Do you re-gift items that people give you, that you don't want?

I do. There is one person who always gives me gifts that I do not like or want. I have told her that i would rather exchange gift cards, but she does not want to listen. She give me clothes that look like they belong on an old woman. She gives me knick knacks and knows (because I have told her) that I do not like knick knacks. So what do i do with all these precious gems? I re-gift and feel no shame. Now if the items I receive as gifts are weird, or I don't know of anyone that I could re-gift them to without getting a weird look, I will try to seel them item on Ebay. If that does not work, I will donate it to my favorite thrift shop whose proceeds go to animals. Either way, it finds a good home, and stays away from me!

Yeah. Especially, if it's not my size. If it's novelty item and i feel like I won't use it, I give it to my younger sister. I don't keep things that I don't use. I'm into space saving =)

I have regifted before. I have given items that I received many of at my baby shower. Things like onesies and similar items that mommies can use a lot of but I had received all that I needed. They were pretty generic, nonpersonal items that I felt pretty sure would not hurt anyone's feelings if it was discovered.
