Where to put the inherited incense smoker or the mini swing arch from the special offer? At Advent swap meets, mispurchases, unsuccessful gifts and other unused items find a new home. They start on December 1 at the Central Library in Dresden's Kulturpalast and in Leipzig's Technical City Hall.
A maximum of seven items can be exchanged, and unlike last year, not just tree decorations. "If you still have treasures in your cellar and attic - angels, stars, baubles, anything you no longer need, candles - then please bring them along," said Lena Leubner, head of the Central Library of the Dresden Municipal Libraries, on the fringes of a press event at the Kulturpalast.
