“The Ditty Box is a great little thrift shop! Though the shop is in a relatively small space, there is a good selection of clothing and dishes in particular. There is a small games/puzzles section (one of my personal favorite thrifting categories!) and a fabric section with EXTREMELY reasonable prices for my fellow aspiring sewers out there! Another huge plus: they even have a *Free* section with a variety of odds and ends! I got a wireless mouse (which hopefully works) and a JFK portrait (which I intend to hang up somewhere confusing to mess with my fiance) in the free section on my visit today!My favorite personal observation of this store is that they are incredibly generous with pricing; if an item has a preexisting tag on it they default to the lower of the tag prices, which is really nice. Even at Goodwill they'll charge you $5.00 for an item that clearly had a $0.50 price tag on it, so I really liked that they err on the side of caution when pricing items. The people who work there are also apparently all volunteers working with a local church (a "Congregational Church," no immediately recognizable denomination that I can tell; just wanted to add that for anyone whose decisions may be affected by that). Everything on the bag in my added photo only cost $12, and I got 3 books, a LOT of good quality fabric, a (hopefully functional) wireless mouse, a framed picture, a ship model kit with the building pieces still in sealed plastic, an embroidery kit, and a small sewing pattern! Feels crazy just typing it all out!Anyways, The Ditty Box is definitely worth checking out, and they will definitely do you right when you shop there!”
“The negative reviews are beyond ridiculous. There’s a reason why the store has been busy since day one, just give it a visit, You will love it. They also sell many designer items that have been authenticated. Prada, Gucci, Chanel. Ect.”

“My favorite second-hand store. The ladies here are fantastic. The prices are a bit higher than other locations but they are very clean and curated so it’s worth it to me. I love that they donate to different causes.”

“I’ve had great experiences both shopping and selling with Esta. Vicky is pleasant to work with, a smart and warm woman who carefully curates the items in her store. Almost every item I’ve consigned has sold for a decent price and I happily take store credit. So many name brand, quality items at reasonable prices. Esta is my favorite clothing shop in Portsmouth!”

“I have been a donor and customer of Fair Tide for years. Recently however I have noticed their prices are high and their donation storage full. Better to lower your prices and sell more than sell less because of high prices. They do have a 1/2 sale on the last Sat. of ea. month. Perhaps more special sale days would reduce the inventory making way for more donations. That being said, their mission is wonderful and I will continue to donate when they have room.”

“Cheapest thrift in the area besides Wonderland in Stratham. Good will up the street same side is expensive! Love shopping here. Wednesday is when the real deals take place.”
“Great deals and friendly staff! Very well organized for a thrift store. Could use a little updating but completely understandable when prices are so low. Thank you for servicing our area with good products at great prices! Keep up the good work!”
“Really nice thrift store, not far from the highway. Friendly staff great prices and clothing for everyone though like most thrift stores it’s mostly for women. Good books, selection, as well as music, DVDs, housewares Christmas items and furniture. The parking front and back probably had 20 spot spots, but it’s a popular store.”
