Here are few reasons to consider regifting:

You don't like it. There's no reason to keep something you don’t appreciate. Some items are perfect for passing on.

You already have the item. The person who gave you that blender bought it because they knew that you love smoothies. They just weren’t aware that you already had one.

You don't need it. There are all kinds of things you may think are wonderful but can’t incorporate into your life. For example, delicate leather gloves can be lovely, but may not fit your rugged lifestyle.

You know somebody else will appreciate it much more. You might like the item but know a person who needs it more than you. Regifting can be an act of generosity.

You broke up with the person who gave it to you. There may be gifts you received from a significant other but now that you’re not together you want to purge, especially when the items evoke bad memories. You are under no obligation to keep them, Farley says.

How Not to Regift

“Almost everyone has recycled a gift or two,” says Lisa Mirza Grotts, an etiquette expert known as the Golden Rules Gal based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

However, there are a few regifting no-nos:

Regifting to the original giver. Imagine giving a present to someone who gave the item to you. “That’s a terrible faux pas,” Grotts says. Unless you keep very good records, avoid regifting within a specific social circle.

Regifting in the original wrapping. You may have an idea about what is inside the wrapping paper, but don't be so sure. Take the item out first. “There could be a card inside addressed to you that you didn’t see.” Rewrap, then regift.

Putting an item inthe wrong box. Although it can be tempting to place an item in a luxury retailer's packaging, you're setting the recipient up for embarrassment if they try to return the gift at that store.

Regifting used items. If the item shows any signs of wear and tear, is dirty or has parts missing, do not regift it.

What was your MOST FAVORITE game as a kid and you would LOVE to play again?

I’m living every man’s dream. I’m the one who got away because she fucked everything up, now she desperately wants to come back.

I got played pretty hard by a girl i really liked (she went after another guy that I “don’t need to worry about”) and then a year later I inherited a 200 acre ranch and now I’m building a house on it. She would always tell me how much she would love to leave the city and live on a ranch/farm/acreage. She got word of this (she probably stalks my IG) and now her friend told me she regrets everything and wants me back. I’m obviously not ever giving her the time of day again, and that brings me so much joy in my heart.

Anyway, Im just curious, what would you do? And is this the right move?
