will be regifting one gift I received this X'mas...

Based on the USA culture, a gift cannot regifted. If you received a gift, you cannot give it to someone. You should keep it anyway, and it doesnt mean that you are selfish it is just a tradition. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.

By getting that 2nd set you can make someone else happy with it. I think that will be a nice thing for who ever you plan to re-gift it to.

I might re-gift something here or there as well. I didn't really get anything this year that I feel like I need to "re-gift". I do think it's kind of mean to the person who got you the gift, kind of sad, but if you aren't going to put use to it...What's the point of letting it gather dust?

I have not experienced it yet, receiving two of the same thing. But if ever, I think I will give it to a friend who I think will be willing to accept it the same thing you did. One is enough for me and besides I'll see to it that the recipient of that gift does not have the same thing.

It seems like there is always someone that gives you something to regift. Its ok though. My hubby and I opted out of gift giving as we are planning a cruise. It will be 17 months of planning when we get to finally go. So I have not been on vacation for over a year now. But its all good as we will get to cruise so I am sincerely looking forward to it. Hope your Christmas was pleasant,

It's a good idea to give someone else the second set once you already have the same one, or to give away a gift you simply won't be able to use. It's perfectly normal and there is nothing wrong with this, on the contrary - you will make perfect use of the gift so that someone else can make it useful, and thus you will make someone else fell better. It is better to regive something, than sticking it in the back of the closet where it will only take space and become totally useless.

I count myself fortunate in that all the gifts I received I was extremely happy with, seems my relatives know exactly what to get me and even have good taste in the type of clothes I wear, even a distant cousin who I haven't seen for a couple of years bought me a wonderful t-shirt and the right size too. Of course my mum always knows what scent I like, and I tell her what dvds to get me and trousers. So I am spoilt there. One thing I do tell my relatives NOT to get me and that's sweets. So all the presents I am keeping for ME ME ME!

hi cutie18f. well, i got a united colors of benetton cold perfume again this year from the same cousin who gave me the same brand of perfume last christmas. makes sense? i sure hope it does. anyway, i was mildly surprised when i opened my gift and saw the same brand of perfume. talk about the lack of originality. lol! anyway, i'm still thankful for my cousin's gift. i tried selling the perfume yesterday in our yard sale but it wasn't sold. my mom then mentioned that she wanted the same perfume so i went ahead and gave it to her instead. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

We don't give christmas presents so did not receive anything double or I can't use. If it comes to presents... read that money is most wasted if it comes to presents/gifs. Most receivers get what they don't like or need, it's throwen away, given away or hidden. By now people know what I like which is not stuff, although I accept 2nd hand and give it away to people I know they can use it. In my country or abroad.

I have to admit I re- gifted 7 of them. I re- wrapped 7 fruit cakes and gave them away. i dont like them at all. Didnt want them to go to waist. How is your xmas day going??

i received 4 GCs to a popular food chain. then yesterday, jan 2, some relatives came over so i gave 1 GC each to the kids plus money. i plan to give the other two to the survey company that our household is part of, one for the person who comes here weekly to collect the receipts and one for her supervisor.

I honestly feel that there is nothing wrong with re-gifting. I have received two of the same things multiple times before. Some times it is something that I can actually use and have two of them is not that big of a deal. And other times it is something that I just absolutely do not need so I either give it away or re-gift it. As long as you don't open it or anything I really do not see the harm in re-gifting.
