Vintage Gum & Party Favors: Unique Ideas for Holiday Gatherings

The holidays are a time for family, laughter, and the little moments that become cherished memories. This season, celebrate nostalgia with a vintage-inspired gathering — and make Beemans®, Clove®, and Black Jack® gum part of your sweet tradition.

Set the Scene with Vintage-Inspired Holiday Décor

Bring back the cozy charm of holidays past with décor that captures timeless style:

  • Tinsel & Shine: Add silver garland, bubble lights, and glass ornaments for that classic mid-century glow.
  • Retro Palette: Stick with red, green, gold, and silver for a 1950s look, or mix in pastels like mint and pink for a 1960s twist.
  • Old-Fashioned Touches: Mercury glass, bottlebrush trees, and vintage holiday figurines add a nostalgic touch to the ambiance.
  • Classic Comfort: Put on a record player or vintage holiday playlist and fill the room with nostalgic music.

Use Vintage Gums as Party Favors

Give your guests a taste of nostalgia with Beemans®, Clove®, and Black Jack® gum as thoughtful party favors. Or, make it extra special with a Collectible Tin — a keepsake that brings a touch of history to every home. Each tin features artwork inspired by the brand’s original turn-of-the-century advertisements, honoring three icons of the chewing gum industry in a way that feels both meaningful and memorable.

Add a personal, handmade feel by attaching small favor tags or mini labels with sweet messages like:

  • Thanks for popping by!”
  • “A little vintage treat to share.”
  • “Chew on this — a taste of the past!”

Tie them with ribbon, twine, or festive metallic thread to match your holiday style — they’ll look right at home among your decorations.


🎄 Retro Touches for a Holiday Gathering

If you’re dreaming of an old-fashioned Christmas or a nostalgic New Year’s celebration, here are a few simple ways to bring the vintage spirit to life:

  • Play the Classics: Fill the room with timeless holiday tunes that bring back the magic of seasons past.
  • Vintage Style: Encourage guests to dress in retro-inspired outfits — cozy sweaters, velvet dresses, or mid-century glam.
  • Retro Refreshments: Serve classic punch in a vintage bowl to complete the nostalgic vibe.

🕯️ Timeless Traditions to Share

The best part of the holidays is sharing them — stories, laughter, and traditions that span generations. Adding Beemans®, Clove®, and Black Jack® to your holiday gatherings is more than a nod to the past; it’s a way to connect through flavors and memories that never fade.
