Do thoughts of the upcoming holiday shopping season give you the shivers? We get it. We hate Black Friday, too – the commercialism, the cost, the plastic, and the unhappy crowds. But we’ve got you covered! Come celebrate community with us instead:
Instead of buying plastic stuff online or fighting crowds at the big box stores, stop by the warehouse
to relax with friends and learn how to MAKE presents.
@the Community Forklift warehouse
4671 Tanglewood Drive, Edmonston, Maryland 20781 (5 minutes outside DC in the Hyattsville area)

While you’re here, don’t miss our Christmas pop-up shop filled with everything you need to deck your halls!
On Friday through Sunday, almost everything in the warehouse will be 25% off. Save on modern items like boxes of tile and granite counter slabs, vintage items like old door hardware and mid-century furniture, and all sorts of artwork and decor – including the lights, wreaths, and other items in our Christmas pop-up shop!
Sale does not include select specialty items, items sold online, or items from our consignment partners. Items with missing or damaged price tags will not be sold. May not be combined with other sales.
Don’t worry – you can still do some holiday shopping online in our Marketplace and eBay store, or purchase a Forklift gift card for a loved one!
Not only that, but we’re having an eBay sale! From Green Friday (Nov. 23rd) through Cyber Monday (Nov. 26th), save 20% in our eBay store. (Discount does not apply to shipping costs, and is not valid on purchases made in-store)
