Homemade gifts are thoughtful and cost-effective, especially when there are many people on your list who you’d like to treat this holiday season. While crafting can get costly, you can save significantly by shopping your local Goodwill NCW for great deals on secondhand supplies and one-of-a-kind treasures perfect for do-it-yourself gifting. In the spirit of giving, read on for 3 thrifted holiday gifts that are sure to bring smiles this season while providing employment services in communities across north central Wisconsin.
Cutting Board Signs
Browse secondhand home décor and kitchen goods for flat wooden pieces that you can upgrade to create beautiful hanging signs, like this amazing piece from Bluesky At Home. With a little creativity and crafting, you can upgrade secondhand cutting boards to make unique and original gifts with fun sayings, stenciled designs or your own freehand flair.
Bath Salt Decanters
Keep an eye out for beautiful glassware and ceramic containers that you can incorporate into amazing gifts. We loved this thrifted crystal decanter filled with bath salts and finished with eucalyptus sprigs made by Uniquely Lesa. Other gifts you can hold in secondhand containers include pancake and cocoa mixes, tea assortments, flowers, freshly made bread and homemade candles.
Themed Gift Baskets
The thing we love about gifting someone a themed basket of goodies is that you can mix and match both new and secondhand items to create a beautiful and thoughtful gift. Shop Goodwill NCW for wicker baskets, mugs, figurines, candles and one-of-a-kind items that you know the gift recipient will appreciate. You can even find some donated items with their original tags still on at Goodwill NCW.
