inspired by the worst present thread... i was wondering if anyone has ever regifted???
i have a couple times... if i have received a bottle of wine or one of those gift boxes with cheese, crackers, summer sausage and mustard in em i will take them to a party and give them to the host... but i havent ever rewraped something and given it to a friend or family member...
a side story - when i worked for a grocery chain one year for a gag gift i gave the Store Director a canned ham... i received it from him the next year... a few years had gone by and i was working for him again (we both had transferred to different stores) i wrapped it up and gave it back to him... the look on his face was priceless!!! he couldnt believe that i still had it... he then threw it away saying that it had ran its course... well the next year guess what i got... yup he had fished it back out of the trash and gave it back to me the next year... we no longer work together but i came across it and i am thinking he is gonna get a secret santa via USPS...

regifting is my secret talent. Today I got a box of pecans as a gift from work, It now has my mothers name on it. Sadly she will love it. And it will save me 30 bucks.

Just got one of those "desk paper weight" things. It was golf ball related. But what gave it away (other than '"who would want this") was that one end of the box was missing it's styrofoam.
Point being...if you are going to do it....give it to someone who would actually "want" it. And #2, don't make it obvious.

My fiance is regifting the Rachel Ray cookbook my sister got her last year to her aunt this year.
The recipes sucked anyway.
No matter. Her aunt is a sucky cook.

I got a fondue set, but the one I wanted had a double boiler, so I bought the one I wanted and "regifted" the sterno can one.
But she knew it was a regift, she still loved it!
I told my dad I wanted slippers, feet lotion and polish and all that for christmas. HE asked ME if I minded regifted stuff! He said he got all that for my mom and she never touched it, I said heck yeah I want it!!

Yes I have regifted some junk that I received at an office Christmas party. I'm sure whoever got my regift went ahead and re-regifted it!!!

Last year, a co-worker gave me a bottle of port wine, and my wife and I don't drink, so we re-gifted to a cousin who does.

I'M laughing because you don't drink.
Not that there is anything wrong with that... but if not for alcohol... I'd be in jail for killing my boss.

I have a very large family, so no one can afford to buy for everyone. So, everyone brings a gift and we play dirty santa.
the first 4 or 5 years we were married, my wife and regifted wedding gifts for our dirty santa gifts..... and all of my aunts FOUGHT over the stuff we thought was ugly.... go figure.
