From Sci-Fi Vinyl Collectibles to Socially Conscious Athletic Apparel

— December 24, 2017 — Life-Stages
These Gen-X gift ideas range from nostalgic fashion collections to everyday lifestyle essentials that are designed with practicality in mind.

Standouts inspired by popular culture include a limited edition Star Wars: The Force Awakens vinyl lp box set which features exclusive film franchise art. Additionally, Etsy's BeautifulPeaceShop offers collectible posters that dissect the wardrobe of classic television and film characters including Jerry Seinfeld, Indiana Jones, and Marty McFly of Back to the Future.

Other Gen-X gift ideas to note include sustainable athleticwear collections, gourmet pet food deliveries, and even seasonal baby clothing deliveries. A standout, the BabyGap OutfitBox subscription service is not only practical for those with young children, but also ensures one's entire family is appropriately dressed for changing weather conditions.
