  1. It's so nice to save a piece from the past and give it to someone who will give it a renewed purpose.

  2. I love vintage. I love giving vintage gifts, though it can be hard to know whether or not an item I love will be as beloved by someone else. I think that there is a sense of the "treasure hunt" in shopping vintage. And there's something about vintage that stirs the memories both for the giver and the receiver.

    I love the mug. :)

  7. I love getting vintage gifts because they're usually something someone has put a lot of thought into -- and they're usually more unique than something you can find at Walmart!

  8. Vintage is great because it reminds me of my parents and grandparents, having something they might have grown up with. Plus vintage has the best design.

  9. I LOVE all things vintage! It's like giving someone a little piece of history.

  10. I love giving vintage gifts because of the thought that goes into each one. With all the 'big box' stores, it is easy to just get a cheap gift, but vintage gifts show resourcefulness and planning. Also, it's the most fun way to recycle!!

  11. everything vintage has more of a story to me. and you can add to its story when you receive it.
    i adore your work!

  12. this mug is adorable! I prefer vintage because it has already lived, and sometimes longer than I have. I think its important to keep things from the past because they have stories and are ALWAYS a great inspiration!

  13. I love giving gifts with meaning and that are true treasures, not what is on special at a department store. Plus, a chance to give something old a new life and a fresh start, we can all use that:) Love the mug!

  14. (it's hard to come up with a reason that's different from the ones already said, or to put it in different ways, so i'll just go for...)

    Because I'm a big "Friends" fan, I love Phoebe Buffay and, like her, I hate Pottery Barn!

    (just kidding... i don't hate pottery barn - i've never been to a pottery barn store - but i do love Friends, Phoebe and vintage).

    Thanks for the giveaway! :-)

  15. Giving vintage is one of the best ways to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle :-)

  17. Vintage is the best because you are not Creating more STUFF! (The story of stuff). You are reusing and recycling :)

  18. Vintage = RRR = awesome! Too much junk in this world. You can feel a bit less guilty when it's vintage. And vintage is so cute anyways. I mean look at this mug!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I love vintage! vintage has it's own history, memories and feelings of other people. Giving a vintage is like telling a story, giving something something alive.

  20. Vintage makes for a fabulous gift because whether you are on the receiving or giving end you KNOW buying vintage means taking the time out to discover something unique and rich in history for that special someone. And for me knowing someone took time out of their busy lives to look for something special that either I collect or will treasure means a great deal.

    Of course I also find it fascinating to think about the places a particular vintage item has traveled. It's a little like my favorite movie, "The Red Violin". Plus, in this world of mass production it's so nice to have something you're not going to see everywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  21. So cute!
    Vintage is the best because it's unique; not like the mass-produced stuff. I love that each piece has a story and it's fun to keep that story going. :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I love living with vintage pieces they remind my of happy times past and help me look forward to good times to come! Hope I can enter for your giveaway from across the pond! Please... pretty please?

  23. Vintage is back in style!!! That's one of the great reasons that this is a great giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Vintage gifts are the best because they're usually of better quality than the stuff they make today. And because I love them.

    ReplyDelete
  25. When I give a vintage gift, it usually represents that person to a T and would not be suitable for anyone else I know. Plus it's unique that they couldn't find at the mall or Amazon.com.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Vintage items are the best because they've been loved before, so they take a little bit of that love with them to their new home...and so on and so on!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Vintage pieces are treasures from the past, aged to uniqueness. Each piece carries a story and the thought of it can be quite inspiring. A vintage gift is truly one of a kind!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I have my own vintage store,(foundvintagestyle.etsy.com)so I am a serious vintage addict! but my theory is just because it's old doesn't make it good...

    ... however this mug is really good! it has the timeless appeal of great design, color, form. all that and it is useful and will give the lucky winner joy every single day!

    vintage has soul and has passed the test of time.

    ReplyDelete
  29. When I was a child my head turned for new things. But as I grew up I found myself appreciating the past a lot more and the items that went with it. Perhaps that is because the things I grew up with became vintage over time. But not just that when I think about it, because I also developed an interest in design from much older begone eras. In saying all that does that also mean that I have become vintage?

  30. vintage truly makes a fabulous gift because despite the fact that there's a probably a twin to the item still in circulation SOMEWHERE in the big wide world - it always feels one of a kind.

    when you get something vintage as a gift the giver has made a point to buy a one a kind item for their one of a kind friend. not something mass produced. not something 3990303 other people will receive as a gift.

    it's lovely to receive any sort of gift - but when it's vintage it becomes 10 times more special... at least to me.

    i'd rather receive a $2 thrift store jewelry find that's truly "me", than a super expensive pair of diamond earrings.

    i'd rather have this sweet valentine's-y mug than a whole set of fancy dishware.

    indeed. :)

  31. Vintage gifts are unique and still catch on like wildfire. Its that place for everyone who wants to find that special something, because every single item is so different. Worry free ueber-creative gift ideas!!! Love it!

  36. Oops, didn't read your instructions. So: Vintage makes a wonderful gift because it's been around so long that maybe all the others are broken and this is the last one left!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I love vintage, because I like thinking of the life something had before I came along.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Vintage is a little insight into somebody elses past, something that was special to them which now has a new meaning for you.

    My engagement ring is vintage and I love the fact that somebody else treasured it as much as I do know.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I personally love vintage...when you get something vintage there is a sense of history and an unique past that each item has. It is interesting to imagine who else has owned and cared for the piece.

  42. Such a cute mug! I think giving a vintage gift is great because it's original. Vintage items are more of a treasure because there aren't thousands of them on store shelves.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Because vintage pieces are fabulously unique and usually few and far between.

    ReplyDelete
  44. This mug is so cute! Vintage has charm! And the best treasures in life have history.

    ReplyDelete
  45. That mug has probably caused a lot of smiles. It's probably warmed cool hands and reminded the holder that they are loved. The next person to get this mug will be very lucky (and loved, most importantly).
