Presents from Charity Shops

Is it socially acceptable to buy christmas presents from charity shops?

I am in a quandry as I have seen and bought something for someone but don't know whether to givew them it knowing full well it was in a charity shop. Don't get me wrong it looks unused and is spotless but I worry that the intended recipient won't see it that way. What are your thoughts on this?


Views and thoughts please.

Christmas Time

I have taken inspiration from another blogger.

This year everyone will be getting one hand made present.  I have already started on the wrapping paper.

Newspaper with pretty ribbon and printed with reindeers and stars (potatoes with designs cut into them)

It has taken weeks of planning and on my rare day off I have added some more and left them to dry over night in the garage, even the two boys next door are in on it. They love making the wrapping paper for me for no real reason other than to throw paint around.

Pictures will follow. I am wanting to start doing a daily blog butr I am so busy that I am finding it hard to even eat at the moment.
