I know we are five minutes past Halloween, but I just LOVE Christmas and all things holiday. I restrain myself from putting up all our holiday decorations and the tree until the day after Thanksgiving (our family tradition) but once November hits, I get holiday shopping on my mind. I’ll share with you some of my faves that would be perfect for any retro lover on your list, or for you to sneak on your own wish list! I have so much to share, so this is part one of a two-part post series. If you are anxious for more, check out my midcentury Christmas idea list here.
Retro stone coasters
I was lucky enough to actually be gifted these myself last year and just adore them. These are super high quality, stone coasters, made by CoasterStone. They have cork on the back and keep your wood surfaces safe. We keep these in our living room and are a perfect blend of style and function!
Eames house bird decoration
This Eames house bird replica will add the perfect touch of color to any midcentury-lover’s home. And the best part is, you can even get it in yellow, white or red. Yes, you can buy these elsewhere for a MUCH higher price, but this is a budget-friendly, quality bird at under $25.
Artificial fiddle leaf tree in midcentury planter
One of the most iconic midcentury plants, the fiddle leaf tree brightens up any retro home. I love adorning my house with real plants, but have to admit I have a few ‘fakies’ around the home, and sometimes it’s just easier in spots like bathrooms or darker areas. This one looks truly real and comes in a high quality, pretty planter with midcentury style.
Pink atomic wine bottle covers
We may not be galivanting around to as many cocktail and holiday parties as last year, but I know wine is still always a gift of choice for many. What a perfect way to jazz up your delivery or hostess gift than with these pink atomic wine cover bags!?
Stocking stuffer adult coloring books
We may be all spending alot more time at home this winter, and over the holidays. Why not bring some relaxing joy with midcentury adult coloring books? I spend alot of time coloring with my young son and would love to try and get him to color these with me! Check out this one by Margaret Dahm or this cute one from Donna Freitag.
Anne Taintor funny cocktail napkins
Another perfect hostess gift or great to throw in a wine gift basket you are putting together. This pack of 40 cocktail napkins will be sure to bring smiles to any retro lover in your life! As someone who loves a good wine night, I can think of so many people in my life who would love these.
Midcentury graphic design coffee table book
Who doesn’t love a beautiful coffee table book?! This book features hundreds of beautiful art from artists like Charles and Ray Eames and Elaine Lustig…the perfect way to bring some classic color to that retro living room.
Retro starburst colorful clock
I’ll have to end this holiday gift this with this amazing clock. Honestly I think I’m adding this to my own wish list this year. Th colors are just stunning in this replica Nelson Sunburst clock that was originally designed in 1948. Drooling!
Hope you all enjoyed this little list of midcentury gifts. Would love to hear what you would suggest, and please stay tuned for more! There’s too many good ideas not to share more! Happy online shopping everyone!!
