Welcome to Unique Unusual Gift Ideas, I am happy to be hosting this wonderful website for all those who need assistance in selecting the best gifts for their loved ones.
Why Unique Unusual Gift Ideas Was Created
I am not sure about you but when it comes time to shopping for family members who “have it all” finding a unique unusual gift for them becomes nearly impossible.
When I began to attend Estate Auctions was actually the exact time it struck me, why not open a store online that would carry vintage, antique, unique, unusual, and highly collectible items.
You can locate some of the items I carry on Etsy, eBay, or one of the other websites on the internet but my prices are going to be lower or exactly the same for comparable items.
What I am doing is eliminating the middleman saving myself and hopefully you money, at least that is my main goal. Who does not like saving money?
Now I do know that right now I do not have much here for starting a new business venture, but I do believe there are more than enough vintage, unique, and unusual gift ideas for all occasions.
Looking For Something Special?
There is always one item that you have been trying to find, if you would send me a description then I would be happy to keep my eyes open at the Estate Sales which I attend to help you find it.
Without an exact picture finding the item is going to be somewhat difficult, but I will do my best to accommodate any requests that are sent my way.
Forewarning everything provided here on my site will be in the used vintage category unless otherwise noted, and there will only be one of each item available unless otherwise noted, as well.
Once an item is sold I have no way to know if I will ever have that particular item again considering my purchases are done on an Estate sale by sale basis.
When I cannot find the exact item that I am selling on another website finding the closest item to it will be how I will be pricing the items here. Listing where I find each item, along with their price and my price will also let you check my honesty.
Large Items And Shipping
The location of these items is in the United States the state of Pennsylvania close to Pittsburgh. As you may know, shipping items can be a big expensive part of purchasing any of the larger items I have listed.
Not only do you have the shipping charges but the danger of items getting broken or damaged during transit. Which means ensuring your item against such liabilities and against huge costs to myself.
At this time unless you are willing to absorb these costs into your purchase I cannot ship larger items in the United States or overseas.
Shipping and insurance within the continental United States will be added to the smaller items and stated on site. If you are from overseas the shipping, handling, and packaging will need to be adjusted.
Pick-up of items can be arranged by contacting me at s.marienfeld.apollo@gmail.com
A common meeting place will be agreed upon between parties in order for you to pick up your purchases.
Payments will all be done through PayPal due to fraudulent transactions by unscrupulous people. I was brought up old school and we never had to worry much about these things in the past a shame today such things are tolerated.
Keeping The Past Alive
Passing all the vintage, unique, unusual, and one of a kind items down through generations is one of the greatest ways to keep our past history alive.
Our younger generations can learn from these items what our generation and our past generations have gone through during hard times and good times.
Many of these items are just thrown away into the junk heaps and landfills. What a shame knowing that each piece has an accompanying story that it could tell.
These wonderful items belonged to parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and some even great-great-grandparents, I wish they all could talk to let us know their story.
Maybe you can find an item that you remember from your childhood that reminds you of one of those stories you can now relate down to the generations in your family or your friend’s family.
Think back in time to all the wonderful memories of places you visited, things that people wore, items of different places, and different times.
Remember working in the kitchen with your grandmother or mother and some of the wonderful smells that came from the stove or oven. Wouldn’t it be great if all the children of today could have those types of memories?
Included on my site is Watkins Since 1868 spices and household items along with Amway Products from the past and present. What better way to help save our planet than using Amway organic products?
Anyone who has cooked using Watkins knows that they taste so much better than using store brands, sure they do cost more, but you use less product for a better taste!
So much of the past has been forgotten it is unforgivable that we are letting this happen today. Children do not know how to play outside anymore, adults spend no time with their children, families are broken and need to be fixed.
