Regifting?

I do this all the time! But I do it with thought . . . if I think someone would truly like this, then I would do that. I'd make sure there is no evidence of it being a "regift" so as not to look tacky!! Like my son got a couple gifts for his birthday and Christmas - they were duplicates of what he already had and there were no gift receipts. So we would either be stuck with double gifts or we could pass them along to someone else who could use them! My brother in law's sister is having a birthday party for their little boy - so we are planning to give these gifts to him. It's totally new, unopened - and they are high quality toys - so we don't feel bad about giving them away. My sister in law, on the otherhand, regifted to me a weird massage kit for couples one Christmas. This would normally be a product that is shrink wrapped and I could tell it was opened already. First of all, that was a tacky, strange gift to give to a sister in law - not to mention there was that evidence that it was already used. Well, of course I wouldn't be regifting that gift . . . I put in a donation bag to a thrift shop.

hi! Its ok to regift the stuff you don't use. As long it is good as new. I remember my suitor gave me perfume but i don't like the scent, i just gave it to my mom to use it,and she like the scent. But don't do it as a hobby. Cause the people who give gifts to you gave some effort to think what nice gift for you. Then you will just regift it. It really depends on situations.

I've been doing this for a few years now. I believe that what may not be useful to me could be useful to others.

I was never for the process of regifting. Maybe because when I get something I never use, it is likely that no one else I know might not have any use for it either. Plus, by the time I get something that I do not want, I tend to put it away and forget about it after an amount of time. Therefore, out of sight, out of mind, it is something that I really do not think about at that point. What's more likely to happen is that I put whatever it is out in my yearly garage sale to get some money off of it. Its likely to happen, there have been many things that I have gotten as gifts that I have never used that have found their way out to garage sales, both used and brand new. In fact, there have been times where clothes have been put out there that have been pretty much unused. However, never really regifted things.

LOL. I used to think that way when I was in my elementaries. I wanted to join some group-agreed exchange giftings so I just regift to save some money. Nowadays, I do it only when I know that the person who gift it to me won't know that I regifted it to someone who would like the present so as not to hurt the gifter.

This ids a very good issue because i saw many people who don't like re gifting i believe in re-gifting because what is not necessary to us may be very necessary to the other one

I have done it a couple times, but only if it is something that I will never use and its something I KNOW the other person will like and/or use. For example, I can't use alot of scented lotions because of skin allergies and the first year that I was dating my husband his stepmom got me a bunch of different lotions and stuff. I gave them to my 16 year old cousin along with something else that I got her for Christmas because I knew she liked the scents. Obviously my husbands stepmom was never going to find out that I regifted the lotion, and my cousin got something she really liked.

I regift occasionally when I either don't need something or have too much of something. I would never regift something useless that I wouldn't want for myself though. I think regifting is fine because you wouldn't use the product anyway, so you might as well give it to someone who will. This way you eliminate wastage, reduce clutter and save money.

i never done that too..funny though, but if you'll not use the gifts you received and will just add on with your nonsense stuff, then why not. aside from saving money buying a gift, you also save a space in your closet
