Are you a regifter?

[Chazmatazz269]

This is a curious custom. I’ve never done it, but i don’t necessarily have a problem with it.
Have you regifted? Do you do it routinely?
Has it ever backfired? How would you feel if you learned that someone gave away something that you gifted to them?

[Purpleronnie]

I have done it , no more than a couple of times. Generally I treasure what I’m gifted , especially when it’s from a loved one.


On the occasions I have re-gifted , it’s been house warming and engagement gifts. I regifted them and told the receiver they were bought for me. I couldn’t pass them off as my idea and from me , that wouldn’t sit well with me.

I think it depends on why.

What really is a gift? What is its purpose? It sounds silly to ask but there's a difference between an uncle who never talks to you gifting a blender because they love cooking and are hoping it will bring you closer vs the same guy gifting a snow globe he got at a Broadway show.

To regift the blender without upgrading to a new one would be an insult to their goodwill.

Yet to regift the snow lobe to a fan of the medium it belongs to would be to honor the spirit of the gift.

In other words you could say what really matters is you've found a way to respect their generosity by making it meaningful.

I've never done it. I am appreciative of any gifts.

I would still keep it if I didn't like it because it would remind me of the person that gave it to me.

Nope.

I have many flaws, but stinginess is for sure not amongst those.

I have successfully done it before. I don't have a problem with it.

[LC75LC71]

No. I am a repurposer. I take a shitty gift and find another purpose for it!

[ChicoFromThe305]

That is such an asshole thing to do

[Cidknee]

Nah!

[Staximus]

Never

[Bloodparadise]

I give back
