Question - how do you feel about giving/receiving vintage gifts? Is there some stigma attached to them? Like they are "used" or "cheap"? I would be thrilled to get any of these vintage coffee items.
As for vintage gifts, I really think it depends on the person. If they enjoy vintage stuff, then it would probably be OK but if they are not into it, then they might think you were being cheap.
Personally, the reuse of old items is a fantastic philosophy. Not only is it great when you find a use for an old item, but it's environmentally responsible. Recycling is good, but reuse is better because it consumes 0 energy while making something useful out of something that might have been headed for the landfill.
