As we become more aware of reusing and recycling products, especially in a world of fast fashion and disposable items, the trend of buying second-hand is growing, and what better time to give a second life to pre-loved items than at Christmas!
Shopping for second-hand gifts is not only kinder on our pockets, but it’s also kinder on the planet, reducing land fill and helping our environment. Plus, supporting your local charity shops is a great way to ‘give back’ and raise much-needed funds for important causes.
Luckily, Clapham Junction is home to a great selection of charity shops where you can rummage through a treasure trove of vintage gift ideas – jigsaws, books, children’s toys, electrical items, gag gifts, boutique designer label bargains – you could even find your Christmas party outfit at a snip of the price, or the loudest Christmas jumper, ready for Christmas lunch!
To discover the perfect gift of thrift this Christmas, here's our Charity Shop guide…
From all of us at The Junction BID, we wish you a very Merry Thriftmas!
