1. Accidental Partridge in a Pear Tree Ornament
A slightly misshapen, clearly homemade partridge ornament that looks like it barely survived the kiln. The perfect way to add a touch of 'authenticity' to their perfectly curated vintage tree.
2. Crocheted Toilet Paper Cozy (Holiday Edition)
A handmade, slightly lopsided crocheted toilet paper cozy featuring a questionable Santa design. It's the ultimate in vintage bathroom decor, ironically revived.
3. Aromatherapy Candle: 'Grandma's Fruitcake'
A powerfully scented candle that perfectly captures the essence of a fruitcake that's been aging since the 1950s. Guaranteed to fill their home with nostalgic (and slightly questionable) aromas.
4. Vintage Christmas Caroling Record (Off-Key)
A scratched and warped vinyl record of a local church choir's disastrous attempt at caroling. The perfect auditory accompaniment to their vintage holiday display, for all the wrong reasons.

A velvet painting of Elvis wearing a Santa hat. It's kitsch, it's bizarre, and it's the perfect conversation starter for any vintage-themed holiday party.
6. Single Mismatched String Light
A lone, slightly burnt-out string light bulb in an odd color that absolutely doesn't match anything else. The ultimate symbol of vintage holiday imperfection.
