5 Ways To Stretch Your Holiday Dollars

Preparing for the holidays can be stressful. That's a fact.  Between decorating the house, holiday parties, fighting your way through the mall on Black Friday, the holidays can also be really hard on your pocketbook. 

Good news!  Your friendly neighborhood consignment shops can save you a bundle.  Here are 5 quick tips to help you keep more money in your pocket this holiday season.

1. DESIGN:  Is the family room or dining room looking a little ho-hum?  How about a new dining room table and chairs that can fit the whole family?  Maybe the perfect love seat and area rug?  Consignment furnishings can cost well below retail and be of exceptional value and quality.
2. DECORATE: Look for unique pieces for every room in the house. Don't forget holiday pillows, a colorful throw or pillar candles to bring in a pop of color.
   
3. SHOP:  You can find the same old, same old at the outlets and malls.  Find something truly unique for everyone on your list by shopping consignment.  A piece of art, a designer bag (many with the tags still on!), gorgeous one of a kind jewelry, or even a basket filled with Waterford crystal, holiday plates paired with a bottle of wine.
4. GIFT:  If you can't find the perfect gift, consider purchasing a gift certificate to your favorite consignment store.
5. CONSIGN:  When you consign regularly, you put REAL money in your pocket all year long. Plus, consigning helps you stay organized.  

We look forward to helping you with ALL your shopping needs this holiday season!
