Then, I sit down and read my feeds and Halley Suitte is talking about regifting and links to a blog about it.
At least two wedding gifts I received were regifted - or maybe just something they bought and didn't like. One was a coffee carafe that had obviously been used (coffee splashes on the outside) and one was a clothes steamer that wasn't even put back into its box correctly.
That was tacky.
The whole reason regifting is a problem lies in the fact that people regift things that they don't like. Most of the time these are things that NO ONE would like. So begins a whole cycle of regifting nasty presents.
Instead, let's regift things we like. Stay with me here, folks. I received a cobalt blue vase that I love, but don't generally display because I just don't have room. It would be lovely in my best friend's house. Why can't I gift it to her with a note that I loved this vase and love knowing it will be seen and admired in her home?Every American has things they love, but don't (or can't) use. Why not gift those to friends and family?
