Do You Re-gift?

Most of us have gotten a gift that doesn't quite fit our needs or is the wrong color, or we just don't like! Is it ok to regret that gift?? Is it like recycling your gift? Someone "not quite our treasure" may just be someone else's treasure?

    Well, I would if I could.  The trouble is that I use up all up of those gift soap/lotion/shapmoo things that people give to you when I run out.  There are not many things that I am given these days that are  not  useful.  For example. Last year I asked for a new set of tires and you can't exactly re-gift those.  I even use the travel pillow that I won in the office raffel. I guess I lucked out last year.

      I don't usually regift but I do donate gifts I don't need or particularly like to clubs I belong to for use as door prizes.  I think you need to be careful when you regift and keep a record of who gave you the gift.  One Christmas, a friend of mine gave me the same present I had given her the year before.  Now that is tacky!  But as desertkid said someone's reject may be someone ele's treasure.

      Thank you Katie for reminding us to be extra careful NOT to regift that precious gift right back to the original giver! LOL

        No, because I really don't get a lot of gifts for the day, and they are usually from the mother in law, so she would be hurt if I did something like that, and I can't hurt her feelings like that. Hope this helps.

        You are very thoughtful and I wouldn't want to hurt my mother-in-laws feelings either...

        I've been known to re-gift, but now that I'm an expatriate I only get things from my wife that I really need anyway. Re-gifting is sensible, though.

        you can give anyone as many gifts as you want

        and if you messed up the first time there is always a second chance
