Make Goodwill Your One-Stop Shop for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! It’s a day to celebrate love—whether for a partner, your best friends, yourself, or all of the above.

While it’s easy to grab a last-minute gift at a big box store (cue the cliché chocolate, flowers, and card combination), putting a little extra thought into your gift means so much more. If you’re looking for unique, budget-friendly gifts that truly express your love, it’s time to visit your local Goodwill of Southern New England store.

And while you’re there hunting for gifts, don’t forget to pick up a festive, thrifted outfit for your date night or Galentine’s party!

Shop by Color

For every milestone or holiday, Goodwill has something for everyone—and Valentine’s Day is no exception. In fact, we make holiday shopping easy because many of our locations organize racks by color. When you walk through our doors this week, you’ll likely be greeted by racks of the prettiest pinks, deep reds, and soft purples.

Whether you are browsing dresses, sweaters, blazers, or home goods, looking for color is the best way to start. You might find anything from the softest pink sweaters to fun sequin tunics to add some sparkle to your night.

More Than Just Clothes

The treasure hunt doesn’t stop at clothing. Every section of our stores holds potential for a romantic or thoughtful gesture.

  • Home Goods: Look for a unique pink or red vase to create your own DIY floral centerpiece.

  • The “Look”: You might find an elegant velvet midi dress or a blazer with pearl embellishments.

  • Accessories: Don’t forget to check the shoe and accessory racks! You might spot the perfect pair of metallic heels or a designer clutch to complete your look for a fraction of the retail price.

A Gift That Gives Back

This Valentine’s Day, let Goodwill of Southern New England be your destination for heartfelt gifts and color-themed outfits that allow you to unleash your creativity.

As you explore the treasures on our racks and shelves, remember that shopping second-hand is a win-win. You find better quality items for a more affordable price, and—most importantly—the proceeds go right back into our local community. Every purchase supports our mission to provide employment services, job training, and community programs for individuals with disabilities and other barriers to employment.
