Give it some thought. Second- hand stores aren’t all stained sweatshirts and worn-in shoes.
In reality you can probably find something unique and personal for everyone on your list if you think about it.
Music geeks love vinyl, computer geeks who tweak can go gaga over old computer parts, antique collectors swoon over treasures in some thrift stores and there is more quirk than you can handle for brothers, sisters and friends in any one of these shops.
And you can save a few bucks in the meantime. Just get out there before it’s all picked over.
