Got someone on your list who’s impossible to shop for? Consider something pre-owned and pre-loved. Vintage wares are often more durable, less expensive, and always conversation-starters. Not to mention, buying secondhand is better for the environment than buying new. Check out your local thrift shops and vintage or antique stores; or go online to hunt down just what you’re looking for. Here are some ideas for inspiration—all of them, at press time, still waiting to be snapped up.
