It’s Saturday, November 27,2021! We are officially in the holiday shopping season! We’ve all visited Eastpoint Mall in Dundalk! White Marsh Mall in Rosedale and of course Arundel Mills Mall by now. Our local neighborhood stores such as Walmart, Roses and Family Dollar also have cool items for your Christmas list. Online shopping is always popular with the best deals and prices. Did you know that there were a few other places to find the perfect gift for your loved ones on a budget? Baltimore’s Best Stories has you covered this holiday season! Some of our neighbors have taken a new approach to their holiday shopping and we think you will love it too! It’s not to far. In fact there’s probably a store located right around the corner from you. It’s for a creative group of shoppers that are looking for traditional and old fashioned gifts. The signature stores that we are mentioning today has been around for ages. Our Saturday spotlight is on our local thrift stores. Providing discounted prices and bargains are their top priorities. One of our favorite stores to visit is the Goodwill Retail Store and Donation Center on 7928 Eastern Avenue. It is conveniently located near Eastpoint Mall. You can also donate your household items to a family in need. How awesome is that? It’s the gift that keeps on giving! These local stores have unique and priceless gifts that are often hard to find. Going to a local thrift store is like going on a mysterious treasure hunt. You may not find gold but you are guaranteed to find a hidden gem or two. Secondhand items have naturally been passed down from generation to generation. It’s the classical feel of lightly tarnished silverware or frilly lace fabrics that captures the eye. You can find your corduroy coats, pleated skirts and denim overalls here. Be bold this holiday season in rock one of these classic, timeless styles! There’s something for everyone in your household here! From furniture, to appliances and of course slightly worn clothing. You can also find a good variety of hard to find books, records and VHS tapes. You have to visit a local community thrift store to see why they are a trending topic among friends.
