Things cost a lot of money and instead of wasting a gift by throwing it out or letting it sit in a dusty closet, it's far better to give it to someone else who will appreciate it more. </p> I agree that there is nothing wrong with regifting as long as you do it discreetly and there's no way the sender finds out.

Some of us have high paying jobs and others are on disability or in school. We don't mind seeing last year's items going to the next, or back to the user (remember, the best gift is the one you want yourself–>that's the rule I was taught, buy what fits them, but one you like as well).

As we all are generous in spirit and understanding of circumstances, compassion overrules all the pettiness of some of the comments made previous to this post.

Why should something useful go to waste? That would be greedy. If you can't use it, or don't need it, pass it on. It doesn't need to be a gift, a donation to a charity is a wonderful way to "re-gift".</p> I really don't see re-gifting as selfish or greedy. Why should something useful go to waste?

I personally avoid regifting at all costs, and would rather stuff something in a drawerer. Regifting is just risking have someone find out u've given a present away that they especially picked out for u and paid their hard earned money for. I recently got perfume from my best friend that wrecked but instead i wore it for the whole day just to make her happy. </p> Most of these suggestions are common sense.

If you don't like the gits you recieve, learn to ACCEPT it, not regift it. I never regift it at all. I use it up as usual. Otherwise, nothing. I am getting so sick and tired of selfish, greedy regifters.</p> People, what more do you expect at Christmas? If you don't like the gits you recieve, learn to ACCEPT it, not regift it.

When did not discussing the gift become so unbearable? The people I know will accept such gifts and then mention at later time, in a non abusive way, that something about the gift did not appeal to them. In my world, honesty is the best policy and if discussed accordingly usually this ends up with a more adult and responsible outcome. </p> Regifting is a "slap in the face" insult that those persons that believe it is a good idea should also consider themselves to be spineless.
