I have never regifted, other than a bottle of wine once.

Oh I want these!!! Mine are cheap and getting rusty on the edges! :D

Gosh, I would not usually re-gift. BUT:

~ My 4yo got a Leap Pad from an aunt. (Already has one that is collecting dust...) Don't have a receipt... have no use for it... must re-gift it.

~ My 2 yo received the book Rainbow Fish. Have 2 of these... no use for it... give it away?

~ My 7 yo received The Chronicles of Narnia series. He owns the entire series and has read it twice. Ugh... no use for it. Must do something with it!

~ My 7yo received this big "Book of Questions and Answers" ... one from each grandma! One will have to be re-gifted.

They are a nice set, too! I won them at school from a monthly drawing that we do. I'm hoping that I can give them to SIL since I drew her name for next year.

I don't have anything to regift, but I do have a few that I am not too happy about having to exchange! Grrr......sometimes I swear I think my mil does these things to get to me. And this time, it is going to end up COSTING me, too!

Yes. There are a few people in my life that are notorious re-gifters. One is a close family member and I always feel a little sad when I get more candles and lotions when I know that she was given them by someone else and she doesn't want them. I think I would feel better if it was something I would really like but it doesn't feel very personal when I'm given something as a gift just because she doesn't want it. It think I would have felt better about it if she had said, "Hey, someone gave me these and I don't really like it, would you like it?" But when it is given to me in an act of generosity and it isn't generous at all, then I feel like the gift isn't really special. I'm trying not to take it personally.

I wonder if I'm the only one who feels this way.

I don't normally re-gift per se...if we get something that we already have or won't use, I might just say to my sister or friend "oh I got this as a gift and don't think I'll be able to use it, would you like it?".

We did get quite a few duplicates this year, which is funny because normally it doesn't happen too often. My one son got three copies of the "Over the Hedge" DVD and my other son got two copies of "Pirates of the Caribbean". I also got two copies of a cookbook I'd been wanting.

My ds bought me Sand and Sable colonge. I told her that I liked sandlewood scents but did not wear colonge. It was the thought that counted. I will regift to a lady that wears this scent

no regifting here....However I told my mil to regift a towel warmer to us next year!! :D

I think candles are a tough thing to buy for people, so that's probably why they get regifted so much. Some people like food-scented ones (like dh and I do!) and other people like floral ones, for example. I know I've received a bunch of candles that people had received and just regifted them. If they are a scent that dh and I love, then I am totally fine with getting a regifted present. If it is a scent that we don't care for, then I know we can regift it to someone else. It's all good here.
