They sell a variety of energy-efficient LED bulbs; the traditional & practical and what I like to call the ‘fancy’ bulbs. Beautiful ones shaped like candle flames, have a decorative filament or are super-sized… like little works of art in themselves!

Another thing that has really caught our eye on their website is their Lieber range of copper sockets & switches – we have a real soft spot for this warm and flexible metallic being used in interior decoration.

The best vintage-inspired gifts for the home

'The best vintage inspired gifts for the home' blog post banner

Vintage homewares for sale by H is for Home

If you’ve been invited to a party or other kind of event which requires the giving of gifts, and you’re short of ideas and don’t know how to amaze people who’ve probably seen and got everything, then we can recommend where to look for the coolest and best vintage-inspired gifts which will create unique atmosphere and sentimental value in every home.

You can visit your local antique, second-hand and charity shops or shop at bigger retail chain stores. Here’s a list of ideas for gifts that can be unique and vintage.

Furniture

What home has no furniture? For new home-owners or for people who like to collect unique items, consider a house-warming gift of a great piece of furniture; let your budget and their need be your guide. It could be anything from a full living room set to a single, statement chair. Just ensure that the item you give doesn’t require a lot of renovation (unless you know that this is their forte!). If not, your well-meaning present could become a a time-consuming and expensive project. But, if your friend loves to bring new live to items like that, than it makes the ideal gift!

Posters

If a birthday boy or girl or newly-wed couple loves vintage, you can consider buying & framing a vintage-inspired or genuine vintage poster. Think vintage ads and travel, film or art exhibition posters. Something to do with their favourite film, artist or reminds them of that favourite they visited on holiday. Give them something that will demonstrate that it was chosen with thought and love.

Dishes

For the kitchen & dining room, don’t be afraid to give vintage fine china dishes or simple metal rustic set. It might not be used by how they suppose to be, but it can be just a décor element too. Or if you want future owners to use it, then consider buying a better quality full set of such dishes and gift it wrapped in some nice box. But be careful, this kind of gift can sometimes be expensive and just a bit fragile. So keep a good eye of items you are going to buy and maybe even invest a little bit more too. It will definitely bring some old memories back and create some nostalgia as well.

Bedding

Bedding should be only vintage-inspired because it is rare to find authentic items in mint or excellent condition. So just search for some nice and classic beddings for a bedroom and create cosy atmosphere there. You can also add some decorative pillows or throw cushions and help your friends to create a new type of bedroom easily. But if you manage to find genuine vintage and great quality bedding, then it can make the most amazing gift ever!

So that’s it; this short list that we’ve given you is definitely not exhaustive. Share some other ideas what specific items are good gifts for vintage lovers and let’s get inspired while shopping. Gift some nostalgia and memories of good old times and be confident that your gift is unique and one of a kind.

Webwise shopping

Made.com sofa and rugMADE.com

Online shopping continues to boom. The home & garden sector is one of the biggest growth areas. Furniture, lighting, soft furnishings, textiles, kitchen & dining ware all lend themselves perfectly to the web shopping experience.

The vast majority of people don’t employ an interior designer, but they have their own ideas, creative flair and preferences. People want their home to look unique, to stand out from the crowd, to have personality. The web enables you to create an interior that’s perfect for you.

Some people love the ‘brand new’ for their homes, some love the aged character of antique, some love both. Even keen vintage fans don’t tend to fill their home exclusively with vintage homewares. They might also like the look or practicality of a brand new piece, the products of a specific new designer, a company’s ethos, a modern twist on an old classic… and so on.

Also, many people like to mix old with new – an eclectic look that has timeless style… a look that is here to stay.
