Preloved Gift Guide: Sustainable Gifts for the 5 Women in Your Life
What do Christmas, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, and birthdays have in common?
A celebration’s always made sweeter with a gift!
From designer dresses to vintage clutches and hard-to-find designer bags, preloved gifting can be made all the more special when you get to check dream items off a loved one’s wishlist.
Why buy preloved gifts?
Today’s buy-and-throw-away culture is all the more rife when it comes to festive gifting. From layers of wrapping paper to excessive gift set packaging, the current culture of gifting weighs heavy on our environment.
Is there a stigma to buying secondhand gifts?
The thought of receiving a ratty and used secondhand item as a gift is enough to turn one’s nose up. But, who said that all secondhand gifts have to be half-used, tattered, and worn? With a dose of good judgment and a discerning eye, you can find many secondhand items in pristine conditions that are quite literally as good as new!
Loving the idea of preloved gifting?
We’ve rounded up our picks for the 5 women in your life:
The Busy Mom
For the busy mom in your life, roomy totes and shopping bags with plenty of depth are a great and thoughtful choice. We love one-and-done dresses and tops too, in stretchy fabric or in free sizes to accommodate that wide range of motion that comes with chasing after the young ones!
The Shopaholic Sister
For the sister (or anyone, really!) who’s a shopaholic, you’d win their hearts if you snoop about for their shopping wishlist. Trust us, they have one at the ready. If they don’t, you won’t go wrong with these unique and stylish preloved designer bags or apparel with feminine flounces and prints.
The Eco Warrior
If you have a sustainability guru in your life, preloved gifting is the only way to go! We picked these preloved designer bags that give a nod to the nature lover in them. Planning to gift preloved clothes instead? Pick items of their individual styles that they’d wear over and over again!
The Bold & Beautiful BFF
For the sister (or anyone, really!) who’s a shopaholic, you’d win their hearts if you snoop about for their shopping wishlist. Trust us, they have one at the ready. If they don’t, you won’t go wrong with these unique and stylish preloved designer bags or apparel with feminine flounces and prints.
The Lady Boss
Whether you’re gifting for a workaholic friend, or your actual lady boss, workwear staples are where it’s at. We love classic black styles that add dimension through a pop of colour, or with intriguing details that go from subtle and mysterious to bold and fierce.
