I started this a few years ago. I started thrifting as many intentional small gifts and baskets for all my handmade gifts i made family. Last year i made simmer pot kits, beer bread jars, strawberry jam, herb butter and homemade dog treats my grandpuppies- I also included thoughtful gifts for each person i got at craft shows, thrifting, like books, etc. i made paper chain decorations and this year i am making dried orange and cinnamon stick garland- it is definitely a little women Christmas! I LOVE my version of thriftmas and making handmade goodies.

My parents had no money when they first started out. So my mom sewed and stuffed all the Christmas ornaments. I don’t even remember having “real” ornaments growing up. The basement flooded years ago and ruined all but 1 ornament that just happened to be upstairs. It’s honestly one of my most treasured ornaments and always gets put front and center.

I’ve been too broke to over consume the last 2 years and honestly it’s so freeing to not feel the urge to buy little trinkets that just clutter my space 😭

I said this just last week. It’s a huge recession indicator & then I ranted how some people I’ve seen are trying to turn it into a trend. Like sis. We’re all poor. You can say you are too. 😂

I don’t know if it’s a recession indicator, or an awakening. All that plastic crap we buy just seems so wasteful and unnecessary now.

For me, I’ve had to look at all the things I’ve spent $$ on and all the crap I see being sold on here to get to a point of being grossed out by it all. My 8 year old has joined in on crafting & has made me the most precious garlands that I’m laminating. It’s so much better.

I had Molly (ww2 era) and she dealt with rations, victory gardens, dad deployed, etc. Wish she had taught us more ab fascism, maybe we could have avoided this mess.
