Fascinating Collectibles that Make Great Gifts
The same thing happens every year around the holiday season. It is once again time to dig deep and try to come up with gift ideas that will show your family members how much you care about them.
It isn’t always easy, and a lot of people don’t like to come right out and tell you what they want as a gift. They expect you to think carefully about what they like and thoughtfully come up with present ideas on your own.
The best way to do this is to take a look at a wide range of gift options and see what stands out to you. Here are a few examples of terrific collectibles that could be perfect for your family and friends.
El Cazador Treasure Chest with Coin Cluster
Does someone in your family have an affinity for the high seas? Do they revel in learning about the past and meticulously collect historical artifacts?
This unbelievable set comes with four to five silver coins that were recovered from the famous El Cazador shipwreck. Way back in 1784, a ship left Spain loaded with brand new Spanish coins. The ship mysteriously sank and wasn’t discovered again for over 200 years. Then, in 1993, a Mississippi fisherman was shocked when he pulled up a net full of not fish, but historic Spanish coins!
The coins in this set have not been cleaned or polished. They are in the exact condition they were left in when found at the bottom of the ocean. They come in a handsome box with brass accents and even have a key, so you can lock them safely away. This is truly a chest of treasures and will make an unbelievable conversation piece.
1965 Corvette Sting Ray Fiberglass Coupe
This delightful replica of the classic muscle car is sure to dazzle the motorhead in your family. The 396 Turbo Jet engine that was introduced in this car was at the time virtually unparalleled.
Assemblers have put this model together entirely by hand and it is limited to just 1,965 across the world. Not many people will be lucky enough to get their hands on this amazing opportunity. This model is a classic all in itself.
Giants of the Gridiron Chess Set – Deluxe Edition
The game of chess has been around for over a thousand years. Early versions of chess originated in India during the 6th century before slowly moving across the Middle East and finally into Europe, evolving as it moved across the lands.
This delightful chess set pays homage to another modern game of strategy: football. Each of the pieces in this set are hand-sculpted and painted to resemble the different players on the gridiron.
The board itself is made of hardwood and is lacquered with a fine black finish. There are storage drawers on either side of the board so that you can store all the pieces when you aren’t playing. This is a great gift for people who love chess, football or both!
Jackie’s Pearls
Treat that special lady in your life to something truly special with this faux pearl necklace that is an exact reproduction of Jackie Onassis’s famous strand of pearls.
This unbelievable option is both a collector’s item and a fabulous accessory. The European glass faux pearls were forged in a mold that was created directly from Jackie’s pearl necklace. Her original necklace once sold in an auction for a whopping $211,000!
Pearls have been a timeless accessory for hundreds of years. This dazzling set of creamy pearls will look beautiful for years to come.
Mattel Don Draper Mad Men Doll
Fans of the AMC television series “Mad Men” recognize this saga of the advertising industry in the 1960s as easily one of the best shows currently on television.
This rendition of Don Draper is a perfect example of the fashionable attention to detail that is part of what makes this show a hit. The doll shows Draper in one of his trademark red-lined suits and comes with overcoat, briefcase and hat accessories. This would make a stylish edition to the Barbie Doll collection of a young girl or would look great on the mantle of a fan of the show.
Ford Pocket Knife – Bronco
Every man, or woman for that matter, should always carry a pocketknife. You never when they might come in handy. This knife is designed to honor the Bronco line from the Ford Motor Company, and it is built just as tough as the automobile it is named after.
Take the time to really find something special for your friends and family members this holiday season. When you put in the extra effort to find something that is just right for someone, they will notice. These collectibles are just a few of the many items out there that could be just the gift you are looking for.
