That's awesome Erv!!

I've regifted maybe one or two times, many years ago.

Does giving something old count as regifting?

[Ervserver]

no, that's called antiquing

[GingerMel]

I've regifted but only in cases where I think another person would enjoy a gift more than I would. I've got some friends who have no idea what I like apparently.

I was given a flannel shirt once and knew I wouldn't wear it, so I wrapped it up and gave it to the brother inlaw who did wear it.

regifting BAD!!!! For Christmas last year my sister gave me the SAME drinking glasses I gave her the year before. How did I know they were the same ones? Because I had written the date on the bottom of the box in small print. I was rather offended and told her about it, she said she hated the way the glasses looked and I told her that she had been saying how much she liked them BLAH BLAH BLAH. well this year will be different because if she gives me the cookies I baked for her last year I will honestly PUKE.

Oh my that's rather sad. Sometimes it pays to know what the person wants. :-D

I think the point is that if you are going to regift you have to do it in the appropriate way. I can't believe someone gave you a gift you gave to them!! hah hah.

Now if she'd given those glasses to someone you were never likely to meet...then it might have been fine.

Well yea if you are gonna regift you must be smart about it
