Every day, Europe 1 looks at an idea or a problem in your daily life.
With Christmas just a few days away, you may still be looking for the latest gifts.
And why not turn to the second hand?
This solution, economical and ecological, requires a little research time but is acclaimed by many French people.
Would you be ready to give or receive a second-hand gift for Christmas?
This would be the case for half of the French, according to a Harris Interactive poll.

The mother unearthed it at 10 euros on Leboncoin, against 25 euros in the trade.
"It's brand new, it's packaged, it's in a blister," she explains.
To find this good deal, she started scouring second-hand sites several weeks ago.
"I took it in advance because I wanted the best offers and the best proposals. I have no stress, it's organized, it's mentally discharged."

And this allows him to reduce his gift budget: 10 euros for his nephews and nieces against 25 euros in previous years.
"When you feel that the wallet is not following, you have to find the solution, you have to know how to do things differently", she explains at the microphone of Europe 1. Doing things differently also means doing without paper- gift and turn to "newspaper recovered from the grandmother. We will try to make small bows with the little one. We will try to customize them or paint them red", underlines Charlotte.
Enough to save another 5 to 10 euros.
