Even though thrift hunting has changed radically over the past year, people’s love for thrift stores and all the treasures they hold still burns brightly. And the proof is in the pudding—or, more accurately, this list.

As you scroll down, upvote photos that impress you, and think about the most amazing items you’ve ever brought home from a thrift hunt—we want to hear all about your second-hand finds, dear Reader.
