    Funny story .....A guy who I use to work with Richard was a chronic re-gifter to the point he would not even open the gifts to save time on wrapping. One year at our company Xmas gift exchange he got his gift didn't open it ....and later that night gave the gift to a friend the friend opened it and it was a personalized coffee mug that said Richard!!! Talk about being busted as a regifter!!! :D

    LOL..that's a riot.

    Yeah that's bad.

    The one gift im thinking of doing it with is something i received from someone I hardly knew and they knew nothing about me. It was an obligatory gift. So the whole feeling unappreciative thing isn't coming into play for me. I just feel like Im being a cheap.

    I was going to give it to a coworker, I dont think i want to go into the fact with them that it was a gift to me.

    If you truly feel the gift is PERFECT for the coworker, give it to them. Otherwise, you are being cheap. Unless it's a mandatory grab bag, don't exchange with anyone, period.

    I know a woman that has a closet full of gifts to regive. She'll even go as far as giving my kid a bag full of old halloween candy. She puts the candy in those 'free bags with purchase' from the clinique counter.

    To me, that's not thinking about the person, it's thinking "gee, what can I throw at them that will pass as a present?"

    Eh..well yes that is tacky. I wouldn't just blindly regift just to dump a present on someone else. In this case, I think the person might like it. It's just not my taste. Most of the time I put the bad gift in the closet to collect dust or if it's clothing give it to good will.
