Do you "re-gift" or have you re-gifted?

[raven1114]

i have a few times. i'd rather the item go to someone who can use it rather than sitting around collecting dust. i'd also rather someone regift an item i gave them to someone who can use it if they can't.

Right on...and...absolutely.  I won't give someone garbage but if I receive something that's brand new...that I don't need...I might give it to
someone else.  I don't worry about whether or not someone is offended because that's THEIR choice and I'm unable to control the choices
that other people make.  I'm also NOT offended if the person I give the gift to turns around and gives it away.

I would say...Do you best always and give yourself credits for always doing your best.

I hope this helps.
 
Sincerely,
Sherry

I have never received gifts other than money lol. Just food most of the times.

I have re-gifted.  Especially if I get 2 of the same item, it saves me the time of purchasing the gift when I know somebody else could use it.

[devideddi]

no I have never done that.

I have gotten a gift that has not been used, and I gave it away to someone. Not as a gift, but just to give it away. I did not even think that the person that originally gave me the gift would object. Now that I think about it, it would probably have hurt their feelings. I have been known to take things over the years to the Salvation Army that have been piling up and some of those things have been unused gifts. How long do you keep them before you can throw them away?

I have solved the problem all together to not buy anymore Christmas gifts or receive any. It's taken a good 3 years, but now most everyone I know will not buy me gifts at my request.....nor I them. I like to celebrate the Christmas season for what it really is about.....not going into debt to buy gifts.

I sometimes regift.  It depends on who the gift is for and what the occaison is.

I have never re-gifted, but I dont see anything wrong with it. I just typically am able to find some use for most things I receive as gifts.

Sometimes, if the gift I have received is something I would never use. I will regift it. It's nothing personal, just not my kind of gift... so to speak. lol

I have never re-gifted and probably never will. I don't get many gifts to begin with, but I wouldn't want to re-gift and accidentally give back the gift to the same person who gave me the gift.

In my family, when you give a gift, there are no strings attached. You can keep it, donate it, regift or even throw it away if you like. The real gift is that someone thought of you and showed their love by giving you something they thought would give you joy. The real present is indeed the THOUGHT behind it.

I have when it is truly something that I cant use. I make sure that the person that gave it to me doesn't know the person that I gave it to.

[rondrond]

Well...it beats my pitiful attempts at handcrafts....

"what is it?"

"what does it look like?"

"__?"

"that's it!"

I have never "re-gifted" anything, but I have just given stuff away (usually to goodwill) if I've never used it.

Im sometimes tempted to but I dont
