The Great Gatsby inspired gifts

Stores normally ‘cash in’ on big movie releases by selling items that are inspired by pieces (jewellery, clothing etc.) seen in the movie. In the case of The Great Gatsby, stores have gotten on the 1920s bandwagon, selling items inspired by the era and items with art deco motifs on them. I thought I would kick off my ‘5 days of Gatsby’ with few of my favourite Gatsby inspired gifts.

gatsby inspired giftsPearls are perhaps one of the most recognised accessories worn in the 1920s, back then they were worn only by the rich (like Gatsby’s party guests), but today you can buy costume jewellery that is just as nice as the real thing!

gatsby inspired giftsEmbellished headbands or other head wear were also popular in the 1920s. The above headband reminds me very much of something one of Gatsby’s female party guests may have worn. It’s all about the bling!
