CHARITY SHOP GIFT SHOPPING | SECONDHAND SHOPPING IN WEST YORKSHIRE | LUXURY FOR LESS

I'm back in hometown this weekend in West Yorkshire visiting my parents, so I thought I would take you charity shopping with me!
In this episode we cover secondhand gifting and find some fabulous clothing. The shop I visited today was The Kirkwood Hospice. The Kirkwood Support Life for anyone affected by a life limiting illness.

Loved this video…I like to Charity shop…one persons trash, is another persons treasure!

[@juneprince-iles8390]

Hello Monica, I have been a charity shop shopper for many years, really addicted. I love your presentation style and have picked up some really worthwhile tips from you like high end brand names. Thank you so much. The little black fascinator suited you so much, you looked like our lovely Princess Kate Middleton. 💕

[@lisafenn4238]

Hi Monica. I discovered your channel today and subscribed.... and suddenly I got a notification that you have posted a video. I enjoyed this so much. I run the steam room in a charity shop and we have some lovely pieces donated to us. I always enjoy emptying the bags of donated clothing , shoes and linens. I never know what I am going to find. xx

[@themonicaway.]

Oh thank you so much Lisa! I’m flattered and so lovely to hear about your work in the charity shops!! ♻️😍😍😍 x

[@lisafenn4238]

@@themonicaway. My pleasure. Very much looking forward to more of these videos from you. You are a breath of fresh air xxx

[@The_necesssary_gentleman]

Great Videos .. I work in a charity shop in West Sussex - really interesting to see other shops layouts & pricing. Liked & subscribed..😊

[@katrinsouthern9317]

Love your tips, love the fact that you point out strengths of items you don't like for yourself and particularly love the fact how generous you are in spirit, sharing the details of your favourite charity shop! UK has many good ones. Thanks!💛

[@jillconyers2710]

Love the brown jacket ❤

[@Sharon_Mc]

🇬🇧 I'm so pleased that you managed to get clip on microphone, so that it leaves you ' hands free' for handling the clothing.

[@soniaclarke1171]

Monica, I took on board a previous video, look for small jackets. Today I picked up a linen Beige jacket, one button at top, three quarter wide sleeves. I didn't like the button but had a large pearled one and changed. Love your videos and suggestions to buy out of season too, as may be cheaper.

[@paulinemackie6138]

Just stumbled across your channel for the first time, and imagine my surprise when I recognised the shop as local to me! Not been for a while but I will do now! Really enjoyed this and needless to say have subscribed to your channel.

[@themonicaway.]

Haha, how funny!! Well I’m glad you enjoyed it and thank you for subscribing xxx

[@heatherharder1368]

I want to see what you end up buying!!

[@loisyouings4745]

Hi lovely, just love watching you. Wish our shops were as good as yours. From Australia x

[@themonicaway.]

Hello to Australia 🎉❤ thanks so much for watching x

[@vivianeronneman4281]

I found Vinnies and other charity shops in Sydney really good value.

[@Susan-se6gq]

New subscriber and so enjoying your vlogs. You make it affordable for people to dress smart for occasions and have several different items instead of one good outfit. Thank you.

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much!! I really appreciate the feedback and your kind comment xxx

[@The_necesssary_gentleman]

Hi Monica Great Videos - well presented & very informative. I work in a charity shop so great to see other shops layouts & pricing. Liked & subscribed

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much for your kind words ♥️ xx

[@mansoor3159]

Monica your contents are getting day by day wonderful and I really really love your today's video so so much and I wish you have a best weekend ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@themonicaway.]

Such a kind comment! Thanks so much ♥️♥️♥️ xx

[@annagaches170]

Love your energy and the pace of the videos. Very inspiring. 👍

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! Really appreciated ♥️♥️

[@maureeneverson383]

This shop is a must for me, I have just bought 4 brand new fashion handbags as birthday gifts for my friends here, amazing value, they often seem to have brand new items on sale at a fraction of high street prices.

[@themonicaway.]

It’s fabulous isn’t it! ♥️✨

[@carolinemurray7648]

My best bargain was a discount rail in cancer research for a Wallis petite black jumpsuit for £3 - I’ve worn it loads and absolutely love it - so comfortable and yet glamorous! Gets tons of compliments every time I wear it!

[@themonicaway.]

Sounds divine!!! Thanks for sharing ♥️♻️ x

[@suefranklin1476]

Hi Monica, Great video. I thoroughly enjoy charity shops, as I find when you are styling your clothes, you tend to use your imagination more and I get lots of compliments.Whereas in the high street, everybody is wearing what they see on the mannequins.

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! And couldn’t agree more! Encourages creativity for sure ♥️♻️ xx

[@josephaLangSeb]

Lovely shop, Really nice staff and volunteers 🎉

[@jlcole300]

I have been subscribed to your channel for two weeks now, and I love how you present each shop. I would have to say, you are the best charity shop presenter out there. Your husband does a great job videoing you and your vlog.

[@themonicaway.]

Thank you so so much! That’s so kind of you to say, I will pass him the kind words, I’m sure he will be happy to hear that ♥️ I do also a hire a local art student when he’s not available so I’ll let Emily too xx

[@PatriciaEnright]

Another great video Monica! That's an excellent Charity Shop...hope you got the Brown Jacket..it looked lovely on and will be so cosy in the Winter. Your tips on what to look out for etc are really helpful. I'm so pleased I found your channel and look forward to your next video.

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much for your kind words!! Really appreciated ♥️♥️♥️

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

I'm thoroughly enjoying your channel, Monica. I have referenced your channel on another channel, so hopefully you receive more viewers. Keep up your wonderful work. 🥰

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so so much! I really appreciate that ♥️♥️♥️

[@lindamckenna-qe3ts]

Hi, I’ve just discovered your channel today, I’ve never been in a charity shop before but I’m definitely interested to do it now, I love your presentation ❤

[@shirleyac12]

The fascinator looked perfect . The fur coat was a lovely colour and suited your petite frame. The shop was brilliant quality and very low prices . I enjoy buying charity shop items that look new or looked after . It’s very good to recycle clothing . Often something gets worn once . Why not donate it and let others benefit from an item you won’t wear again ? Coats often are great bargains . Pure wool for example. Lots of new items for sale too like fluffy socks and shopping bags . I have a drawer that I collect new items in so I always have a card, chocs and a little gift for anyone. Some charity shops sell chocolate too ( in good date too) . I enjoyed your video and you have good style and knowledge of a quality item . Take care and happy bargain hunting x

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks for your lovely comment and thank you for watching xxx

[@stephmmcbride9197]

Wow what a great charity shop can't believe they sold high end make up. Never saw that before xx

[@tinacarrol6702]

Hi Monica. Need To Go To Huddersfield. Fabulous Charity Shop. Xx 😊

[@themonicaway.]

You totally do! Hope you find some gems 🥰♥️

[@susiemaclennan580]

Monica I love this video and that coat was stunning ❤ but please include jewellery finds especially vintage🙏

[@themonicaway.]

Thank you! There wasn’t any on this trip but in future I’ll be sharing any vintage jewels I find! ☺️

[@user-jk1qv8jt7p]

You inspired me to go charity shopping and I’ve come away with some real finds, thank you!! Great to see another Huddersfield lass! I’ll have to investigate this Lindley shop when I next go over to visit my mum 😉

[@themonicaway.]

This makes me so happy!! Well done you ♥️♥️😍♻️ deffo take a visit if you get the chance! xx

[@helenstella2666]

Oooh I’d love a good mooch around in that shop Monica! I too collect little bits & pieces for birthdays/Christmas & keep them in my wicker hamper (from a charity shop👍) so I have things when I need them. Did you buy the fascinator? I’m thinking Ascot if you’re going? 😊 Great video, thank you 👏

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much ♥️♥️ I didn’t actually! It was lovely but had to hold back!! 😂♥️

[@julielozano1852]

Love these!!! Keep it up please?

[@Posh369]

great video again! i always tell friends to imagine the items out of the shop - it’s easy to get distracted by the interior of charity shops and not see the vision i feel. xx

[@deenab6476]

Some great gifting ideas there …..thank you ❤

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much ♥️♥️♥️

[@kateedwards3631]

It’s really great fun watching your videos xx

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much Liz! Hope you’re really well xxxx

[@debbiemclarnon2960]

Hi, Monica - just subscribed. I got an amazing bargain from Shelter - a genuine Nomination bracelet with 4 charms. Blown away by it, as l love Nomination bracelets. My daughter, sister & niece all have them too! 🙂👍

[@debrasams2362]

Thanks so much. Awesome video. I'm learning so much what to buy. Did you buy the fur like coat and the headband piece? Great fun!🥰

[@yvonnedonovan4247]

Love your channel Monica. The fascinator was made for you. ❤

[@themonicaway.]

So kind! Thank you so much ♥️

[@nancyott8189]

At about 18:36 in your video, it looks like there is a Royal Copenhagen covered vegetable or casserole dish. I could be wrong, as other manufacturers make dishes in a similar pattern. However, a quick search on the Royal Copenhagen website shows their covered dishes retail for over a thousand dollars Canadian. I love the blue onion pattern, but have never been able to find anything in a charity shop yet.

[@francinepuskarich5755]

Great video

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so so much xxx

[@user-qt7wl2wt5g]

👍 Thumps up for the casmere blend coat from the men's section! I bought all three of my winter coats second hand, all of them wool-casmere-blend and all between 12 and 20 €. They will last a lifetime!

[@tinahowson8335]

Hi Monica, fascinator is a keeper 👌How lucky were you to find branded make up? Brilliant. Thanks for great advice and for sharing. Xx

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! I didn’t get the makeup so hopefully some lucky person gets their hands on it ♥️ x

[@sunshine-bs2jx]

Great video monica 👍

Like most of your choices but not Cape jacket I volunteer in a charity shop & we have some amazing donations I have lots of bargains

[@Sharon_Mc]

🇬🇧 It was a Whisky Decanter.

[@ajohnson2381]

You are finding great charity shops. Great videos and well constructed. Pleased you are not holding the mic anymore, sound is much better. This is TV quality, you have a genuine presentation style.

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much! My dream is to work in tv! ♥️☺️🤞🏽

[@gloriawilde6801]

👍👍👍🇦🇺

[@CocoAvantSarah]

Loving this series! Please tell me you bought the faux fur coat

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much!! Haha unfortunately I already have three so thought I would leave it for someone else to enjoy ♥️♻️ x

[@stephb6759]

really nice clothes

[@themonicaway.]

I agree!! ♻️♥️♥️

[@Sue-np9fp]

Another inspiring video, Monica! just wondering-how come every Charity shop you go into, is empty?! Do you have a special deal, to shop-solo, with them?! Tell ALL!! love sue xxx

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much!!! Haha I do have to set myself a limit otherwise I would buy the entire shop 😂 I usually allow myself 3 items!!! I usually send them a message to ask for permission beforehand and go first thing to avoid filming other shoppers 🥰♥️ xx

[@janettesinclair6279]

@@themonicaway. I am sure most charity shops will be more than happy to let you feature their bargains - free advertising! And as you say, it means you won't show other shoppers in your film.

[@Mommacoconutz]

Those tea light holders are alabaster (not marble) 😊

[@themonicaway.]

Close enough 🤣♥️

[@caroldunkerley9541]

HI MONICA A LOVELY CHARITY SHOP HAUL BUY ALL MY CLOTHES FROM CHARITY SHOPS SUCH BARGAINS LOVELY ITEMS YOU SHOWED TODAY ANDCREALLY GOOD PRICES ❤

[@themonicaway.]

Thanks so much for the kind comment!! ♥️

[@mauracurran3270]

Any larger sizes, Size16 seems very scarce.

[@themonicaway.]

Yes! I saw sizes up to around 22/24 - I have covered up to size 24/26/XXL in other videos 🥰 x

[@heatherharder1368]

Please explain how you can tell if the shoulders fit or not.

[@themonicaway.]

Hello! It’s entirely personal and based on your proportions, but I personally like them to fit as closely to my shoulders as possible as I’m quite small. For ladies with wider hips, a wider shoulder can create a really nice hourglass shape to balance out the appearance of the hips. Have a play with shoulder widths and see what makes you feel best ♥️ Hope that helps ♥️
