Um…you’re missing an option. How about “Nothing”? I give antiques as gifts all the time.
I always look for something antique collectible or vintage for my family members. Something special for that person.
I used to give antiques a lot, but they just don’t realize what they’ve gotten, then I wish I had just kept it for myself!
Nothing!
No interest in living in the past. Most people much rather look forward.
Nothing could keep me from picking up an antique or collectible for someone I know collects a particular thing. There is also nothing wrong with picking up an antique or a collectible that is just an unique as the individual personality it is purchaced for.
It can actually be the beginning to a new shopping partner to find more of those “timeless treasures”.
