The best thing each of us can do for the planet is to not buy more new stuff. At least that’s what Adam Minter, the author of the book Secondhand, says. The more sustainable way is shopping secondhand. It’s cheaper, more sustainable and environmentally friendly. It’s even more fun – you never know if you’ll find a rare knick-knack or some designer-brand piece.

The Instagram page Weird Second-Hand Finds is where people send in interesting second-hand items they found while thrift shopping. Have you ever thrifted an impressive piece, pandas? Let us know in the comments! And upvote your favorites from this list so we know which ones you liked the most!
