7 addresses for great second-hand gifts

Atelier 111 déco (on the left) and Ex-Voto (on the right) are among the best places to find second-hand gifts.

Buying second-hand is good for the planet and the budget, but when shopping for gifts, we sometimes keep ourselves a little embarrassed, for fear of looking “cheap”. However, used but stylish gifts do exist! The proof in these seven Montreal addresses.

Au Vieux Bouc 

There is no shortage of bookstores in Montreal, but if we had to choose only one second-hand bookstore, it might be the Vieux Bouc located on Promenade Masson. Novels, essays, comics, art books, it's all there! In addition, the place also serves as a café, which makes shopping even more pleasant.
