OK, how many of you guys re-gift??

I do if at all possible. Every year I get a cheese basket at work that comes pre-wrapped with X-mas paper. As soon as I get it, I put a tag on it for whoever is my intended receiver and slip it in the fridge until its time. Bad yes...(maybe)..., money saved from being cheap, directly for hunting equiptment! grin.gif

Also a few years ago, my brother in-law (Hillbilly173), got married and received this God-awful looking frame as a wedding gift in the month of August. That December 25th, I receive as a gift from him and my new sister in-law this same picture frame with a wedding picture of them in it!!! (Wait, that would be my worst X-Mas gift, not the socks I wrote about in my other post). So anyways, now the following May I get married to my wife and I take this same frame and wrap it up with a pic of me and my bride in it and BINGO... instant X-mas gift. This has been going on back and forth with pics of me dressed like superman and my sister in-law in the recovery room after having a baby. Pic of me picking my nose... back and forth now for X-Mas gifts and birthday gifts ever since X-mas of 1998. All the pics that have been sent back and forth are still in the box with the frame and it has kinda became a family tradition that this goes back and forth. I am actually due to get it this X-mas.... frown.gif

I guess right now, re-gifting sucks.... frown.gifconfused.gifblush.gifgrin.gif

I do... I get some mighty stupid gifts every year...So many that I do not ever feel like opening anything. Teddy bears, popcorn in a stained girly jar, tools that break while opening the package, it goes on. All I ever ask for now is gift certificates.

Re: Regifting - Good or Bad?

I don't exactly consider this re-gifting but sometimes I'll order something from a catalog or the web for myself and it's not exactly what I was expecting when I get it. Instead of going thru the hassles of returning it and paying additional shipping, I just save it and give it to someone else as a gift.
