When they walked to the thrift store with her daughter Scarlett, they saw three huge Disney stuffed animals and they immediately bought them.
The loot included a giant Winnie the Pooh, a tiger and a piglet.
Scarlett announced that they were already busy preparing for Christmas.
But not everyone agreed with the idea – or where Tracey went shopping.

A mean person wrote: “I don’t think I would buy Christmas presents from a thrift store, it’s just me, I don’t mean to offend anyone.”
However, Tracey couldn’t let go of her judgmental comment and responded in a video.
The mother said, “I think you’re confused.
“Uh, the Disney toys are for the Christmas tree.
“I don’t buy second-hand toys for Christmas.”
Tracey was such a fan of Christmas that she had two trees: one with a candy cane theme and one with a Disney theme.
And she was already looking forward to the holidays.
“I can’t wait for Christmas,” Tracey added.
“I’m getting excited already.”
“I’ve already had a good part of Christmas.”
Is it too early for Christmas?
Some say it’s never too early for Christmas, and there are many reasons for that.
For example, decorating your home can improve your mood by releasing dopamine, the feel-good hormone in your brain.
If you’re an early bird shopper, stores that sell Christmas items can help you prepare and save money over several months.
You can also look for bargains during various shopping events, such as the end-of-summer sales or Black Friday.
One of the best things about the holidays is eating delicious seasonal foods and treats, while enjoying your favorite drinks and snacks.
The clips have since gone viral on her TikTok account @traceywinter1 with over 47,000 views.
People supported Tracey’s thrift store purchase and disagreed with her judgmental comments.
Someone wrote: “Why are people so judgmental? What if it’s all about what the person can afford. I buy toys for my daughter from the thrift store. She’s 2 and she doesn’t care, she’s just happy to have a new toy. And I’m helping a good cause too.”
Another commented: “There’s nothing wrong with second-hand gifts from a thrift store!!”
“Aww I can’t wait to see your decorations, I loved the Winnie the Pooh Scarlett one so much,” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “There’s nothing wrong with it.”
“There’s nothing wrong with buying second-hand toys as gifts,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “There’s no problem with people doing that because that’s all some people can afford.”
