I don't know if you would call it re gifting but I have given man gifts that I won't you to gifts for families drives and such as that. I really hate seeing people not getting anything at the holidays. I have also given them things that I have made during the year but that have not sold in my store.

I've not only regifted, I've gone to PARTIES where it is a regifitng event!
Sometimes I have a gift I never even opened and I'll tell the person who I want to give it to, it's a regift, would they like it. I have NEVER had someone say no.
When attending parties where I know I didn't likely receive the gift from anyone there, I will repackage and regfit without permission.
Finally those parties: since their very purpose is to allow regifiting, everyone enjoys getting something new!

My daughter got some used Games for her little Game Player from a little boy at her b-day party a few years ago and was thrilled to get them since she only had one game before that. These days it just makes sense to regift especially if it is a great gift that means something to the recieving party!

Of course, everyone has done the re-gift at some point in their life. It may not be on purpose either, mabye you show up to a christmas party and forget about someone. You just happen to have a simple soap basket in your car already rapped up. Just throw it in a gift back and your set. This year though, I literally just drove around with the Ferrera Rochers (spelling) chocolates in my trunk. I gave out about 10 boxes of them and people were appreciated.

Absolutely, especially if it a family heirloom or treasured item from one loved one to another. Grandparent to grandchild, parent to child, close friend to close friend.
If you know someone doesn't approve of re-gifting, don't do it with any gifts to them.
Just remember, one man's "trash" is another man's "treasure".
I guess you'd call it re-gifting of a sort. I often take parts of a gift and combine it with parts of other gifts and perhaps a new item, package attractively and Viola, a new gift!

Yes. I have been guilty of re-gifting in the past. But now I make it known that I would prefer gift cards and I give those out as gifts also (to prevent others from re-gifting my gifts to them).
I also pre-shop with them and have them indirectly point out items that they may like or need just in case I do want to wrap a gift for them.

Only once. My best friend gave me a very nice fur coat. I hate coats. My mother needed a coat, so I gave it to her. I fear every winter that my friend will ask about the coat.
I believe that if the item is a better blessing for someone else, then I should pass it on rather than let it sit around and serve no purpose. Regifting is a good thing.

With tough times as we are all having , we have given lots this year to Outreach Centers , Local Church and Community Centers. So many are in need . Most are all grateful to receive. I really enjoy giving the Toys to the Children . Yes we have also re gifted when the other person wants the gift so much.Answered by KaysGifts (Novice with 192 pts.)

I've regifted skincare and beauty packs (which just "may" have been regifted to me) when I was broke. Older people are actually more likely to regift than younger people. Then again, they're also more likely to give gifts at all.

I have regifted a few times. I will take something that my family members (who I don't see very often) gave me that I won't wear or use and regift it for white elephant parties or give it to a friend who I think the gift would work for. It saves money and time, and it helps to get that unused gift to someone who will actually use or appreciate it (hopefully). Cheers!Answered by jorgerocks (Novice with 1 pts.)
