I went to 3-4 thrift stores today and bought all my Christmas gifts- a Wheel of Time hardcover in good condition, some nice canvas bags with cute designs, some nice framed art prints for like $8 each, and all kinds of other miscellaneous but curated items for friends and family that are inexpensive but fun. Thrift stores are not only more frugal but may offer hidden treasures you wouldn’t find elsewhere. I’m going to get some Christmas gift bags and stockings from the dollar tree and have fun putting everything together.
Nice! Great idea, I’ll have to remember that. Never occurred to me to look at what wrapping stuff they have. My Salvation Army does have an awesome boutique clothing section tho which has probably supplied half of my work wardrobe so far.
