Wrap your pressie in brown kraft wrap with burlap ribbon, or tuck in a handwritten note telling the item’s story. It’s the little touches that turn a purchase into a memory.

The Appeal
Giving retro and offbeat gifts isn’t just about the stuff — it’s about connection. Each piece has a past, quirky presents for him which now is part of the recipient’s life.
