Would you give a gift that you received from someone to somebody else?

No, I don't believe in regifting, but a lot of people do it and I guess it's become acceptable. I'd rather donate it to charity and hope that someone else gets good use out of it.

Sure - I think it is acceptable, and if I already have one, or just do not need it, I place it with several others I have, and when the need arises, I just give it to someone else!

only if the person your giving it to doesn't know the person who gave it to you in the first place

re-gifting happens more often than you might think. I would and have done it, but with guidelines. It has to be something nice that just isn't suited to me. Then it must be suited to the person I am giving it to. I also never re-gift to people who know each other, I actually don't re-gift to people who live in the same state. If I get something nice from a friend I cannot make use of, I have several neices in different states. I may send it on to them. I don't think it is bad. It is worse to let it be wasted on me if I will never enjoy it as someone else might. Never re-gift something you think is tacky...that's awful. But for instance, because of my coloring I look terrible in yellow. But I have one neice that looks gorgeous in yellow. Why shouldn't she have it?

I wouldn't pass it as a Christmas or birthday gift, but I would give away something that was given to me if I knew that the other person would truly appreciate it.

For the record, I hate Christmas and birthdays, because I feel that you shouldn't need a reason to give something to someone, or ever feel obligated to give a gift. I was unemployed for this Christmas season, and I felt horribly guilty because I knew that I couldn't talk my family out of giving me gifts, but I couldn't afford to give them any in return. I particularly felt guilty about the children. I really wish that I could have afforded something for them.

NO!!! WHEN I WAS IN 3RD GRADE, WE WERE EXCHANGING PRESENTS FOR CHRISTMAS. THE GIRL THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO GIVE ME A PRESENT GAVE ME A BOOK. THE FIRST AND SECOND PAGE WERE GLUED TOGETHER. I WENT BACK HOME AND UNGLUED THEM. IT SAID" HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARY!! MOM AND DAD" I FELT AWFUL, COS IT TOOK ME SEVERAL DAYS TO FIND A GOOD PRESENT FOR HER AND SHE JUST GRABBED A BOOK SHE DIDN'T LIKE!!!

The answer is no, think about your friend's effort of buying those things, you must show respect with at least keeping it while you didn't found it very useful. It is so sad to think about what you give as a gift to a person would end up in another persons hand that we didn't really know.

I don't like regifting. I think if you give someone a gift it should require some effort from you by thinking ahead what they'd like, go to the store or on the internet to find something, etc. If you regift it's more like---I don't want or use this---of my friends and family who might want this? I guess I'll give it to....

If you have something you don't want and is in good condition give it to Goodwill or the Salvation Army.

Since you have accepted the gift you have respected the sentiments of your friend. As you have the same gift with you, there is no problem in passing out to some one else. All of us do it. Further it also depends as to who is gifting it. There have been cases when the gift presented to you attracts the attention of one your friend. There is no harm in re-gifting it. Only in situation where the giver pleads that the gift may not be parted as it is out of affection it is then that i would not part with it.

"Regifting", huh? I wouldn't usually. In unusual circumstances in which there is no way either would ever find out, and that the gift is something I *know* would truly be valued by the one receiving it, I might. Also, if it's something given to me with the giver telling me to "keep it if I want it", or pass it on to someone else, in which case, I wouldn't hide from the recipient that it is "regifted", and it would just be a for-no-particular-reason gift, not a Christmas or birthday gift.

I have but you have to be careful. My sister actually gave me a book that I bought for her a few years ago. I liked the book and told her so when I gave it to her ( i had my own copy already) however two years later I open a gift and it is the book I gave her. It had the note I had wrote on the inside cover and everything. She had never even opened it. Oh well. I just gave away the other copy I had as a late christmas gift this year.

I wouldn't suggest it but if you do don't give it to someone that knows the person that gave it to you. ;o)

Yep. If it was something I had no use for and I knew someone who would love it, I'll give it to them. It's better than it sitting somewhere collecting dust or throwing it out.

Yes, it is commonly known as re-gifting. There is nothing wrong with re-gifting as long as you know the gift you are passing isn't something just as useless to the person you're giving it to.

There is even a holiday game played (White Elephant or Yankee) where you bring in a gift you don't want and play a game to swap gifts with other players. Of course, you take your chances by ending up with a gift worse than the one you brought but it is really fun all the same.

No Way!

Make sure they don't know each other, better yet that they live in different towns.

Regifting??? Yeah, I regift--if I can't use it maybe someone else can. You just have to be careful and not regift to the person you got the gift from!

Go for it hero!!!!

Absolutely! I just would never let the person know that.

Hell yes!!!!

I've got a closet shelf dedicated to regiftables, yes. Just be careful not to give it back to the same person or someone they know!

I know a lot of people that re-gift.

Sure would!!

yes; for the same reason as you list.

No cos that would be so rude..

why yes, maybe they can use it more than you.

NO I usally pawn it so I like expensive gifts.

I will.

No,that's rude. One of my friend did that, and my other friend was mad at her.So dont ever do that.

it is called re-gifting and yes- but there are rules
1. you can't give it to someone in the same circle of friends
2. you have to give it away within 364 days of receiving it
3. you can only use/wear it 3 times before it cannot be re-gifted

yes, i did that this past Christmas in fact. nothing wrong with giving something to someone that can use it, especially if you can't.
