I'm making gift baskets for my neighbors. I found a pristine deep dish pie pan which I will get some canned pie filling, thrifted holiday plates and some tea towels. Might even throw in some handmade pot holders!
It's amazing to see how much though that have gone into all these gifts. And even more wonderful to listen to all the beautiful ways you tune into and pay close attention to the people in your life. You know their hobbies, style preference and overall lifestyle. I'm sure they will be so happy with all these gifts!
My mom thrifted our gifts all year long for us as kids. We always had the nicest and most unique gifts. One year she found me the trunk that went with my Kirsten American Girl doll. I was so shocked to get it! Now I try my best to thrift as much as I can for my kids too
I love how thoughtful you are with your gifts. Over the years I have received items that are new and maybe even expensive, but none were as thoughtful as the items you have found for your family, and even for the little boys you mentioned. We tried to make a "thrifted only" rule for our family members, but it didn't work. I do get very nice items from one son. He has a special knack for finding things at estate sales that are right on target with our likes.
This was a great video. I started years ago thrifting for my vintage Christmas ornaments. I also thrift for my Christmas gifts. My family and friends get excited when they receive them.
I'm glad I came across this video. I really enjoyed it. WE do thrifted gifts. My favorite one ever was when our daughter was little. I bought a fancy dress and hemmed it to my daughter's length. She adored it and used it for dress up for several years until she outgrew it. The bread plate you got your friend looks just like one I received for a gift 43 years ago, so it is possibly quite an old piece.
Was that the Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread piece? It was my favorite of the vlog. LOVED it, and as I said elsewhere, I would have bought it for myself.
Sweetheart. I think you have found your calling. You are providing a wonderful service with your videos and you're helping SO many people. I have all my Christmas gifts bought for this year, but you have convinced me that im starting with thrifted birthday gifts for everyone for the new year! I am SO looking forward to this! Thank you very much, and im so happy i found your video tonight. Merry Christmas!
Wow I ran today and yesterday boy did I find so goodies,one sister want a potpourri pot, one wanted a coffee polater ,one wanted a cup holder all vintage pieces I had so much fun
I loved this! This year I’m focusing on handmade gifts but I need to start looking for gifts at the thrift store when I’m out and about! Christmas and birthdays! Such a good idea!
The mug at 16:14 could also be gifted to someone who loves to paint. It would look really cute with some paint brushes in it and a pad of paper and paints to go along with it
I love this so much!!! I grew up thrifting and going to garage sales, not only do you save money but you find the COOLEST stuff that you could never find new in the store. One year we did a "garage sale christmas" and it went amazing, I found a brand new Victoria's Secret necklace that I gave to my secret santa! It might sound silly but shopping secondhand also always leads us to the things we really need. Definitely one of the benefits of growing up with limited means.
Yay! I've been waiting for you to upload! I always thrift the majority if my gifts too - this year my husband and I found a balance bike for my two year old for $10!
I just found your station and I am now one of your subscribers. You have great taste in what you chose to give as gifts! Everything seemed very thoughtful.
Merry Christmas!! This is such a lovely vlog. I really like the small "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread" platter, and I would be friends with your Mom because I also love Currier & Ives. The beautiful signed bowl for Anna is a great find. I would have grabbed that myself. To each their own, but I don't thrift shoes or pants. Rats, I wish I could have seen the final look of your gifts, thrifted items paired with purchased items. Great job, my dear.
Just a thought. You may want to run back to the thrift store. The give us this day metal bowl comes inside a wooden bowl. My mom had one when I was a kid. It would be great if you could find that part also. This is my first time watching you. I really enjoyed it thank you.
My girls and I are avid thrifters. We just love finding things we need or wanted at a great price! I used to thrift my kids Christmas presents when they were little. But now that they’re teens we use our budget to get them a few nicer quality gifts new. This year is hair tools! They’ve never had good hair curlers/straighteners. So I think they’ll be so happy!
@@dawnm5834 that’s awesome! I love that you have kind of changed how you do gifts slowly over time to accommodate their personalities and the things that they want and value! 🤎
Even though I've been thrifting my whole life for costumes, clothing for myself and some reselling items, this year I am thrifting all of my gifts and I'm excited to start hunting! Great video!
I would do this if my local thrift stores had things that weren’t worn to the bone. I live in a lower income area, and we use our stuff till it dies. So, thrift stores aren’t the best. But, I am glad you were able to find such lovely things!
I’m new to your channel and just subscribed. I so enjoyed your finds! Thanks for sharing. The pottery pieces were perfect and the clothing items were precious!
I love thrifted gifts. So envy bout the danish dough whisk. When you are a little crafty you can try to buy a jar and but in the dry ingredients for a cake (cake in a jar) and print out a nice recipe.
I wish I could feel good about giving thrifted items as gifts. Aaaahhh... I am watching this and am trying to figure out why I couldn't do it. Lol I think I will start with Christmas mugs. They look new and I found a couple really cute ones. I used to work in a nonprofit thriftstore called Blessingdales. My job was to sort through peoples donations lol and I hated it. Maybe that's why I feel so iffy about giving used gifts away? Anyway, I loved the bread plate you are giving to your friend. Yay I found my firstborns entire outfit for his christmas concert for $10... pants, button down and tie ALL brand NEW. 🎉
Goodwill has lost their minds.... and whoever pays Goodwill their asking prices are just ridiculous. I stopped shopping at Goodwill a long time ago. They are expensive they don't give you a bag and they've eliminated fitting rooms... so if something doesn't fit, they would not give you your money back, just a store credit! Terrible business practices.
Exactly in NJ a tshirt is 5 and up dresses 14.99 and some coats 49.00 gift boxes 4.99 baskets are 4.99 and up .candles 3.99 and up. It's all donated and I'd rather give to a shelter .
My husband and I were just saying that so many people will be or have to be making or thrifting gifts for Christmas with all the cost on other things that you have to get. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I always tell people, "Feel free to buy secondhand for me. Not only is thrifted ok, it's preferred! This is esp. true for books and vintage Hello Kitty collectibles." I gasped at the giant embroidery hoop you left behind at one thrift store. I sure wish someone would gift that as a gift for me! lol Two friends and I thrift for each other all year round. The boxes may or may not arrive for Hanukkah/Christmas/a birthday. They appear when they appear. Our general rule is, "Don't worry about a holiday's date. Just send it when the postage won't wrinkle your weekly budget." We text the tracking number when a box is en route. I also thrift for the oldest daughter of each friend. We know what each other collects, our hobbies, and shoe and shirt sizes and tastes. I have another friend who sews a lot of baby clothes for all the babies always being born in her big, extended Catholic family. She knows what kind of vintage fabric to look for for me when thrifting (including buying an old garment or sheet to cut down for fabric), and I know what laces and trims to source secondhand for her. Also, my mother and I happily exchange secondhand gifts. We both have a list of what the other is keeping an eye out for so we'll know what to spot while thrifting, yardsaling, etc. I have 2 aunts I'll thrift for toward collections but not otherwise. And, I raised my son to know the power of buying secondhand books. He'd rather have a stack of used books than 1 new one. This is as true at 26 as it was when he was 6!
Just remember to take the price tag off! My "friend" got me a used candle for $1.00 from Goodwill for Christmas. Meanwhile, I bought her a $100.00 village piece When I bought some used but clean books for christmas, she stopped talking to me.
Oh no, that’s not cool. 😂 I would just kindly let them know that next time you’d prefer a new item or a gift certificate if it’s a close enough friend of course. That sounds like a terrible experience
We draw names at Thanksgiving and decided this year to go with 5-10.00 gifts. Can be handmade, store bought or thrifted. I’m excited to see what everyone comes up with. We have 4 children and 11 grands and 1 great grand. I always feel bad for the two that don’t have spouses to receive a gift from so I always remind them that we will continue to buy gives for everyone.
So I’m into thrifting big time and I don’t completely thrift all gifts but my question is before you give clothing do you wash it or just give it as you got it? I know stupid question but I bounce between washing it or not. Some people being allergic to different detergents and all
I wash everything in a ton-toxic fragrance free laundry detergent I bought from Truly Free. If someone is allergic they will probably wash it themselves with their our wash when they get it I would think though!
@@mikelikesmee possibly. I don’t think my close friends really watch my RUclips every video since they are in my week to week life and they also aren’t super big RUclips watchers to start with but if they do it’s okay with me.
I’m definitely becoming more aware of it as I make more videos. Part of it I’m sure is because I always film and voiceover unscripted and am not sure what exactly I want to say until I say it -so I think that comes through in my voice and how I speak
Those “travelling towels” made of linen are called tea towels in the U.K. We use them to dry hand washed crockery and cutlery, and they are often bought as souvenirs or gifts when we travel. What do Americans use to dry a mug or fork when there aren’t enough things to make the dishwasher worthwhile?
@@JehanineMelmoth we use tea towels or kitchen towels - I just had never seen a towel with so much detail and specifically for a souvenir so I was intrigued!
So far I theifted new candles new ouzzles wrapped fur like two each there mirmal twenty to thirty dollars in the store. I bought a vintage leather jacket fur one if my daughters, snd all kinds of jars snd dishes that I.out honemade soaps snd candles in its the thrill ufbthe hunt. U never kniw what u fune. But I dint gonto place like Good will. I got ti smaller church tyoe theift stores, chyrch rummage sales, and estate sales.
Those linen towels are not for travelling. They are souvenir tea towels for drying dishes. They do make great gifts as you can use them as sustainable wrapping that can also be put to use after.You have a great eye though
I totally meant souvenirs but couldn’t think of the word so I said traveling since I thought they were the kind of towels you buy when you travel to being home.
Don’t waste time going to a thrift store. Thrift from your own home instead of decluttering. I’ve found beautiful gifts in my home that I seldom use - and have duplicates!
It’s definitely not for everyone. I will say I think times are definitely changing though. There is a growing movement of people who are concerned about over-consumption, climate change and pollution and those people will always be excited for secondhand gifts. It’s not about budget as much as it is about not contributing to the concerns stated above. 🤎
@@BrittneyLarko most of them don’t watch my channel since they are so apart of my life but if they do that’s okay! Especially since for a few of them I asked some questions about what kind of gifts they would enjoy this year!
Why don't you reuse paper bags, cloth or get reusable bags for wrapping xmas presents. Everyone in my family knows the reusable bags come back to us every year.
@@vickyhendriks5226 my family does this too! We always keep a big laundry box in the middle of the room, and everyone puts the reusable wrapping paper back in there for it to get refused the following year! It’s such a good practice
I’m not doing any gift exchanges, just finding gifts to give my family and friends this year. When my family does gift exchanges we usually draw a name and buy a new gift!

Have you thrifted any Christmas gifts this year?
Not yet, but you inspired me to thrift some gifts this year :) I really love the idea to create towels from cotton material.
I'm making gift baskets for my neighbors. I found a pristine deep dish pie pan which I will get some canned pie filling, thrifted holiday plates and some tea towels. Might even throw in some handmade pot holders!
Not yet, but if my name is on your list, I LOVE Longaberger baskets. ; )
@@Thecasamagana not thrifted but I plan to get the game Candy Land for my three year old from my mom who still has it from when I was growing up
I’m a huge thrifter and always on the look out for gifts for Xmas time. I have a handful purchased that will go under our 🌲
It's amazing to see how much though that have gone into all these gifts. And even more wonderful to listen to all the beautiful ways you tune into and pay close attention to the people in your life. You know their hobbies, style preference and overall lifestyle. I'm sure they will be so happy with all these gifts!

@@Indomita506 my last name is Magaña and my channel is about my family, our life and our home! 🤎
I love thifting for gifts.
I was taught to be thankful and appreciative for any gift given. Its silly to insist on unused items as gifts.
how wide is your mom's stocking that will open for a book?
@@Lark_Vivian our stockings are giant, like a traders joes bag even!
I would not buy gifts at thrift stores. I do buy gifts at Consignment stores on occasion.
It’s a personal preference for sure! I love that both options are out there!
I was told once if you have to give a second hand gift don't give it at all as you can't afford it. That stayed with me all my life.
It’s definitely not for everyone.
I will say I think times are definitely changing though. There is a growing movement of people who are concerned about over-consumption, climate change and pollution and those people will always be excited for secondhand gifts. It’s not about budget as much as it is about not contributing to the concerns stated above. 🤎
I find lots of brand new items. Also so many items that are barely used & people can’t tell it’s from a thrift store.
@@ThecasamaganaId much rather have a quality vintage or second hand item than something brand new and cheap made with bad materials
Ah i saw my dishes in this video. I got the plates and bowls second hand at 2 different shops. Looking for more to complete my set!
Sometimes we need to “unlearn” things we’ve been taught.
Hopefully none of your family + friends watch this before christmas 0_0
@@BrittneyLarko most of them don’t watch my channel since they are so apart of my life but if they do that’s okay! Especially since for a few of them I asked some questions about what kind of gifts they would enjoy this year!
Why don't you reuse paper bags, cloth or get reusable bags for wrapping xmas presents. Everyone in my family knows the reusable bags come back to us every year.
@@vickyhendriks5226 my family does this too! We always keep a big laundry box in the middle of the room, and everyone puts the reusable wrapping paper back in there for it to get refused the following year! It’s such a good practice
How old are you?!
@@shanndf I’m 27!
@Thecasamagana I'm sure you get that question a lot. Amazing.
I guess this works if other people are giving you thrifted gifts too…
Otherwise, they are buying a new gift in exchange for a used gift?
I’m not doing any gift exchanges, just finding gifts to give my family and friends this year. When my family does gift exchanges we usually draw a name and buy a new gift!
I think it’s literally no different than just finding these items on a really good sale.
Give the shoes to your mom. You won't regret it. I'm running out of time with my parents. We are all running out of time ⏲️
