Couldnt you find some towels or sheets? I would have a hard time giving away a 25 dollar gift card.

HAHAHA! I actually have enough stuff to re-gift from this Christmas to get me through almost the whole year of family birthdays! Let's see....An NFL throw to my DS that he hates the team of just happens to be the fave team of my brother. It was fom my ILs, so I will re-gift it to my brother. My DSs got color wonder stuff that I will give my niece for her birthday. My MIL gave me a shirt tha I did not care for, so I took it back and got a gift card that I will re-gift to my SIL. I got a candle from a neighbor that will end up in the hands of my other SIL. My oldest DS got Yugio cards..he is too old for, so I exchanged them for football cards for my other DS's b-day in February. On top of all that...my DSs got so many toys r us gift cards, after taking them and letting them each pick something out at the store, we will have enough to cover all their birthdays for the year. So..I guess I am re-gifting to THEM too.

Nothing for Christmas, but I got some really cool potpori (sp?) as part of a going away gift when I moved and I put it in a nice glass dish today and there is so much left over that I put it away in my Christmas stash to put with a nice glass dish and a candle for my mom.

I too,have already regifted items from an early Christmas get together.Things were such as a
bath set that was not my fragrance choice but my sister loved it. A perfume set that my niece love and a candy dish. I try to make sure if I am regifting that it is something they will like and use. It is normally easy because I am the baby of 5 and I have 12 nieces and nephews just on my side.Then you know my husbands family and other people that keep popping up on my list.

All regifts is from my mom- they are going to my il's family. A Thomas Kinkade tin with a candle inside (for MIL) and a cucumber mellon candle for one of my SIL- I usually pull one of their names for Christmas!

Hmmmmmm nothing this year. Dh usually brings home nice boxes of See's Candies from his work and i give those out to neighbors and friends but he didn't bring any home this year.

I also don't tend to exchange with too many people so i don't get much to regift.

Hmm... it seems like candles and perfume/lotion sets are on the top of the regifting list. Do you ever wonder if a gift you got was a regift?

I will have to regift the kid's presents from the inlaws. High Ho Cherry-O game ( we already have that), a doll- they gave dd the exact same doll for her bday in August- guess they liked it so much they bought two? And a Melissa and Doug chunky wooden puzzle that is really very cute but about right for an 8 month old, not a 2 yo.

Ohh, I hate saying this, but usually we do get something that we can re-gift. But so far we haven't gotten anything!! Now, I am still going to MS in Jan. for xmas with my family. so maybe there I can find something to use for re-gifting.
