Christmas decorations for small budgets

There are lots of excellent reasons for buying second-hand Christmas decorations…

• There is now a huge range available, from different periods and with different styles to fit in with everyone’s likes and needs
• Prices, of course, are much lower 
• The decorations are usually in excellent condition, very often as new!
• When you buy second hand, you’re offering the baubles a new life and you’re also supporting the people involved in solidarity projects, which are often sources of new jobs
• There are special Christmas sales events run by several Strasbourg organisations in November and December
