Skip the Tie: Celebrate Father’s Day with Unique Goodwill® Finds

Posted on June 14, 2013 by Jenna Isaacson

It’s nearly Father’s Day and you know what that means--time to buy dad a new tie! Or is it? Trust me, your local Goodwill® store is sure to have a huge selection of ties to pick from. I’ve never stepped foot in a thrift store that didn’t. Some ties are printed with themes that are so hilarious they should really be framed. But don’t be fooled into thinking that’s all you can find for dad there. It’s also full of great gifts for dad that he’ll actually use!

Weekend Project: A DIY Father's Day Gift From Goodwill®

Posted on June 7, 2013 by Vanessa Cardoni

If your family is like ours, there are very few things Dad loves more than receiving a handmade gift. Goodwill® has become my go-to source for materials I need to create unique home furnishings and accessories. One item that’s almost always plentiful at Goodwill stores is a selection of picture frames. Can you see where we’re headed with this? What dad doesn’t cherish a family picture? Instead of just popping a photo in a frame, I decided to show you how to combine two common Goodwill items to create a knock-out, custom picture frame that can proudly be given as a truly one-of-a-kind gift this Father’s Day.

Sixty-nine years to the day after the D-Day invasion during World War II, seniors who landed on those beaches are facing a new threat: the highest rates of poverty and economic hardship since the Great Depression.
