Inexpensive, eco-friendly, and the perfect activity to do with friends in preparation for the holidays: here’s why thrifting the perfect holiday dinnerware is a must for this year!
During the holidays, everybody wants beautifully plated dishes and treats. It’s a nice touch that elevates your meal, or will win you the award of best guest! But for people who are trying to be more environmentally conscious and sustainable this season, thrifting dinnerware is a great (and reliable) option. Read on to find out more about how you can wow friends and family with dinnerware adorned with reindeer, snowflakes, and holiday cheer.
Thrifting holiday dinnerware is not only inexpensive, but can make great party favors that you won’t have to stress about getting back. Whether you’re packaging cookies or sending leftovers, thrifted dinnerware is a perfect option!
You might be hesitant about spending a ton of money on dinnerware that you won’t be using year-round, and thrifting dinnerware is a solution for this! Now, you don’t have to compromise your fun holiday patterns.
Lastly, it’s never a bad thing to start living more sustainably, rather than purchasing new dinnerware every year. Helping yourself and the environment? Sounds like a win-win.
What are some thrifting tips?
The first look around the thrift store might seem overwhelming. Our tip: look at the kitchen aisle or even a holiday-themed aisle. You’re sure to find some dinnerware and decor there!
For those of you who are looking to get the best holiday dinnerware, it’s also a great idea to ask employees when their restock days are. This way, you can get the fresh picks and be the first to view the new batch of dishes.
For some inspiration, feel free to refer to these holiday patterns and designs, so you know what to look for:
Holly ribbons
Christmas trees
Garlands
Wreaths
How should I clean my dinnerware?
To make sure your plates and platters are clean and ready to use, it’s a good idea to wash all dinnerware well with dish soap and warm water. Glass dinnerware is a great way to ensure durability and quality.
What do I do once the holiday season is over?
Understandably, most people don’t want holiday dinnerware year-round. To ensure that your dinnerware is useful, think about sending dinnerware along with your meals or desserts! Not only is it stress-free for both parties, but you will also be bestowing the gift of festive dinnerware to someone else.
To ensure that these can be used throughout the year, look for tasteful dinnerware with holiday motifs. Then, the receiver of the dinnerware can use it, or you might even just decide to keep it for yourself.
Enjoy your dinnerware and happy holidays!
