Re-Gifting: Tacky or Cool?

[RedGlitter]

Do you ever give people gifts of things that you were given and didn't want?

One study shows that about 25% of people do this. I admit I have done it when I've been low on cash, but it was stuff I bought for myself, as it would make me sad to give away a gift someone gave me, even if I didn't like it. Besides I have enough stuff to run a small gift shop. :wah: I once gave my friend a diamond and sapphire ring of mine for Christmas because funds were low and she loves jewelry.

Do you re-gift?

Re-gifting is cool as long as it isnt a fruit cake.

I have done that...especially with the kids presents off parties, mine dont play much with toys and prefer craft stuff so my motto is, if 6 months has passed and they still havent opened it, I put it in my birthday drawer ready for when its one of their friends b'days, always ensuring you dont give a child a re-gifted gift back lol........2 christmas's ago my mum gave me a travel bag full of cosmetics and creams and lotions and potions, natural sponges, nail stuff, everything bar the kitchen sink, I was well chuffed, few days later when I had chance to have a good rummage through all the stuff I found a strip of her diuretic tablets lying at the bottom of the bag.........She must of used it then filled it up and give it me lol:wah:

I remember when I was about 13 I did that to my Mum, I brought her a cheap perfume from the chemist, well I started using it and then filled it with water so it was full again :o

I have re-gifted in the past, but usually very nice un-wrapped gifts....I've actually received USED kitchen appliances (like rice steamer and juicer) before from my ex's family....that was interesting....with missing parts no-less:-5:-5
