It’s school holidays next week so I had to go for a walk to Bunnings for something and thought why not have a good look at the second hand stores on the other side of the road?
So I did.
Sometimes you don’t really know what you are looking for until you start looking and because it’s a second hand store they may not have the exact hobby you are looking for. So it’s good to be open.
I started looking for craft and my children have always enjoyed craft and I feel it’s quite relaxing for everyone. So I found some baking cookie cutters. And no I do not bake but I thought the kids could use them for something, either as a stencil or some play dough designs.
Moving on, I found a good kids book. Don’t be afraid to look at books at second hand stores. I just see if the cover looks in good condition and the side of the book showing the pages if it’s clean.
Next second hand store, I did even better. I found three more kids books in perfect condition for 50 cents. I found a boardgame, a complete set for $3.
I found a brand new dinosaur egg that you have to carve out a unicorn or fairy and I found a cute unicorn ornament.
Between both stores I spent $15.80. I had a full bag by the end.
It is so cool to have second hand stores where you can buy things for school holidays and it won’t break the bank, plus you can get several items to help give them stuff to do that is fun over a few days/week.
Do you enjoy going to second hand stores and if so please share in the comments what your latest find was.
Happy hunting.
