42 Times People Found Unexpected Items in Thrift Stores and Had to Get Them

Thrifting can be a rollercoaster. Sometimes, we come across things that are funny, unusual, or beautiful. We come across items that tell a story. While in the thrifting community, we tend to celebrate the amusing and absurd, there are stories we come across that can be sad or sobering.

Whether it’s an old family photo full of nostalgia and sentiment, a well-loved stuffed animal, or, in this case, a mug that we all wish had been smashed to pieces as promised, it’s important to remember that all thrifted items once had a home and a person connected to them.
