If you're stumped on a gift to give a friend this holiday season, maybe you should hit up the local Goodwill !
A new survey asked people what they thought about giving SECONDHAND Christmas gifts. It was framed as an Earth-friendly move . . . to pass along a "pre-loved" item to avoid waste.
23% of people claim they'd consider buying a USED gift to prevent it from going to the landfill. Nearly 40% would shop secondhand to try to get a bargain . . . and 31% would do it in the hopes of finding something more unique.
19% said that they'd feel "grateful" to receive a used gift for Christmas.
So what kinds of used gifts are we talking about?
Books are #1, which makes sense. DVDs are next, followed by toys and games . . . jewelry . . . ceramics and ornaments . . . CDs . . . vinyl records . . . video games . . . arts and crafts . . . and bags and purses.
