CHARITY SHOP GIFT SHOPPING | SECONDHAND SHOPPING IN WEST YORKSHIRE | LUXURY FOR LESS
I'm back in hometown this weekend in West Yorkshire visiting my parents, so I thought I would take you charity shopping with me!
In this episode we cover secondhand gifting and find some fabulous clothing. The shop I visited today was The Kirkwood Hospice. The Kirkwood Support Life for anyone affected by a life limiting illness.

Hi Monica. I discovered your channel today and subscribed.... and suddenly I got a notification that you have posted a video. I enjoyed this so much. I run the steam room in a charity shop and we have some lovely pieces donated to us. I always enjoy emptying the bags of donated clothing , shoes and linens. I never know what I am going to find. xx

Great Videos .. I work in a charity shop in West Sussex - really interesting to see other shops layouts & pricing. Liked & subscribed..😊
Hello Monica, I have been a charity shop shopper for many years, really addicted. I love your presentation style and have picked up some really worthwhile tips from you like high end brand names. Thank you so much. The little black fascinator suited you so much, you looked like our lovely Princess Kate Middleton. 💕
Loved this video…I like to Charity shop…one persons trash, is another persons treasure!
Love your tips, love the fact that you point out strengths of items you don't like for yourself and particularly love the fact how generous you are in spirit, sharing the details of your favourite charity shop! UK has many good ones. Thanks!💛
I want to see what you end up buying!!
🇬🇧 I'm so pleased that you managed to get clip on microphone, so that it leaves you ' hands free' for handling the clothing.
I'm a new subscriber and am thoroughly enjoying your content, thank you. I lived in Linley 54 years ago when I first got married and worked for the health authority but going to a charity shop then was just not a 'thing'.....thank goodness thats changed x
The fascinator looked perfect . The fur coat was a lovely colour and suited your petite frame. The shop was brilliant quality and very low prices . I enjoy buying charity shop items that look new or looked after . It’s very good to recycle clothing . Often something gets worn once . Why not donate it and let others benefit from an item you won’t wear again ? Coats often are great bargains . Pure wool for example. Lots of new items for sale too like fluffy socks and shopping bags . I have a drawer that I collect new items in so I always have a card, chocs and a little gift for anyone. Some charity shops sell chocolate too ( in good date too) . I enjoyed your video and you have good style and knowledge of a quality item . Take care and happy bargain hunting x

Just stumbled across your channel for the first time, and imagine my surprise when I recognised the shop as local to me! Not been for a while but I will do now! Really enjoyed this and needless to say have subscribed to your channel.

Monica, I took on board a previous video, look for small jackets. Today I picked up a linen Beige jacket, one button at top, three quarter wide sleeves. I didn't like the button but had a large pearled one and changed. Love your videos and suggestions to buy out of season too, as may be cheaper.
New subscriber and so enjoying your vlogs. You make it affordable for people to dress smart for occasions and have several different items instead of one good outfit. Thank you.

This shop is a must for me, I have just bought 4 brand new fashion handbags as birthday gifts for my friends here, amazing value, they often seem to have brand new items on sale at a fraction of high street prices.

My best bargain was a discount rail in cancer research for a Wallis petite black jumpsuit for £3 - I’ve worn it loads and absolutely love it - so comfortable and yet glamorous! Gets tons of compliments every time I wear it!

Hi Monica, Great video. I thoroughly enjoy charity shops, as I find when you are styling your clothes, you tend to use your imagination more and I get lots of compliments.Whereas in the high street, everybody is wearing what they see on the mannequins.

I have been subscribed to your channel for two weeks now, and I love how you present each shop. I would have to say, you are the best charity shop presenter out there. Your husband does a great job videoing you and your vlog.

Oooh I’d love a good mooch around in that shop Monica! I too collect little bits & pieces for birthdays/Christmas & keep them in my wicker hamper (from a charity shop👍) so I have things when I need them. Did you buy the fascinator? I’m thinking Ascot if you’re going? 😊 Great video, thank you 👏

Hi, Monica - just subscribed. I got an amazing bargain from Shelter - a genuine Nomination bracelet with 4 charms. Blown away by it, as l love Nomination bracelets. My daughter, sister & niece all have them too! 🙂👍
You inspired me to go charity shopping and I’ve come away with some real finds, thank you!! Great to see another Huddersfield lass! I’ll have to investigate this Lindley shop when I next go over to visit my mum 😉

At about 18:36 in your video, it looks like there is a Royal Copenhagen covered vegetable or casserole dish. I could be wrong, as other manufacturers make dishes in a similar pattern. However, a quick search on the Royal Copenhagen website shows their covered dishes retail for over a thousand dollars Canadian. I love the blue onion pattern, but have never been able to find anything in a charity shop yet.
It’s really great fun watching your videos xx
great video again! i always tell friends to imagine the items out of the shop - it’s easy to get distracted by the interior of charity shops and not see the vision i feel. xx
Great video

👍 Thumps up for the casmere blend coat from the men's section! I bought all three of my winter coats second hand, all of them wool-casmere-blend and all between 12 and 20 €. They will last a lifetime!

Please explain how you can tell if the shoulders fit or not.
@themonicaway.
18 күн бұрын
Hello! It’s entirely personal and based on your proportions, but I personally like them to fit as closely to my shoulders as possible as I’m quite small. For ladies with wider hips, a wider shoulder can create a really nice hourglass shape to balance out the appearance of the hips. Have a play with shoulder widths and see what makes you feel best ♥️ Hope that helps ♥️
Any larger sizes, Size16 seems very scarce.
