It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas

We love Christmas here at SVWH and we never fail to get excited about new goodies in our shop but also the Christmas presents we select for our friends and family. Christmas is definitely the season of giving and spreading a bit of festive joy.

We are a big fan of this website and we love the idea of making beautiful vintage gift tags.


Retro books always make a great gift whether in a stocking or as a Secret Santa. Cosmopolitan magazine rated this as one of their faves and we're inclined to agree.
We've been good Santa, we promise!


Charm bracelets are making a comeback thanks to companies like Pandora. We love their modern take on the old classic. It means you can buy the bracelt for a special friend or loved one and other people can add to their bracelet with personalised charms to make it truly unique.


Children can be tricky to buy for, usually wanting the latest craze or fad. We're smitten with kid-friendly and kid-favourites in the form of mini hampers! Pack a beautifully wrapped box with their favourtie sweets and chocolates and the more retro you can go, the better!



We always wish that we could play dress up all day and these gorgeous Beatrix Potter inspired tea sets would do us nicely. Another one for our wish list.


Get creative in the kitchen and rustle up homemade truffles, jams, chutneys and cakes. This beautiful morsel is taken from another blog we love - www.vintageandcake.blogspot.com


If we had an iPad, we would get one of these to play all our music on! We love our people can effortlessly fuse vintage with modern and this is right on the money.



Rockett St. George (another fave website of ours!) always nails our absolute must-haves. What's not to love about these wooden signs? We'll take them all.


We hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wish everyone all the best for the New Year.

Don't forget to come along to our shop in Shalesmoor, Sheffield from 3rd January 2012 as we are having our January sale with up to 20% off furniture and homeware items.
Come and grab yourself a bargain and get something beautifully vintage to boot!
