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
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.
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.
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.
