While I am not that thrifty, and I love prettily wrapped gifts, I don’t like to spend a bunch on wrappings. Some retail stores do still give out gift boxes for free, always check if you are buying in a brick and mortar store. Use free down loadable templates to print your own gift tags. Use paper drop cloth to wrap.

There have been countless times I have seen nearly new, decorator pieces being sold for pennies on the dollar at garage sales because the homeowner decided to re-decorate. Avoid re-decorating your home every few years.

For many, the end of the year holiday shopping frenzy can override our saner, more thrifty selves. However, I wait until spring and summer to buy decorations – and get them at garage sales. Now that they failed to keep their resolutions, some folks are deciding to free up space by donating their last years equipment, or selling it.

Here is a short list of some of my favorite finds at garage, estate and thrift store sales. I used an old seat cushion I had and wrapped it with brand new material from another garage sale to pretty it up and make it softer, then stacked new throw pillows I found at yet another sale for $.50 My ribbon however came from a garage sale.
