Christmas Shopping; Frugal Mama!

[Bookworm]

I don't see any problem with buying previously used stuff for presents. My parents bought my children my children used items off kijiji for xmas as they are on a super tight budget. I don't mind at all.

I think it is fantastic. I also bought some items used for my daughters. Let's face it, a lot of the time kids toys are hardly even played with so there is no difference to the kids and you get more bang for your buck.

I bought a used dollhouse for my oldest for Christmas and I was surprised that my dad had an issue with it. When I asked why (because I took offense and felt that my gift was not "good enough" for his granddaughter) he said he doesn't like that the stickers get all messed up. Heh heh, turns out I learned my dad is a bit of a perfectionist! He wasn't judging me, he just wanted my daughters to have a ice Christmas.
