An antique enthusiast’s guide to Christmas shopping


If you’re looking to beat the mall crowds and find some truly unique Christmas gifts this festive season, an estate sale is an ideal place to do your shopping. An estate appraisal resulting in the sale of estate contents is a veritable treasure trove for those on the hunt for one-of-a-kind gifts.

An antique appraiser that regularly holds estate sales will be able to provide you with information on what kinds of items you can expect to pick up at these events. Jerry’s Antiques, an appraiser providing services throughout the New York area, hosts many tag sales that present fantastic opportunities for festive shopping.

When you go to an estate sale with gift shopping in mind, take a list with you of all the people you need gifts for, with a note on the type of item you think they’ll like. When you arrive at the sale, however, be open minded to ensure you don’t miss out on something great!
