regifting - what is the etiquette

Regift I do I do still have stuff from last year but I’ll wade my way through bath gifts etc but I’ve loads of candles and stuff I don’t use. I’ll regift and be done!

We should be celebrated the poverty of a child born in a stable, not moaning about the gold and frankincense we've been given.
Is moaning the in word on GN when someone writes a comment that is not to another's liking?
I would agree with the first part your above post keepingquiet.

I suppose if we already have enough gold and frankincense we might like some nice soap though.

Just saying!

Aren't the gifts give to represent the ones the wise men bought, though?

Corporate gifts should be illegal. No more than blatant bribery. Ex used to refuse them. Totally unnecessary.

I've been given gold but never frankincense or myrrh.

They sound ideal for regifting. The only rule in doing this is to make sure you don't give the item back to the person who gave it to you! My cousin gave me a book one year that I had given her (I knew it was the same one as it had a small mark on it!) She obviously forgot I gave it! However we had a laugh about it.

Regift them, just check whether there is an expiry date on the products

I would regift as long as they are 'In date' and the brand still exists ! Just something to be aware of..make sure that when the Christma label has been written with your name on, the pen hasn't left an indentation on the product so that in a certain light th recipient would be able to see and know it had been gifted before. Otherwise I don't see a problem with it, for instance if it was stuff I liked andcould use, I'd be very pleased with it.

I would like to think that if a gift I gave someone was not wanted that it would not be pushed in a cupboard and forgotten.
So would not mind at all if a gift I had given was regifted.
I regift but take care to look for any dates on the product, or writing by the giver - some do write on the actual packaging.
Or if struggling to think who to regift to, give your gifts to a charity shop. Money is tight for some so they will be looking for cheaper bargains in high street charity shops.

I would use them. Keep them somewhere cool until you've used your other things up. They don't expire anything like as soon as the manufacturers would like to suggest.

Oh escaped!! could some of your whisky escape to me!! Love it , and have some treasured single malts of various kinds I am savouring . How about a swap for something he does like? In my womens group I have already suggested that in january we bring our unwanted gifts to a meeting. So we are going to either have a swap session, where we will rate gifts with some gold stars on a sheet. You wouldnt expect to swap a candle for a jumper . so your gift gets a star rating, and then you can spend those stars with anyone else. So should end up a good time, or alternatively we said we might bring gifts - such as the candles etc - and these are auctioned and a bit of fun had with them. The money raised will be shared half to the group funds and half to a charity. You could raise some much needed money for the charity you support with your whisky. Are you anywhere near North Yorkshire and i will come!!

my Mother regifts me all her candles. I am very grateful
