My husband has taught me to love giving gifts. Giftcards, while valuable and good in their own right (I love keeping my itunes stocked) just aren't the same as a gift that has been personally selected. Now I love finding gifts that I genuinely think the recipient would enjoy. My only complaint is not having enough money to give my #1 choice. (Some day!)
For me, a found vintage gift is sacred. It means someone thought enough of me to give a one of a kind gift, something that they could have kept to themselves, but didn't. My favorite gifts I give are ones I would rather keep myself. The sacrifice is tough, but it makes me feel like I'm giving a piece of myself to the person. Not all gifts have to be vintage, or handmade, local, organic, green, all that stuff I feel like I'm reading about every two seconds. They are all good as you consider options, but to me what's most important is giving someone that "This is exactly what I wanted!" feeling. Practical, impractical, expensive, cheap, handmade, store bought--it doesn't matter.
Is it too early to talk about this? Maybe, but its been on my mind lately.
