Give a Gift That Means More This Christmas

Why gift someone a regular Christmas gift when you could give them a landfill diverting, emissions limiting, water sparing, chemical avoiding, homelessness reducing, local community supporting, preloved Christmas gift?

This Christmas, Salvos Stores are encouraging Aussies to ‘Give a Gift That Means More' by shopping them secondhand. Gifts from Salvos Stores mean more because of the added benefits that come with preloved gifts, including the contributions that your purchase will make toward protecting our environment and supporting local communities.

We know that preloved gifting is a new concept to some of us, but when there are so many extra benefits to secondhand gifts compared to those bought from mainstream retailers, why not give it a go?

Every purchase you make at Salvos Stores goes towards supporting The Salvation Army's network of over 2000 vital community programs and services across Australia. These programs provide a helping hand to the members of Australian communities who need it most, including people experiencing homelessness, women and children escaping family violence, people struggling with substance abuse issues, and those suffering through financial hardship. Gifts bought at Salvos Stores will not only make your loved ones smile, but go towards making the lives of those in need just a little bit easier this Christmas.

In addition to acting as a donation to community programs, your preloved gift will also 'mean more' because it will come with the reassurance that your Christmas shopping is not hurting the environment. In the last year, our customers have helped Salvos Stores save over 42 million items from landfill! When you buy a gift at Salvos, you are not only helping us continue our mission of giving as many preloved items as possible new lives in the Circular Economy, you are buying one less gift from mainstream retailers that may not have the environment's best interest at heart. Even buying one of your Christmas gifts secondhand instead of brand new can make a positive difference!

There are so many great quality, affordable gifts that mean more waiting to be uncovered at your local Salvos, or online at salvosstores.com.au. Whether your loved one is partial to tugboat sweater vests, vegan recipe books, vintage video game consoles, or something even more unique, you might just be able to find them the perfect present at Salvos Stores. And it will be made all the more meaningful by the social and environmental good behind your purchase.
