OK...Re-gifting....2023

[rareboy]

We all get those gifts we look at and think 'omg, what were they thinking'.....we have about a dozen of them this year and fortunately already have the perfect recipients in mind over the next two dinners...most of them are silly little gifts anyway.

The winners this year though are fairly expensive gifts like an Eddie Bauer parka, designer herbs and spices,

So do you do it?

What are the presents thart you have on your list to pass on?

I don’t get terrible gifts because I request that no one give me anything

I gave the kid 3 gift cards totaling up to almost $100 that I got from work. They were Walmart and I never go there any more.

I've never re-gifted anything, but, since the last time I received a Christmas gift (except for the occasional $20 bill from my sister) in 20 years, it's doubtful I'll be re-gifting anything in the future.

As far as I know, the only things I tend to regift are those silly, tacky things one receives at Christmas party White Elephant exchanges. I remember one item in particular from a decade or so ago, where a bright red, sequined bustier kept returning for some reason year, after year after year

I have not done any regifting, but I do normally give away the fruitcake I get each year. It is yummy, but I don't want all the calories. I think it might have gotten stolen this year because I was told it was sent early this year, but I didn't get it this year. I took a risk this year and gave 5 people cheese making kits. It makes up to 40 different cheeses. I'm kind of curious if people will try it or not.
