Need a Last-Minute Gift? 5 Thrifty Ideas from Goodwill!
Shopping for holiday gifts at a Goodwill thrift store can be a unique and sustainable way to find thoughtful and affordable presents. A memorable gift is one thrift shopping trip away when you bring your creativity!
Here are 5 gift ideas to get you started:
#1: Vintage Decorations
It’s natural to hold onto warm holiday memories from our childhood. Tap into that nostalgia and look for vintage ornaments, wreaths, or holiday-themed decorations that will make your gift recipient remember happy holiday memories from a simpler time.
#2: Gently-Loved Books
For the readers in your life, find gently used books to suit all sorts of reading interests. A good story never goes out of style! You might even find classics that are perfect for collecting. And don’t forget cookbooks for the budding chefs you know!
#3: Games Galore
Gift someone the makings of a treasured memory! Nothing brings a group of friends or family members together like a classic board game or a new puzzle. Ohio Valley Goodwill thrift stores are a great way to find games and puzzles that will provide hours of entertainment at a fraction of the price.
#4: Jewelry & Fashion Accessories
Explore Goodwill’s jewelry and accessories section for unique, vintage pieces or the perfect outfit add-on. You might find a beautiful brooch, necklace, or pair of earrings that would make a special gift. Or, select a special scarf or hat that will keep them warm in style this winter.
#5: Cozy Coffee Mugs or Tea Cups
Everyone enjoys a warm beverage in their favorite mug. Why not find a unique or stylish mug or tea cup and give the gift of coziness this holiday season? You can take this gift idea a step further by filling your unique mug with a container of homemade cocoa mix and a candy cane. Teacups also make brilliant handmade candles. Just find the melting wax and a wick at your nearest craft store and you’ll have a thoughtful, hand-crafted gift that is certain to impress!
