I hope Deb loved her gift.

A 1960s gift tag found in a vintage, like-new avocado green velvet chair

Just time traveled to Christmas, 1967ish. Retrieved a small slip of paper in the crack of the immaculately cared for avocado velvet chair from the local antique mall. I wonder how long this tag has been there and what Deb's gift was.

My guesses from the tag as a clue: 

  • The shakiness makes me think it's an older person. 
  • With an empty From space, I am guessing it's a two-person household so the giver is a given.
  • Alternatively, the giver is visiting Deb, so the "who" is apparent. Possibly a grown daughter and Deb's parent. 
  • From the all cap lettering, I would guess a man wrote it. But I also think a man in the 60's would skip the tag. 
  • The age of the chair makes me guess the tag Santa is the same vintage. Versus an old illustration being used more recently for that retro field.
