Gifts, Gadgets, and Apparel featuring an image of a
​Blue Vintage Police Phone Public Call Box

If you're looking for a gift or gadget for someone who loves Dr. Who, you've come to the right place.  I just found a collection of over 150 items that feature a vintage police phone public call box.  

The image appears on shirts, postcards, towels, button pins, phone cases, key chains, posters and even things like a cribbage set and luggage tags.

I'm featuring a few of the items here for your viewing pleasure but you can see them all by visiting VINTAGE POLICE PHONE PUBLIC CALL BOX at Zazzle.

And a set of playing cards featuring the call box makes a great gift for just about anyone!  And if you've got Christmas in mind, this is an excellent Stocking Stuffer but there's also ornaments and even a Christmas tree skirt!

There are seriously so many different and unique items that it would be impossible for me to list them all here.  And these things are not just gift items, there's lots of other useful things that you should see too.

In fact, a luggage tag featuring the Doctor Who-like  call box is one of the most popular items in the collection.  How fun would that be hanging from your luggage, or backpack?

Vintage Christmas postcards

Long ago, postcards were the popular way of staying in touch and sending holiday greetings.  I'm all for bringing back that tradition.  Text messages and emails just don't seem like enough and writing out cards sometimes feels like too much.  A quick hello on a postcard doesn't take much time or money and, I think, it really shows that you care.
I recently came across this gorgeous vintage Christmas postcards collection created by shopkeeper Kikiway at Zazzle. 

The unique designs come from real antique postcard artwork.  You'll find a wonderful selection of cute, traditional and funny cards that are sure to delight your chosen recipients.

Why not host an ornament exchange party for the holidays?

The premise is simple, you invite your friends, coworkers, and family.  Everyone brings a wrapped Christmas ornament and at some point during the party, everyone gets to open their new ornament.

This gorgeous retro Christmas ornament is called, Peace Begins Within.

We love the 1960's psychedelic look of this traditional peace sign with it's swirling colors.

​Although the peace sign reminds us of those retro days in the 1960's, there's never a bad time to display and promote, peace on earth.

1950's Retro TV Christmas Postcards Personalized with your Photo

10/5/2016

Oh what fun! 

I truly think this is the BEST Christmas postcard design I have EVER seen.  So unique!

It has an adorable illustrated scene straight out of the 50's. 

There's a retro 1950's style cabinet television standing front and center (kind of) and you can see an old-fashioned Christmas tree in the background but THE best thing is that you can upload any photo you love and it appears to be on air on the TV. 

Go ahead and click the image of the postcard to be taken to Zazzle where you can test it out with your own photos.

The hardest part about these cute Christmas postcards is deciding which picture you want to use. 

There's a soft gray and white snowflake border around the image which also continues on to the back.

Order them as-is and add your own personal hand-written message to each of your friends or "customize it" to have your message printed on the back of the cards.

Sending postcard greetings saves you money on postage too!

I have always been a sucker for postcard greetings and I wish the whole world would go back to the time when postcards were our number one source for wishing friends and family good cheer for the holidays.

But these aren't just useful for personal greetings, I think these would be amazing to use by companies as well.  Just think how cute they would look with your logo on the television screen, or maybe a photo of your business address or even the faces of your beautiful and trusted employees.
