Annual Holiday Boutique
Fanwood-Scotch Plains Thrift Shop
Looking for brand new items at a very reasonable price point to round out your holiday gift list, or to use as stocking stuffers? Tuesday, November 28 is the start of the annual Holiday Boutique at the Fanwood-Scotch Plains Thrift Shop. That’s when shelves are stocked with new items generously donated to the shop all year and set aside for just for this purpose.
From clothing to crafts to candles and more, the Holiday Boutique is a great opportunity to find presents for under the tree, to stuff in stockings, to mark Hanukkah or Kwanza, or even to re-donate to your favorite charities. You can also find a wide assortment of new and gently used holiday décor along with the regularly replenished clothing, shoes, bric-a-brac, linens, household goods, toys, games, books and DVDs that are consistently displayed.
The Thrift Shop is located at 1741 East Second Street in Scotch Plains and is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Children are welcome provided they are accompanied by an adult. Bringing a child to the store to have them pick out presents for their family or friends is a great way to teach them the value of money while encouraging them to take pride in picking out presents on their own.
Also note that a gift bought at the Thrift Shop has twice the impact—one to your recipient and another to our community. All store proceeds outside of operating expenses are donated by the Fanwood-Scotch Plains Service League to local non-profit organizations or used for student scholarships. What a great way to spread holiday cheer and to support the spirit of giving!
