OK? It should be encouraged

Otherwise, the best gift is often the receipt.

 

[kmoney]

I would say no, unless all parties are aware of what is happening.

I would say no, unless all parties are aware of what is happening.

See, I would say no too. Unless the only party aware of what is happening is the re-gifter. lain:

 

[WizardofOz]

I don't have room for all the useless junk I already have!

 

[Town Heretic]

:think: Well, there's grace...

 

[WizardofOz]

:chuckle: It's the thought that counts!

 

[Architect]

White elephant gift exchange?

I've re-gifted before, but it was still new in-box. Surely that's ok...........

[ghost]

That's pretty much all I do.

Unless it's food.

And then it depends on how much I've had to drink.

 

[Persephone66]

What's "re-gift"?

 

[ghost]

What's "re-gift"?

It's like when someone gives you a bra as a gift, and you give it to a girl.

I was wondering why you sent me that empty bottle last year. :think:

Or rather, when someone gives a bra to a girl and she gives it to you. :squint:

Ghost, everybody knows you don't re-gift things you'll actually use. lain:

oops!

 

[ebenz47037]

I think it's okay, as long as it's something you don't need going to someone who needs it (not the original person who gave the gift).

Like money :greedy:

It's normal for my friends to buy me clothing and even undergarments/lingerie for Christmas/birthdays and they usually get the size right, so I'm still not sure what you mean.

If you don't like it, and you don't want to take it back to the store, giving it to someone else is re-gifting.

Is throwing something technically sending it? :idunno:

 

[aSeattleConserv]

Is it ok to regift?

NEVER!

On that note, Merry Christmas counselor.
