Do you recycle the gifts you recieve by giving them to someone else?

Today I attended a wedding reception. Since the bride and the groom had a lot of friends and relatives, loads of gifts were recieved. I was really surprised to see the number of gifts. They were numerous. I'm sure many of the gifts like dinner set, tea cups and clocks would be repetitive. When a large number of gifts are recieved, only few may be useful to the couple..What about the rest? What do you do when you recieve more number of unwanted gifts? Do you give them to someone else or keep it by yourself though you don't use them?

hi friend,i am glad to hear that you have received a lot of gifts on wedding.It is cool. BUt i think if possible, you should not recycle the gifts you received to your other friends.Maybe it is a dishonorable action to the people who sent you the gifts in my opinion. AS for me, if i received so many gifts,and some i really can't use right now, i will collect them and put them into my collecting box.It is my good memories,at least it stands for some wondeful meanings. Of course, if i want to send my other friends some gifts, i will send other ones i collect myself,not from the people's gifts. Of course, it is only my opinions,if you want,you can do what you would like.good luck

I used to do this... when i was a teacher... i would receive gift that are of no use to me... and i hate to just see them go to waste... so i give them as gifts to people i know who would have a better use for them... like when someone gives me a bottle of perfume... i don't reall use perfume so i give it to others during special occassions..

your point of view is so good. It is also a good idea to avoid wasting the product.

I would not recycle the gifts, although I know a lot of people who do. I preserve these gifts as they serve to remind me of the various friends I have and helps me in remembering them.

i keep all their gifts but if i already have that gift or if the gift is the same with the othergift , i mean is when is duplicated, i tend to recycle it to give it to some one else coz, what iwll i do to it if i already have that kind of item. as long it is unused and it has his own box it is also worth to recieve.

when i receive a gift which is not liked by me, i tend to gift it to someone else. i beleive it makes sense, why to clutter the home with stupid gifts which wil never be used by you.
