re looking to create a big impact with your loved one’s home decor, you can’t go wrong with antique furniture pieces. Hand-painted chests, wood-carved coffee tables, armchairs, or statement sofas are a great way to build charisma around an entire room. Tall mirrors and lamps are also great options if you’re going for big-but-not-too-big gift ideas.
