Where to Buy Vintage Bakeware Gifts for Girls

Little girls love to bake, so why not give her a very special stash of high quality vintage bakeware for the next holiday or birthday? We plan on doing this for our 6.5 year old girl with the idea that someday she will take these items with her when she leaves our home and use these items with her own children. Here are some great sources for buying vintage bakeware.

The Local Thrift Store
The thrift store is a wonderful place to find vintage bakeware, which are sometimes very high quality. Since the inventory of vintage bakeware changes daily in most thrifts stores, it's a good idea to check often.

Private sale
Yard sales, craigslist ads, and newspaper ads are great sources for vintage bakeware gifts for girls. Look for yard sale ads that advertise household items or estate sales to increase your chances of finding treasures. Newspaper and craigslist ads, should be searched using specific items, such as cookie cutter, mixing bowls, or egg beater.

Flea Markets
Vintage bakeware kitchen items are usually found in abundance at flea markets and swap meets. The advantage to buying at a flea market is that you can sometimes bargain with the seller and get a lower price.

Freecycle
If you aren't already a member, join and let your local freecyclers know that you are looking for vintage bakeware for the little girl in your life. Somebody may have the perfect gift stashed away in a closet, sitting unused and waiting for a new home.

Hill Housewares
Hill Housewares sells many vintage mixing bowls made by popular manufacturers like Pyrex, Pfaltzgraff, and Vernonware. The vintage bakeware you'll see at this site dates from the early 1900s to the 1980s. Many of the vintage pyrex bowls for sale at Hill Housewares are colorful and would make a perfect gift for a little girl.
