Here's...Ah yes, the age old debate about regifting. Here's my thoughts on it. First of all, I never regift anything that's tacky and that I don't like. If I get a tacky gift, I either give it to GoodWill (maybe someone ELSE will like it...) or throw it out if it's just small and useless. I've gotten MANY gifts I cannot use and are simply nothing I would ever want.<BR/><BR/>If I get something that I truly feel is nice, but I can't use I wouldn't have any problem giving it to someone else. Here's an example... one time I got a beautiful Nutcracker. It was really cool, but I just don't decorate for Xmas. We have nowhere to put nice things without them getting broken by the cats (and imagine the tree - omg forget it!) I gave it to a friend of mine who collects them. She LOVED IT. I at least have standards when I regift things. lol.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of tacky (maybe I can just ramble a little more...) we are expecting a most tacky gift this year that will be going to GoodWill. We had a grill on our Amazon.com wish list. A NICE Weber grill. Someone in Kevin's family who has very little money wants to get us a "novelty" grill, so they told my IL's not to buy us the grill. The IL's already had it for us, but said they couldn't give it to us because of the "family politics." Kevin and I are 100% CERTAIN we're getting a keg grill. Certain. We like to drink as much as any normal couple. No one has a CLUE what to give us. They get us liquor-related things that go to good use... but I don't want them for Xmas every year!!!!<BR/><BR/>So, that is definitely a gift I will not give to anyone. I'd be too embarrassed. It's going to GoodWill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6353538343839930713.post-40812603224114413482008-12-09T23:31:00.000-05:002008-12-09T23:31:00.000-05:00I am totally not a regifter but have a funny story...I am totally not a regifter but have a funny story. My friend got a gift from a sister in law (a leather attache case) and it still had the card tucked inside from when the first person had given it to the sister! Now that's bad! At least remove the card if you're going to regift!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13223489027437878907noreply@blogger.com
