Holiday shopping can be stressful, especially when you’re shopping for multiple people. It can be exhausting to go from store to store looking for the perfect gift. Not to mention expensive! If there was only one store that could have something special for everyone at a fraction of retail prices… that’s where Goodwill fits in.]]> https://www.goodwill.org/blog/shop/deck-the-house-with-thrifted-holiday-cheer/ Fri, 01 Dec 2023 17:20:27 +0000 https://www.goodwill.org/?p=749885 Winter is upon us, and with that the magical time of holiday festivities. There is so much joy that comes along with the holiday season, gatherings with family and friends, delicious food and fun decorations to keep your spirits up despite the colder days. That is why so many people choose to decorate for the holidays early. In fact, research has even shown that doing so can have a positive impact on your mental health!]]>
