My neighbor who lives across the street from me, gave me a small wall calendar; but I already have a 9“x11” one, that the Union of Concerned Scientists sent to me.

I’m going to see if anyone in my extended family, wants the calendarito. ;-)

I was accused of regifting twice.

I once paid $75 for a $250 silver vase with a mother-of-pearl patterned lining. It was the demo that a dealer had purchased to show his customers, and he sold it to me for $75 because he was no longer in the business,

The girl I gave it to, gave one glance and said, “regift.”

To avoid a rift I did not ask for it back, but I sure regret giving it, and resent the comment, I had intended to show her that even though I didn’t have a lot of money, I still could give her something tasteful and classy.

A bottle of wine that I won at a work Xmas party. I regifted it to a relative. I don’t drink.

I don’t. I haven’t.

I have never re gifted anything.

Lots and lots of candles and bottles of wine.

Crystal bowl, bath soaps, incense, potpourri, lotion, t-shirts, photo album, frames, vase, Tiffany key chain, there are probably others I don’t remember.

Like @JLeslie, oodles of things. In fact, I have rubber maid container in my basement just for gifts I’ll be regifting the following year.

This year, we are regifting four table cloths, three candles, three bracelets, two necklaces, a pair of earrings, and a 10” crystal Santa Claus.

And, this article just pooped up in my Apple News feed from the New York Times on regifting.

I regift a lot, people give me lots of lotions and other things I wont use. Wine, socks, candy, gift cards, etc..

I don’t regift. I was raised that it’s the thought that counts, so I do my best to appreciate the thought behind the gift!!!

@LadyMarissa: I don’t think of re-gifting as meaning the recipient is not appreciative. I think of re-gifting as meaning the gift is not something the recipient wants or needs. The recipient doesn’t want to hurt the feelings of the person that gave it to them.

I think you can appreciate the thought and still give the gift to someone else.

If someone gave me something I don’t need, want or have room in my house for, it doesn’t mean I’m forced to keep it.

@LadyMarissa How is it appreciative to have a gift you gave me sit in my closet? You didn’t think enough or know me enough to find out what I might actually need or want, so although I appreciate you thinking of me and gifting me, better someone actually get use out of what you bought me. I don’t drink wine or light candles and I don’t want to pig out on tons of chocolates.

I don’t do that. If I want to give a present to someone I just buy them something new. But I know that some people will squeeze a dollar until the President screams.

^^So you see it as being cheap.

In some cases, not all.

^^I’m happy to be called cheap in this instance. If you want to waste money on buying gifts when you have one sitting in your closet go right ahead.

I just raffled off 4 regifts at a party.

I hope you have a lot of money. I figure people who call out regifting as cheap either have a lot of money, or never will have a lot of money.

My finances are my concern. If you’re into regifting more par to you. I’d rather buy something new that I know they want, or heard thru the grapevine that they are into. And I’m not going to indulge in mudslinging over an innocuous remark.

If I re-gift something, it will still be new when I give it to another person. It will still have tags on it and it will never have been used. To me, re-gifting doesn’t mean giving away a used item. It means giving away something someone gave me and I can’t use it or don’t want it. I don’t want to keep it because I don’t want it or can’t use it. I don’t have room in my house to keep stuff I don’t use.

If someone gave me a microwave and I don’t use microwaves, and I need a gift for Karen and she would love a microwave, I would see nothing wrong with giving her the microwave I have that is brand new, in a box. I don’t see that as cheap. I don’t have room in my house to store an unwanted microwave.
