Get into the Holiday Spirit with a Little Help from Goodwill

2020 has been a tough year for all, so this holiday season, we’re looking for joy wherever we can find it!

It’s never too early to get into the holiday spirit, and Ohio Valley Goodwill has incredible finds to help you make the holidays extra festive. With a quick, thrifty trip to your nearest Goodwill store, you can get ready for the most wonderful time of year! Here’s how:  

Deck the halls

One silver lining of spending more time at home is more time to enjoy your holiday decorations! Deck your halls for less when you shop for holiday décor at your local Goodwill store. Here, you’ll find ornaments, stockings, wreaths and greenery, candles, figurines, and more to make your space extra merry! If you’re feeling crafty, Goodwill also has plenty of items that can be reused for DIY holiday decorations.

Dress the part

You don’t need a big holiday party to dress to the nines at home! Head to Goodwill to find festive holiday attire suitable for the whole family, all at amazing prices. We love the idea of having an at-home fashion show or staging a DIY photoshoot to show off your Goodwill finds. You could even use the photos for your next holiday card. Can you say fa-la-la-la-fabulous?

Watch a holiday movie marathon

If you need help getting into the holiday spirit, we highly recommend putting on some festive pajamas, baking holiday cookies, and curling up on the couch with a favorite holiday film or two. Ohio Valley Goodwill has everything you need for a cozy movie night at home, from comfy pajamas for the entire family to a great selection of affordably-priced DVDs.

Listen to holiday tunes

Turn up the joy and turn on holiday songs to get into a festive mood! Better yet, go old-school and get a holiday record spinning on your turntable. There’s something so timeless about listening to holiday albums on vinyl! Best of all, you can add to your record collection for less when you shop at Goodwill. We receive new donations daily, so you never know what hidden gems you might find on our store shelves.

Children’s books at Goodwill

Read a holiday classic

There are many holiday stories that capture the spirit of the season. Check your local Goodwill store or search online at shopgoodwill.com for holiday classics like A Christmas Carol or The Night Before Christmas. With the savings you’ll find at Goodwill, you can fill an entire bookshelf with holiday books!

This year, take the holidays in stride and focus on the positives. We’re all in this together!
