Secondhand items are becoming more acceptable as gifts during the holidays.

A survey of 1,500 hundred consumers by the consulting firm Accenture PLC found almost half would consider giving secondhand clothing as gifts. And 56% said they would be happy to receive a pre-owned gift.

Courtney Nelson with Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona joined The Show to talk about it.

Paul Atkinson was a reporter and producer at KJZZ.
