Poll: Regifting, fantastic or major faux pas?

[takncarabizniz]

Has Regifting become the new norm?
 
I have regifted, in a pinch...but I would only consider it for items that haven't been opened or those completely unnecessary or unsuitable that I can use in something like a "white elephant" exchange, which used to be popular in the workplace...
 
During this time of year, I try to keep things like generically wrapped and carded boxes of chocolates or movie or relaxation baskets that we can give out to neighbors or friends who come to visit or drop off goodies for us.  I know, I know, there is no requirement to reciprocate, but I was taught to always be prepared...

Regifting is about as low as you can go, lower than the breasts of a double D 80 year old.

I have done it....no big deal....just not to the person who gave it to you. ;-)

...or the T-sacs of your great grandpappy, eh, mud?


Under the right circumstances, regifting (or actually just giving things away, no need to wrap) can be great. Especially if it's something really special you know someone would appreciate

It's better than wasting something or throwing it away if someone else can enjoy it.

heehee I've been saving and sending SunShine pictures for years!:x
From Rudolph.....: o ) to fountains and Sunshines and flowers...sunsets.....
to Ect!....peanuts/Shultz characters you built and painted...
I used to occasionally post on polls at myway under revoli and Sun you used to call me ravioli a time or two.: )
I also liked reading those good morning threads from the girl who used to say 'skiing done, and coffee is on'.....I think she was possibly in the military or former, and lived up near...Montana or Idaho...somewhere in the mountains.

Brilliant Pac - don't let Sun catch you at it!
It's better to re-gift than to take it back to the store to get cash for it and find out how much they paid for it on sale!
 
My re-gifts (in a pinch) sometimes go back to the UK - they can't be traced!!!

Alas my original bookmark of sunshine's photobucket is on my original laptop from waaaaay back that sits dark from losing the main screen light a few years back. auugggh. I hear that I can either have the light fixed or pull the harddrive info off it.
  Laptop 2 (that also has Sunny's pictures) is a big dog I haven't used in about a year, as I've been using lightweight number 3 , a netbook.


You are well prepared for Christmas, Tak......and Em, always good to send a regift overseas heehee
