How to thrift holiday gifts smartly; from cookware to refurbished tech

Consider secondhand gifting this holiday season to save money and benefit the environment. Consumer Reports suggests focusing on resale sites and thrift stores for items like cookware and certified refurbished electronics. Opt for stainless steel, cast-iron, and ceramic cookware, and be cautious with electronics, ensuring they are within a few generations old. Avoid secondhand purchases of baby products, health-related items, and difficult-to-clean electronics.
