Do you re-gift gifts that are given to you that you don't like or want?

Do you re-gift?

Do you tell the recipient of your re-gifted gift that it’s something that was given to you, that you didn’t want?

Do you pretend this is something you bought for the recipient?

Based on a discussion on TV morning show from this morning (Kelly and Michael Strahan – I’m off today).

To answer my own question, no, I don’t. The only thing I’ll give away might be a food gift, like candy, which I need like a hole in the head. I’ll share it with work people.

I know the teachers at my daughter’s school get all kinds of gifts they don’t want, and they have a “swap meet” where they swap the gifts they received that they don’t want, or they bring the smelly hand soaps and lotions to the teacher’s bathroom. This year, I’m giving the teachers maple syrup with pancake stuff, nice jelly, herbal tea, beautifully packaged, which I figure is more practical and somewhat luxurious.
