One of my absolute favorite weekend activities is to wander through the city's antique markets. Portobello Road is always at the top of my list -- not just for its vibrant chaos, but also for its diversity of items available. You can find everything from mid-century homewares and enamel kitchen tins to vinyl records that still jangle with life. I've lost count of the occasions when I've received "just one small gift" that turned into an entire bag of treasures.
I like going to Shoreditch or Islington to see something curated. There are vintage boutiques in these areas that specialize in particular times. For example, there is a shop that specializes on 1940s fashion and another one that focuses on 1970s lighting. It's the kind of browsing experience where you're talking to the owner of the shop for a half-hour about the history of a lamp or the origins of a satchel made of leather.
When buying retro items I always search for authenticity. Maker's marks, original labels and even a little wear and tear can add character. The antique dealers in London are typically eager to tell the story behind the item. This story is usually included in the present. Imagine gifting a scarf dating back to the 1950s that travelled through Europe or a typewriter that was used to write love letters in decades back. This transforms a present into a living part of history.
Of course, part of the fun is mixing old with the contemporary. I sometimes pair a vintage home accessory with modern packaging or fresh flowers to give it a contemporary twist. It's a great way to give something old a new look, while still honoring its origins.
London offers a variety of fairs that are seasonal. They are particularly popular around Christmas. The Southbank Winter Market and various pop-up vintage fairs bring with the spirit of the season with stalls that are full of unique, one-off quirky gifts,vintage gifts,retro gifts,retro presents,retro gifts for men,retro gifts for her,vintage presents,vintage gifts for her,retro gifts men,quirky birthday gifts,christmas gifts quirky,gifts retro,quirky christmas gifts,mens retro gifts,nostalgic gifts,vintage presents for her,quirky presents,vintage gifts for him,vintage presents for him,retro christmas gifts,quirky presents for men,quirky gifts for her,quirky xmas gifts,quirky gifts christmas,nostalgic presents,quirky birthday presents,original ideas for gifts,quirky presents for guys,unusual present ideas uk,90s nostalgia gifts,unusual gifts for best friends,unusual presents for him uk,cool gift,unusual mens xmas gifts,unusual presents for friends,fun gift ideas,weird and unique gifts,unusual gift ideas uk,special gift ideas,unusual christmas presents uk,strange gifts,fun gifts adults,special gift,birthday gifts quirky,unique gifts gifts,quirky gift stores,unique christmas gifts uk,christmas presents cool,weird gifts,presents beginning with s,gifts for her quirky,retro christmas items,quirky gifts for guys,cool items for christmas,unusual gifts christmas,strange and unusual gifts,unusual present,unusal gifts,weird birthday gifts for him,unusual christmas gifts for,unusual xmas presents for him,quirky presents for him,strange and unique gifts,quirky presents for her,unusual gift ideas,retro gifts for men,interesting gifts for adults,gifts from 1974,quirky mens presents,presents starting with s,retro items,unusual presents for him,weird presents,unusual presents uk,antique gifts,interesting present ideas,interesting gifts uk,gifts unusual uk,retro presents,interesting presents,quirky gifts for him,mens retro gifts,quirky gifts for friends,unusual christmas present ideas,80s presents,unusual present ideas for men,odd unusual gifts,a unique gift,unusual gift items,retro gifts from the 80s,quirky gift,gift ideas unusual,80's presents,gift weird,mens unusual gifts uk,unique gifts for unique friends,quirky birthday gifts,odd and unique gifts,not on the high street gifts for men,quirky gifts uk,quirky christmas presents,quirky presents for friends,quirky presents for friends,vintage christmas presents,special gifts,odd gifts for christmas,ideas for unusual gifts,unusual present ideas,unusual gifts united kingdom,presents for a man cave,unusual gifts for xmas,unusual presents for best friends,unusual mens gifts uk,unique presents uk,quirky birthday presents,unusual christmas gifts men,unusual mens christmas presents,quirky gift ideas,funky gifts,unique gifts uk,80s gifts,quirky xmas presents,interesting gift ideas,Unique Gifts. I never leave empty handed, and often I come home with something for myself as well.
In a world where much is disposable the act of giving a retro or vintage present feels personal and considered. It's a tribute to craftsmanship and to stories that are worth keeping and to the satisfaction of discovering beautiful objects that have endured the test of time. London is the perfect backdrop for this hunt. It's one that is awash in its past and is still vibrant and alive.
When you next go to the to shop for gifts, stay away from the uninspired high-street chains. Spend a weekend dress in your most comfortable shoes, and go treasure-hunting in London. You will never know what treasures will find, but I promise it will be a memorable experience.
