Better Than Your Average Gift Guide Pt. 2

Second hand, small business and new!

Hey Gabbers!! Welcome back to another holiday gift guide. I hope this one inspires you! We’ve got a mix of new and old in here, as well as general ideas on what you can give the people you love deeply. I hope you enjoy!

let’s f*cking gab

1. Beaded Shoulder Bag, eBay $15 — If you’re on a budget, but still want to give someone a gift they’ll use and love, I highly recommend the depths of second hand bags. 15 bucks can get you this cute little sparkly bag!

2. "Worst Person in the World" Poster, eBay, $106 — If you’re shopping for a movie or music lover, search their favorites on eBay and buy them an original poster. They might cry tears of joy upon opening.

3. Vintage Kate Spade Mug, eBay, $18 — I received a vintage Kate Spade mug from a friend for my 18th birthday and it is my favorite thing to drink out of. There are so many on eBay. How cute is this one!?

   

4. Taylor Striped Cardigan in Cotton Cashmere, Alex Mill, $175 — This recommendation is brought to you by

   Erika Veurink
   . I saw her talk about this cardigan and immediately added it to my own wishlist. The black and cream stripe is going to be a staple.

5. Edith Bag Charms, Arielle Kellog, $70 — Bag charms are all the rage, but these ones from Arielle Kellog are the only ones I’ve ever considered purchasing myself. They’re so unique!

6. Jo Shirt In Cotton Poplin, Alex Mill, $145 — This feels a little random for this list, but if you have the budget, a nice button down that someone can wear on special occasions, or just any day really, is really special.

7. All Fours, Thrift Books, $21 — “All Fours” doesn’t have to be the book you gift (although it is my favorite book of the year this far, newsletter on that to come), but a book that you have read that you think your recipient would also enjoy is the most thoughtful gift I can think of. Add in a little inscription for extra points.

8. Vintage Timex Watch, eBay $25 — I’ve been growing my watch collection this year and am frequently on the prowl for them on eBay. Watches can be scary things to buy because of their hefty price tag, but tiny women’s watches go for cheap and are adorable.

9. Sterling Silver Modernist Earrings, eBay, $17 — Gifting jewelry can be tricky, but I think if you go the route of vintage and completely unique you’re golden. Key search terms I use to find cool pieces on eBay are: 925 sterling silver modernist and geometric.

10. "We Are The Centerpiece" Print, Momo Gordon, $25 — I recommended a Momo Gordon print in last years gift guide and I’m doing it again because they are the most beautiful prints for that price point.

This is mine. It took me over a year to decide on a frame for it, and it’s perfect.
