1. Celluloid Necklaces: To give a contemporary twist to an Art Deco-era necklace, try pairing it with a simple white tee.
2. Art Deco Cigarette Case: A vintage cigarette case—like this one with an opalescent finish—is a clever alternative to the standard-issue business card holder.
3. Art Deco Hatpins: A gorgeously ornate pin would add so much charm to a basic cloche or fedora. Give one to each of your girl friends.
4. Vintage Brocade Bag: For the bag addict—a vintage purse in a fashion trendy framed shape boasts the kind of detailed handiwork that's unlike anything you'd find on a modern day hand bag.
5. Vintage Powder Box: The gold compact and fluffy pink puff are gloriously ladylike — a perfect gift idea for the beauty buff.
6. Bra: This soft cotton underthing hits the mark between a sexy and sweet present for her.
7. Art Deco Celluloid Fan: An elaborately carved, hand-painted fan has a mysterious, bombshell quality—a gorgeous and memorable holiday gift.
8. Satin Slippers: Who says slippers have to be oversize and furry? Lush satin ballet flat styles are extravagant-looking—and supremely comfortable.
