Holiday gift ideas can be antique or vintage. Visiting outdoor flea markets while wearing masks these covid days for that special something can reveal an item that is rare and often very beautiful. It may take time to find that special gift, but it's wonderfully worthwhile and the hunt being leisurely is relaxing, happy and hopefully fruitful.

My family usually make gifts to give close friends, or to one-another. But yesterday at an open air flea market I spent rather a lot on an early 19th century hand carved chess set. Later when I'd boxed it, I gave it to my boyfriend Ted.

The chess set is antique. It looks incredible, because it's a one-off and very, very valuable because the chess set had provenance, great history of ownership including its maker. It was a WOW moment, but the look on Ted's face was the best of all. I knew I'd made the right choice!
