Stumped on what gift to get for that ultra-hip friend of yours? A happy medium must be struck between mainstream and alternative.

Check out these London vintage stores filled to the brim with handmade accessories and artsy knick-knacks.

Filthy Rebena

177 Dundas Street

This store features lots of rad accessories, with Soft Flirt’s handmade pennants (A) and tees (B) from $30 to $35. For someone who gets a little too emotional, these crying themed badges (C) are just the thing at $15. Some of them also have cats on them, which makes them even better. A variety wall of sunglasses (D) means it’s always cool to wear shades, even if you’re wearing them at night or inside. ($25)

Blue Pepper Vintage

187 Dundas Street

Formerly Jackpot Vintage, this store is jampacked with vintage clothes and accessories. The store specializes in local London creators and artists with a goal of giving back to the community. Spruce Moose has all kinds of handmade bowties (F) for all occasions for $30, while Stone + Bone offers stunning necklaces (G) ranging from $20 to $40. A series of vintage Canadian pennants (H) dating as far back as the ‘40s could be yours starting at $20. And of course, no vintage store would be complete without a sweater collection (I) starting at $20.

Über Cool Stuff

122 Dundas Street

While this location is a smaller version of Wortley Village’s Heist, it’s closest to the other two stores on the list. This place also hosts local arts and crafts, selling London themed mugs (J) for $10. Paintings may be a bit more expensive (K), but imagine how nice it would look on your wall from $100 and up. Finally, check out these unique cards (L) to tie together a completely alternative holiday gift for $5.
