copados1993 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 How many of you will re-gift this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray04 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I don't tend to re-gift. After the holidays I gather up all that "OH THANK YOU!" stuff and take it to what we call our "What Not Shop". Sometimes I will save it for a yard sale, which I never end up having and thus take it to the What Not Shop:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sns128 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I normally don't regift but this year I am regifting the bottle of wine someone just gave me for my birthday to a friend of mine for Christmas. I don't drink wine and she loves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunniq Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 If I received something that I know someone else would enjoy better, I would simple give the item to that person. (As long as they did not give it to me.) It would be a just because gift. I tend to not regift as Christmas, birthday gifts etc. Although I try and match gifts I give to others to that person sometimes I may "miss". I usually tell people that I don't mind if they regift something I have given to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elena_398 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I don't usually regift, but my son got Bionicles last year and never opened them! They are brand new and they are very nice expensive gifts. Soooo, Im going to give them to my nephew who asked for Bionicles from Santa this year.

misshayley Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I don't think I will be regifting this year, but I have done it in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverbffool Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I have done it once or twice, I tend to get more re-gifts than I give. One time we gave our neighbors a lennox ornament the next year we got it back in the same wrapping paper with the gift tag still on it but a new tag was placed over it. They couldn't even have the decency to re-wrap it. ~*~Jess~*~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinydancer34 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 At my DS's birthday party he got a bunch of gifts that he'll never play with - so we will be giving them to Toys for Tots this year. Otherwise we don't regift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffnatu Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I always regift. We give gifts at work each year and there is always something that I don't want or won't use. I have yet to get regifted with my regift though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbabubba Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 i have never regifted , but someone regifted back to me. i gave a gift and got it back. That's funny. My friends Grandmother gave her a photo album that she had given her the previous Christmas. Even funnier, she had it customized for her Grandmother.

smangham Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 When my MIL was alive, I always regifted the gifts she gave (God forgive me). Usually had to be a gag gift for someone, though. Lord knows the only taste that woman ever had was in the roof of her mouth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brynnfromtheblock Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I always regift ... If I get something that I'm not going to use why throw it away???? especially if someone else might actually enjoy it... I have been regifted with something I gave though.... My MIL's family is very different from my for Christmas.. we all get each other something and they don't . They did a name drawing for a while and then she said that the family was so big we shouldn't do that anymore. My SIL and I tried to explain that no matter how big the family got everyone was just getting and giving one present but she didn't seem to get it.. anyway as one of her presents we gave her a snow man ornament in a beautiful red box, the next year I got it back with a new tag... my SIL was sitting next to me and I whispered "Rule #1 of regifting, don't give the gift back to the person that gave it to you" we were in stitches all morning and noone could figure out why!!!

monkey Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 We don't regift. DH and I give gifts that are not needed or duplicates to the Brazoria County Sherrif's Dept. They take them to the battered womens shelter. We also buy Toys that we find really inexpensive all year long so that the children in these shelters have something for Christmas as well. It is a small way that we can be a blessing to someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopeky94 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I regift fairly often, but usually it's the shower gels and bubble baths that come in gift sets (too drying for my skin) or occasionally a candle that I just can't use... I have one gift (a blanket that I don't need) that I got at work 2 or 3 yrs ago and want to regift, but I always forget about it until after I've finished shopping! LOL I think regifting is a good way to be resourceful, and sometimes it's the only way I can find and/or afford particular gifts that I know the new recipient will want. Living in a fairly rural area and with a pretty low income can sometimes bring a new perspective to things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachysquirt21 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I doubt I will this year. I rarely have regifted. The only times I have done it was when my grandma gave me somthing. Now that she has passed on & I pretty much always get what is on my list, wont have anything I dont like. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
