Is this the year that second hand gifting became acceptable?

Traditionally, second-hand gifts held a stigma they didn’t really deserve, but attitudes are starting to shift. Millions of Brits are now normalising the practice of shopping second-hand, with 42 per cent of people saying they would be happy to receive a pre-loved gift this Christmas.

Not only can pre-loved treasures minimise waste, support local communities and charities, they also reduce shipping delays and are at a more attainable and affordable price point. Regardless of whether the gift is ‘new’ on paper, it will still mark a thoughtful new addition to the person receiving it.
