Yesterday, Ashley (thanks for the idea) left a comment about how her in-laws wanted to do a “regifted” Christmas this year and I thought it was genius! Everyone would just give each other items they already had (new I am assuming) that just didn’t work for them. It seems like a great idea to get rid of items you don’t want and also, to save a little money on shopping! Plus, if everyone knows it advance that the theme of the gifts is “regifted” there won’t be any hurt feelings about it.
But I want to know if you have ever regifted anything without the person knowing that you had once received it as a gift? Did the person find out? Where they okay with it? I have mixed feeling regifting. I think it would depend where / who I got the gift from if I would regift it or not. If my employer (not that they ever did this when I worked) gave out iPads to all their employees and, say, my mom really wanted an iPad so I gave it to her for Christmas, I wouldn’t feel guilty about that! But like if it were my grandma gifting me this special necklace she bought just for me, I wouldn’t – even if it wasn’t my style and my Grandma would never find out.
So I’m curious. Would you / do you regift? Do you have certain “rules” about it or if you have received something you think someone would like more, do you just wrap it up and pretend like you picked it out? Or do you tell? Have you ever received a regifted gift? Maybe something with a tag still attached? I’d love to hear about it!
