2nd hand gifts yea or nay? I have participated in several markets this holiday season and noticed that many people do not feel quite right if they buy something to give a friend or relative that they found at a "flea market" My observation is that more often than not the 2nd hand item will be of better quality and purchased at a better price. Instead of superior quality for the most part 2nd hand is associated with being "cheap" or perhaps frugal. This feeling will change, it has to and those not so driven by the consumer message of more is better have already latched onto buying quality 2nd hand and once down the rabbit hole....
These hand made wooden bookends are charming and now SOLD
