Rockford’s Scrap Jar Drops a Thrifter’s Dream: A 12-Day Advent Calendar

Everywhere you look this time of year, someone is unveiling a new advent calendar.  I'm not mad about it, I actually love the idea of blind boxes for gifts!  It's become one of my favorite holiday traditions, mostly because it gives you a tiny little surprise every day for a whole month!

Sure, you can get the wine, cheese, socks, candles, pet and skincare advent calendars, but have you tried the Jeppson's Malort advent?  It's 25 days of the same little, disgusting shot of permanent marker.  Yuck.

Now, there's a thrifted advent calendar?!  This is what I've been waiting for!

Rockford’s Scrap Jar Drops a Thrifter’s Dream: A 12-Day Advent Calendar

The Scrap Jar in Rockford just dropped a brand-new, totally secondhand advent calendar.  This is the definition of a beautiful sustainable gift.

They literally said, "we're saving the planet, we're reusing what we can, and we're making it cute!"  And they did all of this last minute, which somehow make it even better!

In their words:

"We made a very cute and very last minute Scrap Jar Advent Calendar!! 😄🎁🎄 I wasn’t sure if we’d have the time (logically we didn’t LOL), but we did it anyway! Very much limited quantities! If you’d like one, you can buy one in store, or you can now order online at our brand new website!!"

 

There are 12 presents to unwrap in the advent and it's only $30.  There's something so fun about not knowing what kind of quirky, vintage, or upcycled item you'll uncover!

It's sustainable joy wrapped up in 12 tiny gifts.
