5 Thrifty Ways to Boost Your Thanksgiving
In this Thrifty Thanksgiving blog, we explore all the ways VOA Thrift can help you prepare for a festive holiday.
Thanksgiving is all about gathering, gratitude, and giving back—but it doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank. With a little creativity (and a trip to VOA Thrift), you can host a memorable holiday that’s both festive and affordable.
5 Thrifty Ways to Boost Your Thanksgiving
1. Grab & Go Decor
Need a quick way to make your home feel festive? VOA Thrift has shelves full of seasonal finds—think cozy candles, unique vases, vintage glassware, and autumn- themed accents that instantly transform your space.
2. Place Settings + Serving Dishes
Whether you’re hosting two guests or twenty, you’ll need extra plates, serving bowls, and utensils. Stock up on serving trays, pie plates, and platters—your guests will never guess they were thrifted!
3. Guest-Ready Comforts
Out-of-town guests coming to stay? Pick up extra blankets, pillows, or linens at VOA Thrift to make their stay cozy and comfortable. You can even find classic board games, puzzles, and family-friendly movies to keep everyone entertained after the feast.
4. Declutter & Donate
Before the holiday rush, make room for guests (and gratitude!) by decluttering your home. Gather gently used clothes, décor, or household items you no longer need and donate them to VOA Thrift. You’ll free up space, simplify your season, and help support community programs through your donations.
5. Get Creative with DIY Decor
Feeling crafty? VOA Thrift is full of hidden gems perfect for DIY projects. Turn thrifted candlesticks into elegant centerpieces or repurpose glassware into festive vases. Come up with your own ideas or check out this blog for DIY Table Decor and this blog for a DIY Cake Stand.
