Regifting

[Jazzy]

Regifting or regiving is the act of taking a gift that has been received and giving it to somebody else, sometimes in the guise of a new gift.

Have you ever regifted? If so, what was it that you regifted?

Did it all the time. We used to have gift exchanges in at least two places. It was a good way to get it behind us.

I've been a part of exchanges that ask for regifting items. I can't even remember what I regifted but I received a really ugly candle that was 2 feet tall.

I've regifted a few things over the years. If I get a gift I won't use but I know someone else who I think probably will I'll certainly regift. I'd just check to make sure it isn't personalised in some way.

I've received a few things that I suspect were regifted. I remember one book that had a corner of one page cut off. The amount cut off was larger than I would expect if it was just about removing the price tag, so I suspect it was to remove a short personal message to the person who gave it to me. I was mildly amused by it, but didn't think anything less of the gift - I enjoyed the book so whether it was a regift or not didn't matter.
