Thrifting Christmas Gift Shopping! Is It Worth It? Comparing Prices! Budget Second Hand For Gifts!

Hey party people!! I am SO excited about this video! I went to the thrift store to snag some christmas gifts for the people in my life! I love shopping second hand, saving the environment and saving some money is what I'm all about! And if you can find something amazing at the thrift store that is basically brand new for a fraction of the cost, why not! I hope this video inspires you to head to the thrift store to see what you can find for christmas gifts and I bet you'll be surprised! This isn't my usual thrift with me video where I tour the isles full of clothes, this time around I really shopped the perimiter of the store and shopped the toys and kitchen and knick knack kind of thing! I really made out with a ton of amazing basically brand new things that I will be gifting many people in my life! In particular we have a lot of neices and nephews and cousins come over when 'santa' comes to visit and I usually grab a bunch of random toys from five below or something to give the kiddos - a lot of the stuff at five below is ... below quality haha so I was REALLY excited to find so many toys for santa to give the kiddos this year that will last them a while! I found a lot of arts and crafts and got a ton of inspiration for christmas gifts for everyone and even stocking stuffers! Happy thrifting! Thanks for thrifting with me!
Kim!

I'm watching this as I sit with my sick baby in the hospital (RSV). If anybody reads this, please pray for him. He's only 3 months old. Thank you for creating such positive, comforting videos, Kim. ❤️

Kim! I was innocently drinking a cup of tea when you said, “I’d be mad if someone put my food in a maze!” and I nearly choked. I’m still laughing! (My cats do have food puzzles.)

[@TigerG16]

Wow that thrift store is legit! I thrift all the time and have never seen one so organized and well stocked.

[@katmd405]

I wish my local thrift store had great stuff like yours.

[@fragilefleur]

Amazing thrift finds! Made me want to run down to ours and browse. Very smart to get the kids big clunky plastic toys there and not new like dollhouses, etc. Loving that your house has a croquet set now. You have the most fun friendly house ever. What I love the most is your desire to please the masses and sit back and just smile that they are all happy. Hope you have a great weekend!

[@EmilyCheetham]

No the wedding one is - something old new borrowed blue. The gifting saying is something they want, need, wear & read.

😂 nailed it

The blue circular bag looking thing with a zipper is a baby beach tent... We have one and love it! We have used it in sand and good old fashion dirt.

[@reneeroxanna]

I love the price comparison on the side. I shop like that at all stores. I always look online to see if it’s significantly less 😊❤

[@sushilover1980]

Loved this video! You found so many amazing deals, and I really appreciate that you inset the retail prices. It just reinforces what incredible prices you’re paying!

[@SimplyStacyL]

Your thrift stores are so much better than mine! Color me green with envy.

Good Morning! Love these “Thrift with me” videos. I want to go treasure hunting with Kim! What a great way to start my Saturday! 🎉🎉🎉

One of my friends saw a Polar Express train set on her local Buy Nothing page and picked it up for me! I love Christmas and would never have found such a gem.

The cat food maze if to slow the cats down if they are eating too quickly causing indigestion & other stomach problems. My family own a cattery and we sometimes use them for the cats that come in.

[@cottagefulloflove4090]

This was SO FUN! Seeing all the comparable prices added to the fun.

Love second hand finds! This was so much fun Kim. Please do more of these when you can. Thanks for taking us along.!

Thank you!! Still need one more pay day to even shop at a thrift store. Great finds.

[@allisonw6762]

Oh my, I don't think I have been to a thrift store with so much inventory. This was a good video. I think putting up the original prices was interesting. Thanks for introducing me to new brands I am unfamiliar with. I didn't miss you trying on clothes. Your cart was so full! Thanks

[@Edithlane]

Love the tea set. I hope she does too.

[@craftmom5302]

I absolutely love thrift shopping and getting gifts for people from the thrift store and watching their face after they say. Oh I love it. Thank you so much when you tell them where it came from. Normally my friends and family are like heck. Yeah, that's awesome. Thank you for thinking of me. So I really think your kids will be okay with it. You have really well-grounded kids. And I think they will appreciate anything that you give them like my kids. I am able to provide a really good Christmas for both of my kids every year on a fixed income. 'cause I do. Thrift shop and yard sale shop, etc. And Clarence items are normally only by clearance items. But I do all of this throughout the year. I have designated space for everything I find and so throughout the year. I'm just picking up things here and there. For both of my kids. And I really love the fact that a lot of the youtubers are now doing this or showing that they have been doing this for a long time now. Because it kind of normalizes it and when you're poor sometimes you just need to do what you need to do to make sure your kids. Have the best Christmas. They get threatened presents for their birthdays and easter all of The fun holidays things ectopic 😊❤

[@traceysabolevski4920]

Holy cow your thrift store is amazing! I feel like whenever I go to one it’s just junk!

[@Kaycee973]

Kim! Oh my gosh, my grandma got me that bunny tea set when I was a child and I had completely forgotten about it until just now when you looked inside the box! I’m tearing up remembering the hot chocolate parties my sister and I used to have with it 😭 Thanks for the nostalgia!

[@theabnormalmom]

I had clowns in my bedroom too...and I hate clowns 😂

[@Mysticsoul77]

The sprinkler and the Bunch O Balloons would be great for an Easter Basket. Perfection that game Is why so many adults have anirxty now.

[@kierrahenequist3725]

I am inlove with the tea set you got 😍 she will love it , who couldn't!!!

[@lucyroberts2800]

Teaset would come with a milk jug ( creamer) maybe a sugar bowl and a teapot , cups and saucers but lots of people give these away

[@MET3279]

“I’d be so mad if someone put my food in a maze” lollllll Kim you’re the best.

[@madzabinga8382]

The thrift stores in your area make my thrift stores cry themselves to sleep on their humiliated pillows.😅

[@Melissa.Scott1]

Your thrift stores are GOLD compared to mine! 😅 so big and spacious AND organized! Only a little bit jealous.

[@fasteddie4905]

Hi Kim l love when you take me along thrifting with you You have such big stores compared to us l would definitely buy a few handbags and tea cups l sort of have an obsession with them 😂😂😂😂 Thanks for the great video Cheers from Linda in Australia 😊🌲

[@traceykillam1658]

Most tea sets that have the tea pots and creamer and sugar, and normally 4 tea cups and 4 saucers are costly. Most are fine bone China and they are costly. 50.09 is a decent price.

[@Janie-56]

Your thrift stores are so much better than those we have in Omaha.

[@shereemorgan1430]

Your thrift store is amazing! I have never seen one so nicely stocked and neat. Happy Holidays!

[@aidenalamo6262]

I think your kids would love Kids Christmas Baskets which are similar to a Christmas Eve box in the UK. You can put their Christmas pj's in them, books, candy, small toys, etc. There is a video by a woman named Vickii Vickii on which she shows her kids Christmas boxes.

[@juliefuller7750]

Kim, I truly can't thank you enough for bringing joy to my world. ❤

[@eileencarroll6418]

Easy GLITTER CRAFT: Get clear plastic ornaments from the DT. Remove hanger-caps and put glitter inside. Add enough Mop and Glow and use gravity to move the glitter around inside the ornament. Dry upside down in a used egg crate and replace hanger-caps. The Mop and Glow dries clear and will last for years. Every ornament will be gorgeous; NO WRONG glitter dispersion (inside the ornaments). Might be a good backyard project. I don't know how to remove Mop and Glow from ceramic tiles. ❤

Did you see Amazon was having a sale on their books? A lot of them were around $1-2 shipped. There was a $5 off clip coupon. There was a lot of Halloween and Christmas books. But regular ones too! Idk if it’s still going on but check! That would make your book wall so easy!

[@brittanyk3241]

I love this! Can we please start to normalize thrifting for gifts? Especially kids toys. I thrift for many of my daughters Christmas gifts (and toys in general) but would love to do this for my little nieces and nephews for Christmas and maybe birthdays too...not sure how their parents would feel about it but Christmas gets soo expensive even with saving monthly for a year! 😅 That and kids change interests so fast. It kills me buying new when thrift shops are filled to the brim with perfectly good items!

[@paigecochran6071]

So far I've thrifted my two kids (2 and 8 months) a few of their gifts. I'm going again this weekend. We thrift because it's good for the environment, it's good for our wallets, and they're likely going to break the toy anyway 😂
