One of the things I look forward to on New Year’s Eve is playing board games with my family and friends. As a child, it was one of the only approved nights my siblings and I were permitted to stay up past midnight. So, to keep our eyes open to ring in the New Year, we’d play board games. Like many, we loved the classic Hasbro board games such as Trouble, Sorry, and of course, Monopoly. So, imagine my excitement when I saw these and many others available for less than $5 at the Ashdale, VA Goodwill!

November is a good time to think about thrifting your gifts, for the Winter holidays and other gift-giving this season! And, oh so many people love dragons. How much more so when they’re thrifted — in addition to being more impressive in the usual ways, you and your recipient also know you supported a great cause.
