SkydiveStMarys 0 #1 December 19, 2005 Do you or have you ever "regift" a present? Sadly I have.......but I was under extreme circumstances. Annnnnd I have to admit...it WAS a "choice" gift, so that should make it a little better. BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

yardhippie 0 #2 December 19, 2005 Usually I get pretty cool gifts. But this one time I got an iron, and not as quality an iron as I already owned. sooo, I repackaged it and took it to a dirty santa party where the person who gave it to me would not be.

CSpenceFLY 1 #3 December 19, 2005 What is the deal with this???I read an article in the paper yesterday about this and people were raising cain about this.What is the difference between regifting or just taking something you don't want or need back to the store.I think this is just another thing that most people don't care about but one of the talking heads says we do. Not directed at you bobbi,I just needed to rant.So now that your not a DZO are you coming to Dublin? . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NlghtJumper 0 #4 December 19, 2005 I re-gift. I mean, if you give me something I already have or dont need, am I suposta keep it? Let it sit around and collect dust so the person can come by and some how find it and ask why there is so much dust on it? It is so much easier to just make someone else's day by giving it to them...

NWFlyer 2 #7 December 19, 2005 I've done it a couple of times. One was a book that I had just received (it was one I really wanted). I thought my friend would also love it, too, I just hadn't had time to go out and buy him one, so I regifted mine (then bought one for myself, too). I also re-gifted candles. They were one of those generic "I have to give a gift" gifts, so I turned around and made them into a housewarming present for someone else. I don't see anything wrong with it, in principle, especially if it's something that you really think the other person will like."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #8 December 19, 2005 I think the fear in regifting is that the person who gave you the gift in the first place will come over to your house and say "so, how's that astronaut pen working out for you?" and you have to say "um, uh, it's in the shop." but really, outside of an episode of Seinfeld, when has this EVER happened? Just regift, nobody cares. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveStMarys 0 #9 December 19, 2005 I have to admit....I really don't see what is so wrong in it. Y'all have brought up good points. If you "already have one", don't like it, too small, too big, etc, why the hell not? BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

BillyVance 35 #10 December 19, 2005 I regift some gifts, especially those I can't use or can't take back for exchanges. Two years ago I got a gift certificate for Express (a small clothing store usually found in malls). I went, and didn't really care for the styles there, so this time I gave it to my brother while he was in town visiting our folks to see if he saw anything he liked in the store for himself, or his daughter or wife... At least it won't go to waste, and I can't exchange the stupid card for cash...
