Yes I would! And I also thrift for gifts and have for years. I try to find gifts that match the person I’m gifting for. So my mom loves outdoor statues and certain artists like Thomas Kincaid
I really think you did amazingly with the backgammon game , it’s in such mint condition and well made vintage 🥰, the cashmere scarf and pretty much all of the vintage items you picked up…😂 oh and the apron was such a great find too ! I’m truly amazed at the number of items you picked up “new with tags”. Your tips are fantastic, you certainly know your thrifting and family! What do you do for family members/others you are not close with whose home/style and hobbies you are unsure of ? I definitely give thrifted, vintage gifts when I find things for the people I know very well but I struggle with those I don’t know very well. Maybe I should know what they “ALL” love but 🤷🏻♀️ it’s a reality for today’s blended families (most are nowadays) sometimes we only see them during the holidays. I never want to leave anyone out for Christmas either or give them a gift that seems like no care was given especially if they’re in my home on Christmas Day. Are there any gifts you’d recommend having on hand for cases like say-a 20 something nephew’s girlfriend you’ve only met twice or an Uncle’s second & “new” wife (over 40) I’d like to have a few gifts on hand for surprise guests as well. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ❤
Our whole family loves thrifting too! A suggestion, with the savings you have from thrifting, consider an extra gift that is experience based. Movie or museum tickets, concerts or plays, imax, aquarium, zoo, zip lining, horseback riding. Even lessons for something they want to learn. Musical instruments, swimming, etc. Our kids are young adults and we’ve started gifting more experience based things. They’re early in their careers and families, don’t have a lot of money to spend for fun, so we try to gift them experiences they would not splurge on for themselves.
That's a wonderful idea for a gift! My sister and I don't gift each other anymore, we have more stuff than we need. We started looking at "gifts of time" for us to spend together. We've had manis and pedis, gone to shows like the Skating Club of Boston's end of year show, a Broadway show, etc. It's clutter free and we get to make memories together. ❤
I was a single parent and then became a single grandparent when my daughter passed away. I have thrifted all my days and have been able to provide for my family. Your outlook is like looking in the mirror. My family is always happy with what they receive. I am so glad I stumbled across your UA-cam channel - recovering from a rotator cuff injury and wishing I could be thrifting! Merry Christmas!
@@wandaehly3006 Oh Wanda, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. That type of grief may change over time, but it never goes away. I love your heart and your spirit of thankfulness. 😊 I wish we could thrift together!! 🤣 Praying for complete healing of your rotator cuff and that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!! 💛💛💛
Last Christmas I found a beautiful big jar with a lid for my daughter. I made her favorite cookie and filled the jar. First my son in law, I bought a Pyrex baking dish with lid at a thrift store. I filled it with his favorite cinnamon rolls. ❤
@@TarmoAlholinna I picked up 2 lovely blue pottery storage jars with tight fitting lids which I’m going to fill with snowflake shaped butter cookies to give as gifts to friends this year.
Also don't forget discount stores for Christmas 🎄 gifts and stocking stuffers. Like Big lots, Gabrielle s, Ollie's, and Roses. Great places to find unique and cheaper cost-wiae gifts ... ⭐🎄🕯️🎀
Teresa, you thrifted so many beautiful things it's hard for me to choose a favourite but I'm partial to the Argyll sweater and love the cashmere scarf. Such bargains! I have one friend with whom I exchange thrifted vintage finds. I love to receive them.
First time I have been on your channel . I like to thrift. I have told my parents years ago to just buy me thrifted stuff. I mean I have thrifted for years. I have found great things for many years thrifted. I found some used items for our grandkids at thrift stores this year for Christmas for their stockings and then got new. I like to buy house decor thrifted. your house look so cute. Like your open shelf concept in your kitchen.
I am French. From France near Troyes. Thank you for the encouragement for any person to do simple things, with thrift gifts, but with love…It is not a problem of money. When I heard you speaking, I thought it was me who was explaining what I do !!! I was pleased to look at your video.
I volunteer at a charity thrift store and thought your comments were spot on. It amazes me that we still see items new with tags. We also see collections of hard to find items and artwork that has high beauty and value. I really liked your presentation. Thrift for the Win.
I love watching 'gift guide' videos (it's kind of like window shopping!) I will only buy clothing for my Mom and husband (I know what they like and their sizes). For everyone else on my list, I will ONLY buy consumables and gift cards because our homes are FULL and no one wants more clutter!
@@GraceOfGuadalupe This is so wise!! It looks like you have a great system - thank you for sharing!! 😁 (we do gift cards and then I will get a couple of small things that I’ve thrifted. I forget about consumables - that is a really great idea!)
My family knows I am a thrifter and they love my thrifted gifts! I am selective about who I give thrifted items as gifts. Not everyone is open to them. But my family knows I spent a lot of time searching for something I know they will love. I have long had more time than money, so thrifting works well for me.
@@janmcguire5268 Thanks for sharing, Jan! Yes, it is the way to go when you have more time than money - I’ll bet you’ve had some amazing finds over the years. 😁
I am an avid thrifter and have been for many years. I cannot tell you how many treasures I have found and I think more people should try finding unique gifts while thrifting. Children especially can learn how important it is to find a new home for things.
As you were talking, I went online and bought the Hummingbirds book from eBay for my brother in Phoenix. He is 81 years old and has hummingbirds in his yard. Thank you!
8:59 Just a thought... from birth to high school graduation, if you spend $20 on each gift, but with thrifting only spend $5, put the difference in a savings account for them & they get the $ at graduation.
Great thrift stores you have to shop in! I love to shop in thrift stores all year long but never thought to buy for someone else ! Snobbish I guess , but I'll keep it in mind. Thank you Teresa ❤
@ Thanks for watching, Brenda! It definitely helps to start with buying new things with tags for others !! Another thing I do a lot is thrift a food container, like a ceramic loaf pan or a beautiful pie plate and then I bake that item and gift the entire thing. When you tell people you don’t need the pan returned, no one is wondering if it is secondhand!! 😁
I’m in the process of downsizing to sell my house. So after watching your video, I decided to thrift from my own home. Wonderful gifts for everyone - and I get thrift gifts from some of my family so I know it’s ok! And I’ve got a huge scarf drawer to go through!
This year, I've purchased a set of 10 embossed readers digest books from the 1950 for my middle daughter, beautiful gold embossing on jewled toned books. 10.00 for the set. I've gotten a perfume bottle from the 1940s for my youngest daughter, 8.00. For my 20 year old grandson, I got a Vans skateboard from 1980, the graphics are in decent shape, he also is getting a vintage Frank Sinatra Album, total was 28.00. My eldest daughter is not a 2nd hand girl, but I did find her a snowbaby from 1987, she collects them. It was 4.00. perfect condition, still in the original green box. So, for 50.00, I've had a great time hunting down perfect gifts that my family will love.
We draw names in my family and encourage each other to make a gift or thrift a gift if possible. We all love thrifting, it's the thrill of the hunt! When my older granddaughter was about 13 she said she loved thrifting for clothes because she then didn't look like everyone else.
@@jennetthamilton971 I love that idea of making a gift or thrifting one!! I think my kids love a Thrifting came when we began to give them a clothing allowance twice a year starting in junior high. They realized that they could buy one pair of fancy jeans or an entire wardrobe at a thrift store. 😂 Thanks for sharing, Jennett!
Absolutely loved your video. It makes so much sense to shop in this manner. I enjoyed the way you presented every item and also the tips that we all can use! Love it!
New subscriber here. I do enjoy thrifting & depending on the recipient's willingness to receive thrifted gifts, I do think it's absolutely fine to give them. Such gifts aren't everyone's choice so you must be aware. I love to receive thrifted items as gifts. You can really find some treasure's while thrifting!
I think there is a lot more new, or very gently used stuff than I saw when I was a kid. Most people wouldn't even know a lot of the stuff from a second hand store is not new. I used to work with a guy who worked park time at Value Village (Canadian Savers). He said a lot of people bought there for Christmas. I didn't believe him, but the more I go now, the more I could picture buying a lot more presents used. I recently went to a baby shower where I bought them a book, and some plates from a second hand store, but they looked new. When I was pregnant, the lady at my local thrift shop told me they got tons of baby stuff new with tags so I should check in often.
@@jenwylie4093 Thanks for sharing this. I can see how things have changed over the years. There is so much excess and because of that we can be more picky about what we like and what we keep. I think a lot of times new things get donated just because people have too much or it’s not their style. You are totally right that thrifting is not the same as when we were kids! 😁👍🏼💛
On the three Haviland dishes, I think they are porcelain. You must have wonderful Goodwills and thrift stores where you are. I live in a big city and we don't have any. You find very nice items.
I'm fortunate that most of my family and friends are happy with thrifted gifts. We have a tiny gift budget, so buying this way means I can get something much nicer for my budget than if I were buying new - and if I find something under budget for one recipient, I can either stretch the budget for another, harder-to-buy-for person or just save the difference!
I luv thrifting! I would say 50% of my home decor is thrifted. I thrift a lot of containers, baskets etc for gift baskets 🧺, I have not thrifted gifts yet, you inspired me. Merry Christmas!
@@Brenda-t6f I am so glad this was helpful. I wish I had thought to talk about thrifting for gift containers… bags, boxes, baskets… thanks for the reminder!!
Your hair drier will also remove glue residue from a lot of things. I scratched a plastic piece with my Magic eraser so am much more cautious about using it on a lot of different plastics.
@craftingforalmosteveryone Good advise! I love magic erasers for non-porous surfaces, especially dishes, but I have heard a lot about it removing paint and damaging surfaces. Those things are powerful!! 😳 Thanks for the tip! 💛
Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift ideas. Lovely finds! Today I found a gorgeous glass platter with a winter scene etched into it at a thrift store for $4.99. I’m going to bake some gingerbread men and serve it on the platter, and add some icing options for my friend’s children to decorate for Santa.
I would love to be the recipient of something thrifted - like a beautiful Pyrex bowl or a delicate china cup and saucer. I would absolutely give a thrifted gift if I found just the right item for just the right person. I do put Christmas gifts into thrifted baskets and boxes.
I found a mouth blown tiered Christmas Tree glass candy dish from Williams Sonoma, never used, packaged in it’s original box. So I went to Williams Sonoma to buy ‘name brand’ candy for it and the candy cost me almost as much as I paid for the dish🤣!!!! Oh well. My brother and his husband will love it…they are BOUGIE!!!!
@@paulagratefulnoend9683 Haha… what a fabulous find!! It sounds like the perfect gift for them!! 😂 It’s truly amazing what you can find at thrift stores amongst all the junk!! Thanks for sharing 😊
I haven't thrifted Christmas gifts yet, but all year, I thrift special baskets for my kids and grandkids for their Easter baskets. I found one that I looked up, and it is actually a piece of art worth over $400. My granddaughters mom has put it away for her for when she's older.
The Blister book was my favorite. By pure coincidence I was getting ready to read. You gave the ending😩😂. Honestly the fishing shirt is awesome. Those are a hot item up here👏👍
Just subscribed! I have been giving thrifted gifts for years! I try to find things that are practical and connected to someone's interest. Today I found multiple gardening books, a grocery bag full for .50 cents!
@ I really enjoyed your video. You had spent time thinking about the right gift for the right person and was able to share your experience with us. Excellent finds! I don’t have many thrift stores close by but I do believe in donating and purchasing from thrift stores. I am currently decluttering my house and I take my donate boxes to my favorite thrift store and the owner lets me pick out a piece or two of glassware. She is definitely getting the better deal, but I am getting rid of my stuff and she is getting something to sell and I am adding to my collection of glassware that someday my sons will throw away, but in the meantime, I enjoy. Merry Christmas.!
@ I am so glad you are enjoying that glassware now!! The whole point of decluttering is to get rid of the excess so we can focus on the things we really love!! Thanks for your kind words! 😊
What a great video!! Thank you! One more tip, I'm a knitter, and every once in a while, I can find beautiful, natural fiber yarns, even hand dyed, for a small fraction of brand new at thrift stores. It takes patience, but if someone were to gift me gorgeous yarn I would be thrilled.
@@kimmyk3640 Hi Kimmy! That is something I will try to remember in the future - Thrifted craft supplies are such great finds!! And handcrafted gifts are a treasure! 😊
I love thrifting and mostly only buy thrifted items. My clothes are thrifted, my books, my kitchen items like dishes, etc. anything I need or not 😊. I also buy thrifted for my adult kids and grandkids. I also have a UA-cam channel and plan to put up my thrifted gifts video this week. I had wanted to add it already but I’m just getting over Covid. Not fun. I’m enjoying your channel. I’m Canadian 😊
@@tanyajohnston8262 Hi Neighbor!! Glad to have a viewer from Canada! I would love to check out your channel - can you send me a link or give the name? 😁
I love shopping second hand for many things. I figure, if I save money on a lot of things I want for my home, I can buy a few more items that are better quality. The gifts you found are wonderful and thoughtful. Thank you for all the ideas!
You have such a soothing voice! I love this subject. I found a special gardening book for a friend for $1, and she loves it! Thrifting is the best way to go.
I thrift all year for myself, my husband, kids, and grandkids. I love the book section, I have found some real treasures including new Bibles still in a box. I’ve also found lovely crystal pieces.
First time watching one of your videos and I really enjoyed it. You have great ideas and a lovely way of putting things together. Have a Merry Christmas.
I love to buy my decor, and items I need, I make over the items to fit my taste, I get my entire out fits from good will it takes a while, I can get new or like new clothes for my grandkids , our youngest grandchild is 3 , I found many books for him, he loves books , like new or never have been read🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️
@@margaretalbert69 Right?!! I actually bought it for myself and then I realized that my daughter would really love it. The sacrifices we make for others.. 😂😂😂

@@debbiefletcher4781 Thanks so much for your encouragement, Debbie. I love that we have this in common. Blessings to you as you prepare for the season!! 😊

Thank you for a great video showing wonderful thrifted gifts. I loved all of your gifts but my favorite one is the little scissors 8n a box. Scissors can be passed down for generations. I have my Moms pinking shears and they will go to my daughter. Gifts from the heart❤️
I enjoyed your video. I gift a lot of second hand finds for Christmas. I often am able to give a very nice , high end item, that I would not have been able to afford. For instance, I bought a set of nice flower pots for my grand daughter for Christmas.

Wow! You got some great gifts! So many great choices it would be hard to pick my favorite! I have thrifted just a couple of new things for gifts. I am trying to watch out for these great bargains. Love thrifting!

@@lorimecikalski3079 Hi Lori 😁 Welcome to the Peaceful Home!! I think there are two things that contribute to my good finds… First, I live in a smallish town and we do have three decent thrift stores, but often I head out to some of the bigger towns over an hour away. Second, this is my haul over probably the last 6-7 months. Many times I might find one item or walk out with absolutely nothing. It does take some diligent searching! 😂 Thanks for sharing.
Love this! Wish I had Some really good thrift stores in my area! There are none! I have no issue receiving thrift items as a gift. Woukd love to be able to bimutly thrift items!
@@gaylefarmer5946 Sorry, Gayle! I hope that changes for you. Thrifting is definitely only increasing in popularity. I do often drive over an hour to some bigger towns to thrift and I definitely thrift when I’m traveling!! Thanks so much for watching! 😁

Are you thrifting this year for gifts?
Love the white dishes, teapot, brass taper holders and vintage backgammon set.

Now that you mention it, they do look like porcelain! I need to look them up.
Thanks so much for watching and for commenting!! 😁
I'm fortunate that most of my family and friends are happy with thrifted gifts. We have a tiny gift budget, so buying this way means I can get something much nicer for my budget than if I were buying new - and if I find something under budget for one recipient, I can either stretch the budget for another, harder-to-buy-for person or just save the difference!
@@pippas5808
That is a really smart way to give!
Thank you for sharing!! 💛
15:48 you could double up some gifts as well... the cookbook with the apron, the dish towels with the wooden fork & knife
Great idea!! 🤩❤️
I luv thrifting! I would say 50% of my home decor is thrifted. I thrift a lot of containers, baskets etc for gift baskets 🧺, I have not thrifted gifts yet, you inspired me. Merry Christmas!
@@Brenda-t6f
I am so glad this was helpful. I wish I had thought to talk about thrifting for gift containers… bags, boxes, baskets… thanks for the reminder!!
The Mr. Clean magic erasers take the sticky stuff left behind from price labels. Just wet it and rub it on the spot.
@@sandrahubard251
Sandra, I love magic erasers, but I’ve never heard of using them for this. Thanks so much for sharing!! 😁
never heard of that! thanks for the tip!
Your hair drier will also remove glue residue from a lot of things. I scratched a plastic piece with my Magic eraser so am much more cautious about using it on a lot of different plastics.
@craftingforalmosteveryone
Good advise! I love magic erasers for non-porous surfaces, especially dishes, but I have heard a lot about it removing paint and damaging surfaces. Those things are powerful!! 😳
Thanks for the tip! 💛
I've had magic erasers remove the sheen from plastics. Instead, use Goo Gone, oil, or a hair dryer.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift ideas. Lovely finds! Today I found a gorgeous glass platter with a winter scene etched into it at a thrift store for $4.99. I’m going to bake some gingerbread men and serve it on the platter, and add some icing options for my friend’s children to decorate for Santa.
@@JoySkydancer
What a great find and a sweet gift!
Thanks for sharing!
14:34 love the graphics in the book!
I would love to be the recipient of something thrifted - like a beautiful Pyrex bowl or a delicate china cup and saucer. I would absolutely give a thrifted gift if I found just the right item for just the right person. I do put Christmas gifts into thrifted baskets and boxes.
@@FrugalCraftyVegan
Yes, I love to use thrifted containers for gifts as well. Thanks so much for watching and for commenting! 😊
I found a mouth blown tiered Christmas Tree glass candy dish from Williams Sonoma, never used, packaged in it’s original box. So I went to Williams Sonoma to buy ‘name brand’ candy for it and the candy cost me almost as much as I paid for the dish🤣!!!! Oh well. My brother and his husband will love it…they are BOUGIE!!!!
@@paulagratefulnoend9683
Haha… what a fabulous find!!
It sounds like the perfect gift for them!! 😂
It’s truly amazing what you can find at thrift stores amongst all the junk!!
Thanks for sharing 😊
I haven't thrifted Christmas gifts yet, but all year, I thrift special baskets for my kids and grandkids for their Easter baskets. I found one that I looked up, and it is actually a piece of art worth over $400. My granddaughters mom has put it away for her for when she's older.
@@callikohl5698
Wow! Such a great idea! Thank you for sharing.
$400 has to be the highest value of a Thrifted item I have heard of yet!!
🤩🤩🤩
4:06 Another cute scarf!!!
@@gramcc514
Yes! My mom will love it. I have thrifted some awesome scarves over the years!
We thrift gifts all the time it's so much fun to find that perfect piece.
@@gettingjamieback1888
It is!! The thrill of the hunt! 😂
The Blister book was my favorite. By pure coincidence I was getting ready to read. You gave the ending😩😂.
Honestly the fishing shirt is awesome. Those are a hot item up here👏👍
@@MikeSchneider-wz3ol
Haha… next time I will give a spoiler alert! 😂
That teapot is awesome.
The number of times I have found brand new, never used items at the thrift store means people never have to know they were thrifted!
Just subscribed! I have been giving thrifted gifts for years! I try to find things that are practical and connected to someone's interest. Today I found multiple gardening books, a grocery bag full for .50 cents!
@@patriciacollier3920
Hi Patricia, welcome to the Peaceful Home! 50 cents is incredible - great find!! 💛
12:05 beautiful teacup! I'm unsure if it could be made into a candle, but I'd definitely love sipping a chamomile tea out of it!!!
@@gramcc514
I have seen the candle teacups, but I have never owned one/made one.
Super cute idea!! 😊
We have that same backgammon set. Many hours spent enjoying such a nice set!
@@sparrowsfriend
Ohhh, nice!!
Thanks for sharing and for watching!!
@ I really enjoyed your video. You had spent time thinking about the right gift for the right person and was able to share your experience with us. Excellent finds! I don’t have many thrift stores close by but I do believe in donating and purchasing from thrift stores. I am currently decluttering my house and I take my donate boxes to my favorite thrift store and the owner lets me pick out a piece or two of glassware. She is definitely getting the better deal, but I am getting rid of my stuff and she is getting something to sell and I am adding to my collection of glassware that someday my sons will throw away, but in the meantime, I enjoy. Merry Christmas.!
@
I am so glad you are enjoying that glassware now!! The whole point of decluttering is to get rid of the excess so we can focus on the things we really love!!
Thanks for your kind words! 😊
You’ve got an amazing Goodwill. Great finds!!
@@kristieoren1294
Thank-you, Kristie!
I appreciate you watching! 😊
What a great video!! Thank you! One more tip, I'm a knitter, and every once in a while, I can find beautiful, natural fiber yarns, even hand dyed, for a small fraction of brand new at thrift stores. It takes patience, but if someone were to gift me gorgeous yarn I would be thrilled.
@@kimmyk3640
Hi Kimmy! That is something I will try to remember in the future - Thrifted craft supplies are such great finds!! And handcrafted gifts are a treasure! 😊
I find yarn alot here in Iowa.
@
Definitely a nice find! I used to crochet quite a bit…need to pick it up again. 😊
Thanks for sharing!!
I love thrifting and mostly only buy thrifted items. My clothes are thrifted, my books, my kitchen items like dishes, etc. anything I need or not 😊. I also buy thrifted for my adult kids and grandkids. I also have a UA-cam channel and plan to put up my thrifted gifts video this week. I had wanted to add it already but I’m just getting over Covid. Not fun. I’m enjoying your channel. I’m Canadian 😊

Thanks, Sandy! I appreciate the encouragement! 😊
I love shopping second hand for many things. I figure, if I save money on a lot of things I want for my home, I can buy a few more items that are better quality. The gifts you found are wonderful and thoughtful. Thank you for all the ideas!
I love your strategy! Very smart!
Thanks for watching! 😁
You have such a soothing voice! I love this subject. I found a special gardening book for a friend for $1, and she loves it! Thrifting is the best way to go.

I enjoyed your video. I gift a lot of second hand finds for Christmas. I often am able to give a very nice , high end item, that I would not have been able to afford. For instance, I bought a set of nice flower pots for my grand daughter for Christmas.

@@lorimecikalski3079
Hi Lori 😁
Welcome to the Peaceful Home!!
I think there are two things that contribute to my good finds…
First, I live in a smallish town and we do have three decent thrift stores, but often I head out to some of the bigger towns over an hour away.
Second, this is my haul over probably the last 6-7 months. Many times I might find one item or walk out with absolutely nothing. It does take some diligent searching! 😂
Thanks for sharing.
I have that cast iron cook book it’s a great book ❤️❤️❤️
@@judyluchies2492
That is so funny…I t’s good to know you like it - I think my daughter will love it! 💛

@@gaylefarmer5946
