Yes, I have and I do "re-gift". The way I look at it, I would rather someone get a gift that they can put to good use because I know I will not be using it and it will just get stored somewhere in my house.

I have regifted new items. For example, I was given a piece of costume jewelry that I would never wear, so I regifted it for an office party. I have also regifted purses that were not my taste, and candles or lotions. I think as long as the item is new, it is ok.

Yes and to have fun, I saved a gift my sister-in-law gave me for Christmas. I re-packaged it and gave it back to her for Christmas!  She was so happy with the gift, (so she said). But she could not say any different now could she.   Have some fun this Christmas

No, I don't exchange with too many people and if someone gives me something, I am pretty sure they wanted ME to have it, not someone else.

I learned a lesson from a lady in her 80s when she gave away a gift I gave her.  She actually told me about it.  She shared how much it had meant when she was in rehabilitation.  And this moment came in her life where she could pass it on and make someone else so happy with that same gift.   I was touched.  With the time to think about it I learned a great lesson.  We should give gifts freely and with an open heart.  No strings - No Ties - Just open heart.  Gifts have a way of finding where they are supposed to be sometimes.    When you give or receive, the gift serves a purpose.  Not about the material item or our personal taste necessarily or the dollar value BUT truly the thought that someone wanted to share with you.  Regifting can work just like the theory of someone helping you out and to repay them you pass it on doing something nice or to help someone out and hopefully it touches lives and makes a tremendous difference.  You may never know BUT you don't have to know for it to touch other lives.  So I give and receive freely now.  A gift I give someone could be re-gifted and change someone else's world!  And I don't even have to know about it for that to happen.   When we give a gift free of attachments -  openly giving from the heart - voicing to whom you give the gift to do as they see fit, you might be blessed with some great stories of lives that were touched because you were compelled to buy something for someone else.

I love re-gifting!  You get that horrible gift that you will never use, I always turn that into a white elephant gift at christmas.  Or you get something you already have, but there is no receipt or tags so you can't return it, I regift.  Come on, everyone does it!

I think it's wrong to to return or regift to I would never do it.  If I don't like a gift I just politely say thank you and put it away in a closet somewhere.

Gift Cards?  That's an awesome gift to re-gift. I would love to receive them.  that way, you can go to the store and buy whatever YOU want as opposed to getting something that you really don't like.

I think we all have re-gifed-there is always something someone gave us that we do not need...comes in handy for a quick gift

Yes. There was one time, as part of a secret Santa thing, I received a walkman (remember those?). It was something I didn't want, so I gave it to someone else as part of another secret Santa thing.

NO, I'VE NEVER RE-GIFTED, BUT I'VE HAD IT DONE TO ME MORE THAN ONCE....MY HUSBANDS GRANDMOTHER RE-GIFTED SOMETHING WE GAVE TO HER FOR CHRISTMAS TWO YEARS PRIOR....TALK ABOUT HURT FEELINGS  :( DIDN'T SHE THINK WE WOULD REMEMBER. MY MOTHER-IN-LAW ALWAYS RE-GIFTS. WHAT GETS ME IS SHE DOES THE BIG PUT ON OF HOW WONDERFUL A GIFT IS SHE RECEIVES AND THEN SHE GIVES IT TO SOMEONE ELSE AS A GIFT ON A DIFFERENT OCCASSION....CAN'T STAND IT! I NEVER WANT TO BUY HER ANYTHING!
