Is it ok to do this for everyone from now on?

Secondhand but good quality items for all family and friends? Including my parents? But combining the secondhand with a few firsthand gifts for my parents and best friends?

There are some things to consider regarding gifting secondhand gifts to family and friends:

Pros:

- It's environmentally friendly since it reduces waste and promotes reuse. This aligns with most people's values today.

- It can help spread joy while being more economically sustainable. Not everyone needs brand new stuff.

- For loved ones who value simplicity and minimialism, secondhand gifts may resonate more.

- Combining a few new gifts with some secondhand ones shows you put thought into the perfect gift, regardless of where it came from.

- It can help teach younger generations that value does not always equal newness. Secondhand items still have value and purpose.

Cons:

- Some people may perceive secondhand gifts as "cheap" or lower value, although logically that's not true.

- Your parents and closest friends may expect or prefer new gifts on special occasions to show you placed priority on them.

- People have different preferences - some love vintage and secondhand items while others prefer the feeling of a brand new gift. Know your audience.

- Be thoughtful with the condition and aesthetics of secondhand gifts, especially for people who value appearances. Vintage is one thing, run-down is another.

Overall, I think a combination of new and secondhand gifts is a good compromise for most people. Focus on the thought and meaning behind each gift, not just its "newness". For your closest friends and family, a few higher-value new gifts shows you prioritized them, while the secondhand ones show your care for the environment.

Start slowly, gauge people's reactions and adjust accordingly based on their preferences. But in general, I see no problem with moving in a more sustainable direction with your gifting habits over time.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
