In a dilemma about what to give your friend who has everything for Christmas? Ralph Lauren has a collection of one-of-a-kind vintage items that were hand-picked for their beauty and enduring style.

The chrome race car (shown above) was one of the last cars created by illustrious model car designer Herb Singe. This collectible is gas-powered and fully-functional, with moving parts similar to a vintage racer. Cost: $ 7,850.

This circa 1950s Tiffany & Co. desk set contains a sectional tray, a glass inkwell, a stationary stand, a business card holder and a paper clip. Crafted from sterling silver, each item has an inscription with the Tiffany seal. Cost: $ 4,200.

From the house of Hermes in France comes this rare silver-plated envelope box circa 1950. The top of the box is stamped with the shape of an envelope, the interior lined in wood and the Hermes signature imprinted at the back. Cost: $ 3,150.

This circa 1930s desk ornament shows two bomber planes in flight. One plane is made of aluminum while the other is of black Bakelite plastic. Cost: $ 1,950.

Another original from Hermes is this silver-plated letter opener designed as a belt strap circa 1950. This “belt” comes complete with a loop, three holes and a pointed tip. The Hermes signature monogram at the back assures you of this item’s authenticity. Cost: $ 1,600.

All items are exclusively available at Ralph Lauren.
