Do you re-gift any of your presents?

I think regifting is ok. As long as you are thinking that the person you are giving the gift to will like it, not just to get rid of it. Here is the no-no.....don't regift to the person who gave you the present. I once bought my mother in law a centerpiece for her table. It matched her kitchen perfectly. Didn't she regift it and give it back to me! Now that is what I call TACKY!

i was tempted to. but i was thinking what the person will feel if i gave his or her gift away because i was saving on money. just putting myself on to their shoes. and so i don't do that. but if i have to, i will make sure that no one will going to find out.

I think that's fine with me, maybe he or she find that gift suitable for me. What if the gift to me was a car. Or maybe not.I think it's the thought that counts.

I find re-gifting to be very practical, economical, and green! For instance, I was recently given a lovely scented candle by an office co-worker. The candle is obviously quite expensive and from a well-known candle-making company. I took it home, took the lid off, and placed the lovely candle on my desk. Within 10 minutes I was sneezing like crazy! I promptly replaced the lid and put the candle away. That candle will be re-gifted for sure. I can't see throwing it into a trashcan to live in a landfill, when I have countless frinds and aquaintances who LOVE scented candles. The next time one of them invites me to dinner or something, I will take the candle as a hostess gift!

I've regifted a few items, but only things that I know the other person would like. I received a nice Calvin Klein perfume from a co-worker, which I don't particularly care for that scent, but I gave it to my sister-in-law who I know loves it. So in that case I don't think it's tacky at all. Now if its just to get rid of something I don't want, I'd rather give it to goodwill if I'm just trying to get it out of the way.

Hahahahha! I find this funny because you just got me there. Yes I confess that I really do that. Just today my husband nad I give a gift to a friend something from those gifts I received from friends too. hahahahha. I this a purse away because there is no way that I will use it. I am not a purse or bag carrier ever. I dont carry anything with me when I go away or else I will put it somewhere and forget that I was carrying it and yes.... lost it. So... I give it away instead thinking that it might be beneficial to me friend and plus I dont need to spend more money for her gift.

well, I've never done such a thing, and I won't do it in the future. Because I think every one should cherish the gift he receives from his friends for the gift itself bears a deep and sincere meaning of its sender. If we re-gift it, we are hurting the feelings of our friends, So, we should cherish it forever rather than re-gift it.

This hasn't been a great year. If it weren't for regifting, nobody would hav gotten anything. I still really put a lot of thought into matching the gift with the recipient. I feel really bad about how bad things are this year, for me and almost everyone I know. The holidays lose a bit of their luster when the depression that comes with financial difficulties hits hard. But I still love my friends, and I really want to give them gifts.

Don't worry I usually do the same thing as you and others.. I used to give gift those things that I had received and never been used or simply I don't like the gift that I received.. I'm not a kind of person who keeps everything just to treasure the things that had given to me except for those people who is very special in my life.. I know that its unfair but I think I should give them to others since I know that they will be able to used it and enjoyed it.. So, when every time I received some gift that I don't like, I'll just give it to others as a present.. If ever I'll received the re-gift if I like it then I don't care but if I don't like it then maybe I will re-gift again.. Our life today is really hard since everything is getting expensive so I really need to re-gift the things that I don't like in other for me to give something to my friends.. Well, they were happy at least they had received something to me and I think that's more important..

I do re-gift sometimes and I don't mind getting a re-gift either. It really comes in handy having an extra gift around when you just don't know what to get a certain person. What does bother me is if you receive a re-gift and the giver left a tag on it from when it was given to them.

Hi taface412, I have recently developed the habit to give away gifts that I have received during festive seasons or Birthday. I realized that I have been wasting resources by throwing those that I have kept for a long time without even using them. This may be the same case for those who received my gifts. I have the mindset to keep things that looks good to have or nice to keep when they are in fact meant to be used. It really hurts to throw away gifts that have past the expiry date. So rather than throwing them away, I rather repack them or give it to those whom needs it most. Especially during this festive season is a time to share. Cheers and Happy Holidays...

I haven't regifted a present before in my lifetime. I'm only 18 so I'm sure I'll get some kind of giftset I don't really like and will give it to someone else hoping they might like it. I don't regifting, but it does save from buying something else. I wouldn't, of course, regift for a family member, or someone close to me. That would be horrible to do! They'd probably know that I wasn't thinking about getting anything meaningful for them.
