This article mentions estate sales, but there are many thrift, resale, and antique/collectibles stores which offer some decorative and useful vintage treasures for frugal gift giving.
"Thrift stores, flea markets and antiques stores are treasure troves for candy dishes, sugar bowls and creamers, one-of-a-kind dinner plates, unusual coffee mugs, decorative trays and silver-plated butter knives — all perfect for packaging homemade treats.
If you're not into antique glassware but have a china cabinet full of gifts from a relative, regift them. A friend who admires your Depression-glass iris and herringbone pitcher will treasure it. Fill it with homemade candy and tie a ribbon on the handle. No need to wrap." Read more here.

About Me
- Alexandra
- A homeschooling mother of one teenager and a little. In 2001, I resigned from my 13 year position as a case manager to homeschool my oldest who was a preschooler at the time, and later a daughter who came along in 2005. This is by far the hardest job I've ever loved. My husband of nearly 20 years supports us as a fire fighter and EMT.
