Gporter34 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I don't really think anything is wrong with it though.lol I will probably do it this year if I get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntJamelle Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I also think that re-gifting is fine if done with tact - aka being sure that when you do the original giver will never find out about it. I would hate to hurt someone's feelings! But there are just so many candle and bath and body sets a person can use! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsgirl8 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I am guilty!!! I have regifted quite a few times lately. Especially baby gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mama2ella Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 I do it..I just make sure it is something the person would truly want and not just b/c I have it for free I also stock up on things like b&bw stuff when they have good coupons...Then I have a supply to give when I need a gift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copados1993 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I hate to admit it, but I have. I'd sure hate to give something back by accident to the person who gave it to me!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best4less Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I don't think its wrong....as long as you don't give it back to the same person! My MIL did this, one year I gave her this perfume set thingy, it came in this metal star. She gave it to my daughter the next year!! I had ordered it from a catalog and it wasn't something you could just get from a store so I KNOW it was the same one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebony0421 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Suppose someone gives you something and you know they know it really should've stayed in the store, give it back to them and see if they would enjoy it. :rotflol: Let's see how purty they think that sweater is now. :rotflol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laffnatu Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I do it every year. I usually get stuff from work that I really don't want or can't use and end up giving them to family members. This way I know that I'm not returning them to the same person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorkydiva Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have done it before. I don't see anything wrong with it if it is something the other person might like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
couponmamaoftwins Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I have and don't see anything wrong with it. Why let something rot in your closet or get thrown away when somebody else might get some use out of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBA Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 can't remember but am sure that I have. Don't think there is anything wrong with it as long as it is a gift that you'd given anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alimfp Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I don't think it's wrong either unless it looks used and the person you are gifting isn't into that sort of thing (I personally don't mind some used items, depending on what they are). Anyway, I don't remember doing it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susiejwp Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 ....my re-gifts usually go to the local shelter or to Salvation Army...that way I don't run the risk of my gift being recognized later my the orginal 'gifter" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Only once. I got the big George Foreman grill and never used it as I already had one. It was brand new in the box and so I wrapped it and gave it to my mom who wanted one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmatlock Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 I have never regifted before, but I don't see anything wrong with it as long as it is unopened and you don't send it to the same person who gave it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckwheat_jegc Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 No. I have never opened a gift and re-wrapped it for someone. :holiday02That's cheesy in my personal opinion. I shop and buy each gift especially for the person intended. I have received things that I didn't like/didn't need and given them away, letting the person know that it was something I received from someone and didn't want.

Daydreamer228 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 I don't regift. But my daughter is thinking of regifting her ex with the things he has given her since the divorce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest all2tired Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Nope, I just take back something I don't like and get something that I do like. I have however gotten a gift that was regifted. One of my Bridal shower gifts had a card inside from sombody else's shower. So if you do regift, make sure there are no cards or pieces of wrapping paper in/on it. Edit: I forgot to add, My aunt had gotten me a pasta machine for a bridal shower gift and used it before giving it to me. It was covered in flour. She could have at least cleaned it.

nellyhill Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I regift almost every year. I am alergic to perfume and scented body lotion and DHs Aunt gets me this stuff every year. I have mentioned to her several times I can't use the stuff but she still gets it for me. Grandma-in-law also likes to wear Pleasures perfume (the worste in my book) every Christmas and wonders why I am always sitting across the room.

missyjane Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 We have a traditional regift that has been going on for about 14/15 years. When my aunt married my uncle he bought a chiapet for the unisex exchange and it shows up every year in our exchange. Unopened. It's pretty funny.

thebusylife Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I love to regift! I always appreciate the thought if not the gift and simply move it on to someone not affiliated in any way. However, I have been on the receiving end of an...unfortunate regifting. My best friend from college got married in 1997 and I bought her these, I thought, beautiful candle holders. Apparently she didn't like them too well, as I received them as a wedding gift 3 years later!!!LOL I never told her and since I like them, it was fine. But dh and I just laughed about it. She had a closet full of wedding gifts that she didn't like and would just pull one out and regift it. I asked after the wedding if she had ever regifted back to the person that gave it accidentally and she said, "Never! And if I did, it's not like they would remember what they gave me anyway."LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
