Champaign-Urbana’s gift market flips holiday shopping

Imagine a holiday market where you walk in, pick up clothes, art, or candles—and leave your wallet at home. That’s exactly what happened at Resistance Threads’ Really Really Free Christmas Market in Champaign-Urbana. No price tags, no trades—just neighbors sharing what they have and taking what they need. It’s a fresh take on gift-giving that pushes back against the usual holiday spending frenzy and big-box shopping. People brought in thoughtful donations, and the whole vibe was about community, sustainability, and joy. Would you support more events like this in our area? How could this change the way we celebrate the holidays? #Shopping #ChampaignUrbana #FreeMarket

Thrift Store Prices Gone Wild?!

You won’t believe what someone spotted at a thrift store: VHS tapes locked up and priced at over $100 each! People are calling out thrift shops for marking up secondhand stuff to ridiculous levels—even when you can find the same tapes online for under $10. Sure, thrifting can save you cash and help the planet, but these wild price tags are making some shoppers rethink it. Would you still thrift if prices keep climbing? #Shopping #ThriftStoreFinds #Overpriced

Columbia Mall’s holiday rush: Fewer days, more hustle

This year’s holiday shopping season at Columbia Mall felt like a sprint, not a marathon. With Thanksgiving falling late, everyone had less time to find gifts, and the pressure was on. Mall managers tried to help by extending store hours, but shelves started looking bare as Christmas got closer. Many shoppers did their homework online before heading out, making every trip count. Between gift wrapping, Santa visits, and packed stores, the mall buzzed with last-minute energy. How did you handle the time crunch? Did you shop local or stick to online orders? #Shopping #ColumbiaMall #HolidayShopping
