Finding Retro Gifts for Hunting on Portobello Road - By Alice Davises

Portobello Road is a place in London that has a retro-chic vibe that practically spills onto streets. Hidden in the heart of Notting Hill, this famous street is more than just an appealing backdrop for Hugh Grant movies -- it's a paradise for anyone who is a fan of antique treasures and gifts that can't be ordinary.
Saturdays are when the street really comes alive. The market is a treasure hunt. The air is suffused with conversations and the scent of freshly baked goods from the bakeries. I always start in the antique section with rows of stalls that glitter with silverware, old clocks, and old jewellery. These aren't just items -- they're items of history you can hold in your hand.
For quirky gift hunters The retro stalls are a delight. You might find an Art Deco tea set next to a collection of 1970s vinyl records, or a leather suitcase that has been battered waiting for its next adventure. I've seen old typewriters that are still working perfectly, and a tin toy that will make any eyes sparkle.
Portobello Road has a lot of character in each purchase. Many traders are collectors who love to tell the stories behind their pieces. This kind of information makes the gift more personal.
And it's not only antiques. There are a variety of independent shops that sell reimagined vintage old fabrics transformed into cushions, reclaimed wood turned into jewellery boxes, vintage prints that have been updated for modern walls. This is where nostalgia meets imagination and you'll find the perfect gift.
Be patient if you're going to Portobello to shop for gifts. Wander slowly take a break for coffee at one of the cafes odd and unique gifts keep your eyes open. The best finds often appear when you're not on the run. When you leave you'll find something that can't be bought in an outlet store -something that has a soul as well as a story to tell, and quirky xmas gifts a little bit of London magic.
