I'm sorry if I posted this on the wrong section, am not sure what section is the appropriate one for it. Well, hope the modey can moved it to the right one. . . Why is regifting seen as a taboo? I don't think there's anything wrong with it if the gift still looks new and unopened. What do you think?   P.S: Regift:to give an unwanted gift to someone else; to give as a gift something one previously received as a gift |

There is nuffin bad in regifting as far as the original giver is oblivious of ur deed. PS. Dont make the mistake of presenting it back to the person that gave U! |

if u consider the fact that a gift was picked out especially for u and the thot behind it. . . giving it away signifies that u didnt appreciate d effort. . . thats why regifting is seen as such a taboo. but when u also consider that not much thot is put into gift buying these days anyways, u cld justify regfting. . . i do it, as long as no one can tell and i am sure the gift giver wld not notice that i dont hav it anymore. i wldnt advise it if it was, say a lamp given by ur mum. . . she obviously wld notice if it wasnt in ur house and worse still, if she recognises it in someone elses. alot of thot needs to go into regifting, many feelings cld be hurt if it isnt done properly |

^ I agree. |

@poster there is nothing wrong in regift. In fact i am doing it this year. Musa is the only person who is not getting a regift. hahahahahah  HR.hotness:I disagree with you on this And what if you don't have any use for the gift ?. For example, my mom gave me two jordache jeans. I really appreciate her giving them to me. But do i really need them? No. So i am giving them to my Phillipino friend sister. I think if you give unwanted gifts to folks who are needed - there is nothing wrong with it. I appreciate the effort but if someone in need of it more than me then I am giving it away. Sometimes folks have gifts sitting in their homes for years not using them and eventually they throw them away. So why not make someone happy  .Peace |

Stingy girls! Instead of you to say you dont have money to buy a new gift for the person, you opt to repackage it and give someonelse! Psssf! I hope all your valentine gifts and birthday presents were all re gifts because the true owners realised how worthless they were and could only be fit for a worthless recipient like you! |

Why would you think about "re-gifting". . . .? It's rude . . . .I think if you dont even want the gift you should keep it and not use it. . . . instead of giving it out and the "giver"sees it with some1 else. . . . PErsonally, I'd take it as an insult. @ Ebony. How u dey |
| Re: Is It A Crime To Regift? by DaPhoenix(f): 12:24am On Dec 24, 2008 |
sillyboy: Would you prefer if I give it to a charity? |
| Re: Is It A Crime To Regift? by AdamBrody1(m): 12:27am On Dec 24, 2008 |
@ebony You're such an ingrate!!! Arre you crying because of the chewed up bubble gum I gave you as a gift? shioooorrr, gimme back, I was going to give it to my dog before, but I thought you'd appreciate it more lol That was funny i have to admit, i was laughing after reading it.

| Re: Is It A Crime To Regift? by sillyboy(m): 12:31am On Dec 24, 2008 |
DaPhoenix: Must you give out what I give you?. . . . Couldnt you have bought something if you feel like being "charity" |
| Re: Is It A Crime To Regift? by DaPhoenix(f): 12:37am On Dec 24, 2008 |
sillyboy: I have lots of it/ I don't like it and I hate clutter, you hate it when I re-gift, what else is left? sillyboy: No, I don't buy things I already have or I don't like and I just drop money in the charity boxes. |
| Re: Is It A Crime To Regift? by Hauwa1: 12:37am On Dec 24, 2008 |
eh? ummm i don't like doing it. there is this lady i know who loves regiving food in naija. during christmas time, pple cooking and giving food. my mom don't like us eating her food because chances are it is the other pple food; she just remove the meat, pour her own stew on top and send it out. might change though. i have 2 boxes of china given to me by my oyinbo friends. it has been with me for sometime now and i dont use it. so i might have to give it out. |
| Re: Is It A Crime To Regift? by sillyboy(m): 12:44am On Dec 24, 2008 |
DaPhoenix: Hmmm. . . .thanks. . . .you were very explicit. . . . |
| Re: Is It A Crime To Regift? by bluespice(f): 12:45am On Dec 24, 2008 |

| Re: Is It A Crime To Regift? by Cayon(f): 12:45am On Dec 24, 2008 |
*Hauwa*:Thank you. And give them to 2 ppl who are not on your xmas list. After all, you didn't spend any money so you have nothing to lose God Bless you Peace |

I'm sorry if I posted this on the wrong section, am not sure what section is the appropriate one for it. Well, hope the modey can moved it to the right one. . . Just add boyfriend to the topic and it becomes a romance topic. E.g. Is It A Crime To Regift a gift from a boyfriend? Improvise girl!!! |
| Re: Is It A Crime To Regift? by SisiJinx: 12:50am On Dec 24, 2008 |
@ DaPhoenix Fantasies? Whoa! Hol' up! . . . are you telling me you can use chocolate fountain for things other than pouring Herseys? Dan Allah. . . SPILL! Hey, there ain't no shame in my bushness, I admit it proudly. @ Ebony_Silk The only useful gift I got last year was Gameboy. Everything else was. . . "Oh wow. Gee, how. . . How lovely. . . You. . . You really shouldn't have. . . Really." :\ @ Adam Brody Playas club eh? Ah. . . I got you, I got you. For those who don't know. . . In Heartbreak Speak, Playas club means Pity Party Club where guys meet and have a little hugging session . . . Ya know hugging out their pain. @ Bluespice You are a minimalist too! Did I say Kindred spirits? Well that's an understatement. |

| Re: Is It A Crime To Regift? by DaPhoenix(f): 1:01am On Dec 24, 2008 |
Sisi Jinx: Too explicit but it involves him licking the chocolate off my body . . . any part of it. |
| Re: Is It A Crime To Regift? by sillyboy(m): 1:08am On Dec 24, 2008 |
People shouldnt give out gifts that are given to them, most especially the gifts given to them by their spouse of bf/gf or whatever. . . . . If y'all know u gonnnna give it out. . . .then reject it instantly whenever its offered. . . . Must you collect every gift given to u? |
| Re: Is It A Crime To Regift? by Tatase(f): 1:16am On Dec 24, 2008 |
I don't think there's anything wrong with re-gifting. Like bless someone with something you don't need or are never going to use. I mean I don't think you re-gift everything, some things have sentimental value but many things are taste items as in many times you get other things e.g. perfume or fabric or things that are not to your taste and you appreciate them, but you know you're never going to use them. Also sometimes you get something you already have. Or certain WTF (what the eff) items all of which you appreciate but are never in a million years going to use. Why let them go to waste? Perfect opportunities at birthdays and christmas to regift. |
