How do you feel about regifting a present.
« on: December 11, 2010, 04:29:22 am »
Well I thought I would ask this question-
I am curious to know how many people actually partisapate in "REGifting " ???
You know you get something for the holiday from someone else and you its not really what
you wanted.
Do you give to someone else as a gift , or actually return it, or do you keep it.
Have you been to a "REGifting Party"? ;D
I for one do not do these thing..... :heart:

I am completely for returning and regifting.  If I give someone a gift that they do not care for or need, I do not have a problem with them passing it on to someone else.  If it just gets thrown in the closet (or the trash), then it was waisted.

I see no problem with regifting, so long as you don't forget who gave it to you and you regiift it to them lol. I agree with mgarmstrong- I would rather the person return the gift or pass it on to someone who would appreciate it instead of having it sit in the closet gathering dust. A few years ago, for example, my parents went a little wild with the gifts (my mom always shops early and gets a lot of clearance things that aren't returnable) and bought things like glass serving platters, fancy salad bowls and the like. Well, I'm no dinner party host but I knew someone who was so I happily passed them on to her and she was delighted!

I am not such a fan of regifting but if its something I truly don't need or if its something and can't use in anyway shape or form, then yes I am regifting it.

I may use what it is for a while but if I get tired of it then I'll regift it. Depending on what is of course. If it's a piece of clothing then I'll probably just donate it to charity. Things like electronics that I don't want but are still in good use, I will regift.

If you really didn't want it or use it then maybe you should give it away or sell it. But I feel like its rude to regift. Maybe if theres no chance theyll find out.

Somewhat hypocritical...I like when people put thought into my gift and am somewhat put off by receiving a gift that wasn't good enough for them.  Yet If I receive something that someone else would benefit from I have no problem giving it to them.  But I usually tell them that it was a gift that I received from someone else.

I do not think there is anything wrong with regifting an item you receive that is something you do not like or will not use. But, I do think it needs to be unused and new. Especially if you know someone (other than the person that gave it to you in the first place!) that would absolutely love it. I also do not have a problem with some regifting something I bought for them. If they truly do not like it or it is not something they will use, then I have saved them some money if they can pass it on to someone else.

I don't have a problem with it.  I have regifted of course I don't tell the other person and if it's regifted.  I'm just happy to get a gift period I don't care where it comes from and if I get a gift I can't use I will pass it along to someone else who might enjoy it.

I'm all for returning, selling, or re-gifting.  I have too much stuff to keep even more useless stuff around.

I agree with you.. I don't think anything wrong with it. Unless there are things that cannot give away then that a difference story.
