We all agree: gift-giving feels great – a beautiful chance to show someone how special we think they are. But with every item imaginable only a mouse click away, how to give something that’s truly personal? 

Simple… by keeping it close to home and choosing a gift with a story, a history. 

Because the perfect gift is already out there somewhere – maybe it’s some old-school vinyl at a local flea market, a floral tea set at that cute corner bric-a-brac shop, or what about your aunt’s silver filigree brooch, stuck in the back of your drawer, beautiful but unworn? They’re all valuable because they’re carefully chosen by you for someone you love.

Pre-loved, vintage, curated, antique or simply-second-hand – whatever you want to call it – let’s let go of the idea that a gift that matters has to be new and seek out the treasures already around us. And of course you can also gift an experience – something memorable you can do together.

Because it’s in choosing thoughtfully and consciously that we show that we care. About the people around us and about our planet too.
