This year for my family, I’m framing copies of Grandma’s recipes (in thrifted frames!) with little photos of her and some heather I collected on walks and pressed myself - making it pretty 😍 Hoping they’ll be well-received because she passed 2 years ago and everyone keeps asking me for favourite recipes.

I'm a crocheter and started crocheting little gifts for friends. One friend asked for a scarf and I crochet a little spaceship for her because we are both huge Star Trek Fans. Another friend gets a crochet teddy bear because she collects bears. They also get positive potatoes, which is cute and I am helping one friend with her Vet invoice for her cat, because she struggles to pay the full amount. I am happy to just be invited at vegan restaurants or a cafe :D I don't need anything, I have what I need. The shells in your video at the thrift store instantly reminded me somehow of the movie Demolition Man, loool.

This is my first christmas offering 100% sutainably-conscious gifts so in addition to thrifting many of them, I have purchased from small creators and also plan to offer my parents a gift card to get a quality handmade knife from a Japanese store in my hometown. They make you choose the best fit for you and offer free sharpenings to make sure you keep it forever. It's been amazing because I feel like each piece just has such a beautiful backstory.

A a lifetime frugal and mindful Prepper, I am always prepared for Birthdays, Christmas and other special occasions. I buy almost every used but in new and/or excellent condition. For my little grandchild, I never worry that she is not yet old enough for something, if I find something she would like at a bargain price, I buy it and keep until she is old enough for it. Sometimes, I buy materials and sewing notions to repair or make gifts and other items. Being frugal is a way of life that allows one to live like a queen on a shoe string budget!

That iron looks really nice and broken in. I am Slovenian decent and make rosettes every year. The older, more used irons work better and release better. That was a great find. I love the art that you bought for your Dad as well. One of my friends is very open to thrifted gifts, which I love about her. She collects Coca Cola items and I found a 90s Christmas Coke glass mug with a bear for the handle. I am going to fill it with chocolates for her.

We went to a small town thrift store. We walked in fron the back near the dumpster. A employee was breaking glass. I looked in the dumpster he was crushing mugs. He said my boss told me to destroy them. They could have offered them for a cheap price or given them away. Instead they added to the land fill. We love thrifting!

Thrift shops in my city won't accept mugs anymore (except like China or vintage), I took some to my work for the communal kitchen we have but everyone's doing that so the cupboards are overflowing, and everyone I know has boxes of mugs in their basements. There's just way too many mugs. And what did I get for Christmas from my coworkers? Mugs.

this year I found christmas gifts at the thrift store more by accident. I didn't actively look for something, but stumbled upon a little glass bowl printed with geese on it. My grandmother's entire kitchen is goose themed and it its perfect. I will fill it with her favourite sweets... likewise I found a cookbook about the Scottish Highlands for my mum - half cookbook, half history. We used to holiday in Scotland once a year and she truly loves it.

To clean your iron utensil, I would first of all use soapy water and a brush with plastic or natural bristles. Once you cleaned it very well, brush oil on it and let it sit for a while, perhaps even over night. Then I would use a tooth brush to work on rust and the likes. Oil is wonderful treatment for old iron! And you will keep treating it when you use it and dip it into hot oil. Good luck, it would be lovely to see how you got on with the restoration!

All your gifts are perfectly lovely. I'm an old-time thrifter...started in 1974 when I graduated high school and moved out on my own. I would say that I've only purchased NEW items in a department store a dozen or so times in 50 years. Things made in the past were made considerably better and hold up for years and years. I congratulate you bright younger people who understand that. Please tell me what the iron tool is. I couldn't quite understand it in your language and had no luck internet searching. Thank you. Merry Christmas to you and yours!🌲

Merry Thriftmas!! My siblings have agreed to all make or thrift our gifts this year and it's been so fun! And for the iron: rinse in really hot water (you can boil a kettle and pour over it) and scrub with a stiff brush, it likely won't look perfectly clean but that is OK. And let it warm up in the oil a bit the first time you use it.

I really love the clip-on earrings. It would be hard to choose which ones to wear. The black dangley ones look amazing with the hat. Then I'm loving the colours on the earrings before that. What a cool design with the scarf and such a lovely colour. Every time I see a green glass, I think of you 😆 I have a thing for blue glassware like what Monica has in early seasons of friends.

The vintage umbrella is sooo beautiful ! Maybe to make the repair last longer, you could glue a little piece of nylon fabric with fabric glue along the hole. If you just stick the two parts together, with the tension at the opening, it may open again. I've been thrifting or DIY my christmas gifts for years now. At the begining I was afraid people would think I'm cheap but you can find so many beatiful things in second hand shops. I found the most cute mini wooden duck bowling game for my nephew a month ago ! The only things I'm bying new are books because I usually have specific titles in mind and it may be quite hard to find what you want in second hand book shops. Sometimes, I'm lucky but if not I chose to go to independent libraries. Another thing we have to normalize is to search in our houses things we have that we don't use and that could make a good gift for one of our relatives. For instance, I tidied my office and found several notebooks I didn't use and I don't really need 5 notebooks ahah !

With my friends we do a game with Christmas where we wrap things that are nice but we don't need anymore (like escape room games, vases, drinking ware, books) and do a game where we swap, steal and switch.

We do a toy exchange with some friends and it’s wonderful! We send each other pictures of what we have to donate that our kids are done with or have outgrown and then we exchange items. We almost never have to buy anything other for kid gifts as far as toys or sweaters, and we get to make some room for the influx that comes with holiday gifting

I, too, have not been looking at clothes in the thrift store for ages since I have a wardrobe I'm really happy with now, but I am starting a new job in January and needed to expand my "business casual" collection.

I'm so jealous of your thrift stores! In the UK they seem to be getting worse and worse. 😭 I usually give my dad thrifted books that I have enjoyed or think he'd like, and then he passes them on afterwards, and savoury snacks to treat himself. He also appreciates a bottle of wine. I always find quirky little stocking fillers for my kids secondhand, and we also give useful/ consumable stuff that's a bit less essential and a bit more treat-like.

I like doing a holiday craft - different every year. This year it's melt & pour soap. The nature of the beast means buying something new, but there's so much you can do with melt & pour (I did glass soap) that you can make an initial investment and then have something to give to pretty much everyone you know at a really reasonable rate. And now I have knowledge to probably do it again, plus I don't have to buy molds again

For the umbrella you can use a flexible/fabric glue. For the rosette iron, I would suggest treating it like cast iron and clean it with hot water, no soap. The hot oil will burn anything up.

Love you and glad to find you! I just went shopping with my daughter and granddaughter yesterday. The local outlet mall now has plenty of vintage shops along with a fancy Goodwill. So interesting to shop vintage, versus Pottery Barn. I found several great items I haven't found new and a few gifts. Most consignment booths have 10-25 % discount for Thanksgiving weekend/ Black Friday sales. My friend will be getting real leather Thinsulate lined gloves ($15). The last time I bought new leather gloves (pre-covid) they were $50! She loves thrift stores, so she won't be offended. The quality of new stuff is getting so much worse, thrift stores are a godsend. Love pink glass and jadeite. Thank goodness it is pricey, because I have a tiny apartment. 😂 I do use the ones I have. Try to avoid items that are purely decorative. I bought a new small air fryer last year half price and it is pastel pink 😊. TFS I look forward to binge watching you and seeing new content.

A lot of our gifts will be handmade, pre-owned, or were a "pay only shipping" deal. I have the FreePrints Gifts app, which offers a certain item free (pay shipping) per month. I take advantage of a "free" gift whenever it makes sense to do so. Sometimes a handmade or pre-owned gift helps with gift budgeting, sometimes it doesn't. Hoping to go thrifting and yardsale-ing more often next year, as well as have a more realistic handmade gifts plan, to actually reduce our gift expenses.

Hej Gittemarie, Just stumpled upon your video, great thrift finds you got there. I would love to see the 'crustadejern' working. One thing, that confuses me, when you say e.g. 'seven quid' do you mean seven British pounds or just slang for seven Danish kroner - or maybe even seven bucks/dollars? It makes quite a difference which currency you are referring to. Happy holidays!

Hi Gittemary, I've just heard on the radio that plant based milk is a hell of worse for the planet than dairy! Oh gawd!! Have you heard anything about this? HELP!!! Luv n respect, Hwyl, Taffy Nige from South Wales 🤘✌️

It isn’t - at least I have never seen any reports or studies that conclude this 😅 what they are probably referring to, because it’s happening in DK as well, is a study about ultra-processed foods, and plant milks are processed (so is dairy though), but plant milks are placed in the same category as cakes, sweets and fast food, which is received a lot of criticism, because nutritionally they are not alike (some plant milks do contain sugar, but others don’t). A lot of articles are making some general claims that isn’t backed up by the studies they are referring to 🫢 but overall, it is a good idea to choose a plank milk with low sugar content, or make your own, that’s definitely worse for the planet

Do your parents not watch your videos and see what gifts you bought them, Gittemary? 😅 I love those linocuts so much! The style and colours are gorgeous. Would be really cute to have a matching linocut with your dad, ie. You have the forest on and you gift him the ship one, but i understand the stuggle to have nowhere to put it 😅 I love that you've been thrifting gifts for your family and friends for so long 😊 Hope you have a lovely weekend 💚 Side note: Mathilde IS so nice! She just looks so happy and wholesome all the time 😊

the minimalist values seems to have been lost in this one. That cristal? pastry iron.. how often will you use that? expensive, big and bulky to store... that seems like something that should be co-owned by a group of friends, neighbors or family

Hi Gitte, there is something that really confuses me in a lot of your videos. You keep saying the price of something is so and so many quids. What currency are you referring to? It's hard to convert to a currency that I know, when I dont know which currency it is you mean :)
@Gittemary
@Gittemary Ай бұрын
It’s GBP ☺️ - it’s the currency I know best in relation to the Danish Krone 🫶

Probably, but that isn’t necessarily feasible or desirable for most people - gift giving and receiving gives people a lot of joy, and really contributes to a sense of community

Please maintain your ethnicity and try to avoid using trendy American phrases, as an American, I can assure you you are unique in your culture and do not need to sound ridiculous like most young Americans sound.
