Hi Natalie! I’m Hungarian, and the Herend brand porcelain is actually hella expensive. They are labeled as a “Hungaricum”, basically meaning they’re a “national treasure”. The porcelain company has actually opened a couple of stores internationally, and their products have been a favorite of many millionaires. I’m quite sure the piece in the video is a standard set, and nothing special but it was still great seeing how far these items have traveled!
Great frugal shopping. Starting 2025 I write people's names down and shop all year for those on my list. I also write the items i get for them down and wrap them all year.
The scuffs on the amazing luggage will come right off with a magic eraser! Love your show! Thank you for being awesome and sharing everything with us!!!!
I love thrifting... and your gifts were great!! My sister is a little freaked out about thrifted anything... but when I am very selective and don't offer the info that it is thrifted unless she asks... but if she does ask... especially if she loves the gift ... I always tell her... PS she is well aware of my thrifting because I have a vintage market booth and a lot of my decor is thrifted which her and her husband love and always comment on it and say they want to make their house more interesting and more cozy. .. and they know that 90% of what I have as my decor is thrifted, vintage or antiquary but with a modern eclectic flare. So fun! Great job!!
love your videos! those gold bambo style frames at mark 5:03, i have been trying to thrift for so long to go with this mirror that i thrifted. those were beautiful! love from San Antonio!
I’ve started watching your channel. I went thrifting today and followed your suggestion about buying quality fabrics. I scored some lovely tops that were either 100% cotton or 95% cotton with 5% spandex. I also got some gorgeous leather booties for $9.99 (Aldo). Thanks for such great advice
If our Goodwill was even a fourth of this and had anything decent in it I would consider going there. I would never in 1 million years find these type of things at our Goodwill.
You could donate a new in box kid's toy for Christmas when you come across them. I've purchased many toys over the years as gifts for children for the holiday time. It's a nice feeling to help and do something nice for people in need.
Absolutely!! Also children’s books! After school programs here will put out a need for books. I’m always able to thrift excellent books and a lot that have both English / Spanish (which they specifically request).
You just popped up in my feed, so I came by to look around and say hi... Thrifting is my life and I do live sales on RUclips... So happy to find you!!! Come by for a visit sometime! 🙂
Oh I’m going to go grab a basket for my besties Xmas gifts, we are getting together next week to exchange! We always put our gifts in something that can be reused.
So glad I found your channel. Do you feel like any of your friends or family would not like a “preloved” item? Any ideas of how to remove or lighten the stigma? Thank you.
So glad you found my channel! For me, gifting is all about the thought behind it. I absolutely love giving and receiving gifts-it’s definitely my love language. When you gift someone something secondhand that’s thoughtful and personal, it really shows how much you care. It’s interesting because a lot of vintage and antique items are highly sought after, and they’re secondhand too-but people don’t always think about them that way. If someone seems hesitant about preloved items, I’d try starting a conversation about overconsumption and how there’s already so much out there in the world. Sometimes reframing secondhand as unique, sustainable, and special can help shift the perspective!
So people don't mind used gifts? Im new here and just subscribed. Lol I love this idea but I'm wondering if the items you purchase are loved if they find out they are used?
I love thrifting too. Love your videos. Are your videos sponsored by Goodwill? I like shopping there, but I'm not a fan of their business model. They continue to raise prices, and exec salaries, but they do not treat their employees very well. They take desperate or disabled people and slave work them. It's really sad. I sure miss the old Goodwill.

I love thrifted gifts. People seem to put more effort into to the perfect gift.
The towels for the animal shelter is a lovely gesture!!❤
Linens are always needed at homeless shelters. Toys, too.
Great frugal shopping. Starting 2025 I write people's names down and shop all year for those on my list. I also write the items i get for them down and wrap them all year.
Love that you got those towels for the animal shelter! 😊
Another good idea is cashmere /wool or alpaca scarves or throws that might have holes from moths.
The scuffs on the amazing luggage will come right off with a magic eraser! Love your show! Thank you for being awesome and sharing everything with us!!!!
Yes!!! I love magic eraser for thrift finds!!

Just found your vide, I subscribed. Love the video.
Crystal wine decanter is great, but be sure it’s not led crystal. Or glasses with led crystal. You can’t drink alcohol out of led.
I love watching your videos! Helping the animal shelter and sustainable shopping in one! Love it!
Thanks so much! So glad you are here!
very nice.
great
I would love to get a thrifted gift!

Quick question! I have a wallet unused at home but without original packaging and tags. Do you think it would be ok to gift? 🎀
Yes!! If there is someone who you think would use it, it would make a great gift :)
@CuratedbyNatalie Do you think they would think it was used seeing as the packaging is removed? 🥰
So people don't mind used gifts? Im new here and just subscribed. Lol I love this idea but I'm wondering if the items you purchase are loved if they find out they are used?
Hello Natalie, I live in Houston. Which goodwill do you go to buy by the pound. I would love to visit it one day.
The Herend tea set is an amazing find!!! That porcelain is super expensive and widely sought after!! I wish I could find that for $5.99!!!
I thought it was absolutely adorable! I loved the bows so much 🥺. I could tell it was a quality piece.
❤❤❤❤
I am so afraid of bringing bed bugs home from a thrift shop. That is the only thing holding me back... Any tips?
what adress is this store please
I will admit, I was bummed out when I found out the easy bake oven was just a lightbulb in a plastic box. Lol it ruined my childhood.😂
Literally! My mom was trying to tell me but I would not listen. The commercials were so convincing 😂😭😅
💝💝🎁
So...do you launder your thrift finds before giving them to people?
Yes!! I clean all the items :)
Goodwill in TX is so much better than CA
Hello im from Philippines its my first time to comment cause i love it
Wish u can send me some ❤🎉
Good thrifter but Goodwill is a for profit company. Salvation Army and Vincent de Paul are better choices .
I love thrifting too. Love your videos. Are your videos sponsored by Goodwill? I like shopping there, but I'm not a fan of their business model. They continue to raise prices, and exec salaries, but they do not treat their employees very well. They take desperate or disabled people and slave work them. It's really sad. I sure miss the old Goodwill.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but buying gifts second hand is tacky. I don't know of a single person who would appreciate a thrift store gift.
I have never seen anything but trash there
Eww, girl if you gotta buy my present at the thrift store, you just go ahead and save that money. I don’t need something that bad. 😂😂
Do you think things bought in the mall aren’t touched, returned, been on the floor? Can tell your ego is high, and love waste
