Recycling gifts

It is not always bad to recycle gifts because if you don't have any money, and you don't like what you have, you can just give it to someone else.

Hi! I also recycled some gifts that I have received. If I discovered that my gift to others was recycled it would be okay as long as they don't gift it back to me. Well for me it is better to recycle rather than throw it away because it is not needed.

it is bad manners to me. but if you are out of budget, do not just give out the same gift. do something to modify it somehow and not give it as it is. make a twist just to make the gift appear not like before. i dont know how but at least that could lessen the guilt. he he

I am guilty of recycling a few gifts, especially around Christmastime. Usually its because unexpected guests show up and I have run out of extra gifts. The recycled gifts are usually small items such as gloves or bath products. Otherwise, I will hold onto the gifts that I receive in hopes that I will have an opportunity to use them later. Sometimes I end up giving the items to someone that I know will put them to good use. I don't have a problem with my recipients passing the gifts along or donating them.

Hi! Yes, I do recycle gifts sometimes, but only those that I can't really use and doesn't fit me at all. But, I also choose who I'm going to give it to, I usually just give it either to my daughter, my nieces or my cousins. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, for me it's better to give it to somebody who can make use of it rather than keeping it until it gets old and useless. There are things that can't be kept for so long, it expires and becomes brittle and can't be used anymore, so I think it's just being practical that we give it to someone who can make good use of it. I wouldn't get offended if my gift was recycled, it's fine with me as long as he/she has a valid reason for doing it. I'd be glad to know that someone made use of it rather than putting it to waste. :)

I feel similar. Although I have never recycled a gift, I would have no problem doing it in the right circumstance. I also wouldn't mind if my gift was recycled if it is going to get more use in it's new home. I'm all about use and re-use. I love goodwill and also give things to them regularly. One man's trash, another man's treasure I say.

I have no bad thought about recycling gifts. After all, why not make something that we don't need useful? It might not suit us but it might be something really welcome by others. The thing to consider before picking a gift for recycling is whether the condition of the gift is acceptable or not. If we ourselves find that the condition of the item that we intend to give away of gift is awful such as too old or appearance wise looks real bad, then it is better off to dispose off the item. We wouldn't want to give away something that we cannot accept ourselves in term of outlook or age that is way too long or bad. It is really bad doing.

i exactly do what you are doing....but if i know that the gift given to me important to the sender, i will not give it to anybody...i will also get hurt wen a discover that an important gift that i have given is also given to other person... especially when the gift is a handicraft one because its a fruit of labor.

I think recycling gifts is not good.. gifts are ment to keep it with yourself.. if your can't use it you can atleast treasure it... it will be something that will remind you of the person who give you the gift.. I would really fee bad if some one will give away the gift given by me to someone else just because he it was not what he liked or not what he need...

I haven't tried recycling gifts, but now I got the idea. I used to think that a gift given to you must be yours forever and you should not give it away. But i have realized what you have said. The gift is already mine and I can do whatever I want with it. lol. Perhaps, next time I will receive something I do not like, I will give it to someone I think needs it more.

My Mom is actually doing that especially when she does not need it. I am doing that as well if I don't like the object especially if the clothes is not fitted to me or again if I dislike it.

i don't think it is bad to recycle gift i'd two kids and on their birthdays i get so many gifts which i already have or it is of no use for me then i gift it to some other kid...there is no use for keeping it .....
