MAKE IT A MERRY THRIFTMAS

by | Dec 9, 2019 | Op Shop Guide

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and if you don’t want to max your credit card this silly season, skip your local shopping mall and try scoring some secondhand goods at your local thrift store! Aside from saving you A LOT OF COIN, there are so many good reasons for thrifting gifts this Christmas… 1. It’s personalized…it’s not your standard chocolates and candle combo. It’ll be quirky and unique. 2. It’s kind on the planet…you’ll be saving things from ending up in landfill just by recycling! 3. You’ll be helping charities at the same time, right when they need the funds most. 4. There won’t be any chance of present double ups! 5. You won’t have trouble finding a carpark and you won’t have to deal with the hordes of frantic people doing their last minute Christmas shopping! Present ideas:
  • Sisters, mums, work colleagues, or aunties: cute mugs, tea pots or cup and saucer combos and throw in a box of fancy tea from T2 #boom
  • Dads, brothers and boyfriends: wallets, men’s shirts, bow-ties and books
  • Besties: 90s DVDs like Clueless, vintage handbags, wine or martini glasses, or a cute vase finished off with a bunch of christmas flowers, eucalyptus foliage or peonies
  • Nieces, nephews and grandchildren: baby’s shoes, toys and board games…there’s always so many at the opshops
  • Mums, dads, nannas and poppas: recycle some photo frames and pop ultra cute pictures of yourself in them…they froth on that stuff!

      That’s amazing! I find thrifting gifts so much more fun and relaxing than battling the mall with the entire population of Brisbane!

    Boardies – they must be made of something indestructible, op shop ones still look great!
