I've been trying to not buy anything new for about a year --- big fan of secondhand shopping, been using some fun tools to make it easier like the chrome extension that finds me resale alternatives for the items I'm looking at as I shop bit.ly/Phia

Hope this is helpful for people!

Wow I’m SO happy to know about Gem! I’m trying to be savvier finding products on resale sites and gem feels clutch! Had also forgotten about lemlem, but agree with you, such a stand out brand!

Isn't Gem incredible?? I'm also trying to be better about resale discovery and I feel like it's a game changer. There's so much new stuff out there these days and these "older" brands get lost, it's kind of a fun hunt/challenge to rediscover!

YES! It's such a fun hunt/challenge! Not to mention, buying pre-owned allows us to repurpose product that already exists (vs. supporting the endless churn of more new!). Thank you for turning me on to Gem!
