With the holidays around the corner, gifting is top of mind for everyone so I want to remind you that you can find unique, luxury gifts at the thrift store and eBay. Trust me when I tell you, it is not cheap or in poor taste to gift second hand. There is so much thought and creativity that goes into second hand gifting and I’m certain friends and family will appreciate that, plus the fact is more sustainable.
