NATIONAL DAYAWARENESS

National Secondhand Sunday

Every year on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, pre-loved treasures get their turn in the holiday spotlight. National Secondhand Sunday is the calm, thrifty pause in the shopping stampede, the day to browse, swap, and gift with a little history. In 2026 it falls on November 29, right when the thrift racks are at their absolute best.

3 ways to celebrate

AT HOME

Plan a Thrift Run

research the brands and materials worth hunting before you go, then make a wishlist and set a budget. Treat the racks like a treasure map and celebrate every score like the victory it is.

IN THE COMMUNITY

Host a Swap Party

invite friends to bring five good quality items they no longer use, then trade freely and donate the leftovers. Everyone goes home with something new-to-them, and nothing goes to a landfill.

AT WORK OR SCHOOL

Sell One, Buy One

list one item from your closet on a resale app and use the proceeds to buy one secondhand gift. Show a coworker or classmate how easy it is and start a resale chain reaction.

Plan ahead

National Secondhand Sunday is observed on Sunday after Thanksgiving. Here is where it lands for the next ten years, handy for planners, marketers and party people.
