Scoring Great Thrift Finds in January: Our Top 2 Tips

Say goodbye to the January blues and enter the season of affordable thrift finds!

Thrift Tip #1 - Nab Unwanted Gifts!

Ah, January! The month of regifting!

Charity shops and online marketplaces like Vinted are bursting with unwanted gifts that didn't quite make the Christmas cut.

And the best part?

Most of these items are brand new, un-opened, and a fraction of their original retail price!

An ideal chance to purchase that £60 skincare set you've always wanted, Chloe123 on Vinted got it for Christmas and doesn't care for it... yours for £20 plus postage...nice!

Treat yourself to a nice gift set or if you fancy it, stock up on this year's gifts. There is MONEY to be saved here!

Search ‘gift set’ on Vinted or check out the BRIC-A-BRAC section in your local charity shops.

Act FAST...the best gifts go quick!

Thrift Tip #2 - January sales: Don't forget Depop!

With the red sale's posters taking over your local retail park and the big discounts hitting your favourite online shops too, don't forget to check in with your favourite Depop shop.

Most shops will offer a January discount- some as much as 50% off!

Sellers often use this time to shift old stock ready for the new year so this is a great time to find a bargain!

Use the filter to search for items on sale in the Depop app.

And that completes our top 2 tips for thrifting in January. Will you be buying your gifts upfront this year? Or treating yourself to someone else's unwanted gift set? Let us know!
