#Tis #Season #Amazing #Deals #Thrift #Gift #WorthPoint

Take the stress out of your holiday budget: thrift your gifts this year.

The holidays can be an anxious season for those of us who like to adhere to a budget. How can we possibly respect our financial boundaries when temptations like eggnog, peppermint bark, and vintage Christmas decorations are lurking around every corner? Even worse, how can we find quality gifts when just about every store window (and email ad) is beckoning us to prove our love with an expensive purchase?

For those who are stressed this season, we at WorthPoint have good news. There’s no need to make your wallet cry over the holidays. When seeking out those special gifts for the special people in your life, we have some tips to help you save your extra dollars and find something amazing!

How, you might be asking?

  • Step #1: Hit up your favorite thrift store.
  • Step #2: Make sure you bring along the WorthPoint App. It’s a great way to find exciting collectibles worth more than their price sticker might suggest, especially if those collectibles are in their box and sealed like new!

What a find! A never-opened Lego Clone Wars set.

As the holidays creep up on us once again, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to show off one of our favorite toy finds and take a deeper dive into the evolution of LEGOS. Join us as WorthPoint’s VP of Editorial Content, Eric Bradley shares a bit of background on this toy and as we consult the WorthPoint Price Guide to see how much it might be worth.

Millennial collectors and toy enthusiasts will be especially interested in this particular find. Inspired by the trilogy of “Star Wars” movies that came out in the 2000s, this Clone Wars LEGO set is sure to thrill the slightly younger collector in your life.

Although some gift-givers might think it’s an act of poor taste to tell your friend how much you spent on their gift, a true collector will probably enjoy hearing the story of your deal as much as they enjoy the gift itself.
