Would you give used gifts?  

It depends, many good things you can only get used. A great example are PS2 games many of which are sold in blockbuster for about $8. I got my friend one of these last year and he was very happy with it, so I'd say it's fine to give certain kinds of things used as gifts. There are also things like antiques, historical items, and (for those of us who are interested like me) old scientific instruments, electronics, etc... You are right though, games make a great gift new or used, since they don't really wear out at all or anything.

i give used gifts as well. i shop at thrift stores about once a week and just today, i got some pins (the tie tac type) for my dad and a small metal hello kitty lunch box for my 11 year old daughter.
we dont have a problem with used stuff at all.

If the used gift looked as new as it could be then yes I would give used gifts, and i have given used gifts in the past with no problems from the people I gave to

Used gifts can be just as nice as new gifts. My daughter buys used Playstation games for her kids at times, and movies, too. AND I know she's bought them for Christmas, too. If you don't tell anyone, they never know. And kids don't really care. Speaking of clothing, my daughter had on a beautiful sweater Thanksgiving. I commented on how pretty it was, and she said,'this is my Thrift Store sweater'. I told her she should never have said anything and I would never have known it. The sweater looked brand new. We've bought things at the Thrift Store and at the Flea Markets - not for Christmas, but bought them just the same. Nothing wrong with buying these things.

My kids have gotten used gifts for the holidays and I don't see anything wrong with it. I wouldn't give used gifts to someone else though, just my kids or immediate family.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I have given and gotten used gifts in the past. As long as they are still in good condition, who cares it they are used. My kids used to get a lot of clothes from thrift stores. My son still gets some shirts from thrift stores, but I rarely find pants in his size.

I don't see any problem with giving used gifts at all. A couple of years ago I spent the year buying up second hand paperbacks that my sister would enjoy. By christmas time I had an enormous boxful for her, far more reading material than I'd have been willing to buy new. Great for a voracious reader!

My son's birthday present from his grand-parents this year was second hand and he doesn't care one bit. He has just as much fun, and it's meant that there's more money in the kitty for something else another day.
