Six Retro Christmas Gifts You Can Make

Why give an ordinary gift this year when you can give a unique retro Christmas gift? If there's a person in your life who appreciates bygone times, they'll enjoy receiving one of these unusual gift ideas. Here are some ideas for unique retro Christmas gifts:

A mood ring

If you have a gift recipient who loved the seventies, they'll be ecstatic to receive one of these "blasts from the past". These rings were the rage in the 1970's because they changed color depending upon the mood of the person wearing it. It should be fairly easy to find a mood ring from an online store to present to your lucky recipient. Watch out! Pretty soon everyone in your family will want one of these nostalgic finger ornaments.

A hula-hoop

The hula hoop was a big fad in the late 1960's with interest so strong in this large plastic ring that a National Hula Hoop Contest ran for many years. The hula hoop is actually an excellent exercise aid. It's claimed that a full minute of hula hooping burns as many calories as running an eight minute mile. Plus, it helps to tone your midsection. If you have a retro gift lover who wants a fun way to exercise, a hula hoop would be the perfect gift solution.

A recording of disco hits from the 1970's

Who can forget the kitschy disco era with its dancing queens and guys in polyester suits? Why not give the unique retro Christmas gift of songs from the disco era? Your lucky gift recipient will thank you as she "hustles" across the floor to the disco beat.

A poster of Elvis

What retro lover doesn't love the king of rock and roll? Your gift recipient will be very proud to display a life size poster of Elvis on the wall next to her lava lamp.

A retro candy gift box

Do you remember all of those candies from the past that you don't routinely see at local drugstores and grocery stores? You can still buy those jaw breakers, atomic fireballs, candy cigarettes, Sugar Babies, Pop Rocks and more at a retro candy store online. It's the ultimate retro Christmas gift for the vintage lover with a sweet tooth.

A retro milkshake maker

Remember those old fashioned milkshakes you could buy at your local drugstore in the sixties and seventies? They always tasted so rich and delicious, poured into those cold metal cups. Now you can make old fashioned milkshakes at home with a retro milkshake maker. It's made of stylish stainless steel and can be purchased for under $35.00. One site that offers this unique gift is findgift.com.

Let your imagination wonder and you'll come up with many more unique retro Christmas gifts that will surely make a flower child from the past very happy. Why settle for the ordinary?
