00:00 Here are three ideas for Christmas presents that you can buy that are second hand.
00:04 First one is things like slippers and dressing gowns.
00:06 You can always find these still brand new with tags and with a little bit of searching
00:09 you can generally find high end brands at really reduced prices.
00:13 Number two, you can get picture frames like these from Vintage.
00:16 You could also look on eBay or in charity shops.
00:19 If you're buying for a family member you might get a photo to put in them.
00:22 Number three is beauty gift sets.
00:24 This one's from Vintage but you see these all the time in charity shops at really, really
00:28 reduced prices.
00:29 Here are three ideas for pre-loved Christmas presents that you can buy for kids.
00:33 First one, maybe obvious, toys.
00:35 Here are the different toy categories that are available on Vintage.
00:38 Next one, teddies.
00:40 I love this company called Love Babble London, the soft toy adoption agency,
00:44 who clean up, fix, refurbish old soft toys to make them new again to go to a brand new home.
00:50 Which I just think is one of the most wholesome things in the world.
00:52 Third, every kid needs them, wellies.
00:54 Again, thousands of pairs available on Vintage, loads of them new with tags.
