Another "re-gift" thread. What re-gift stories....

have REALLY made you laugh? I work at a funeral home and last year a heating and air conditioner company (who uses our parking lot) brought over a HUGE basket filled with cheese, crackers, etc..My manager told me to take it home. So I did. The card was on the outside. That night DH and I go to our next door neighbor's house and give it to them.

One year a woman I worked with was selling stuff from a catalog called Christmas Around the World. For some reason I bought this stuffed Christmas lamb with a porcelain face. I think I intended to give it to my niece but didn't. Anyhow, every year for Christmas my mom would wrap it up and put it under the tree for me. She would just howl with laughter every year when I would open it. I miss getting that little lamb now that my mom is gone.

On Black Friday, DH & I went to the local mall. We entered a raffle. DH won an iPod Nano. Well, guess what my brother is getting tomorrow. I hope he doesn't mind.

I also won a beautiful clock from Things Remembered. I gave it to my boss for Christmas.

I know, I am awful.

DH's stepmom who is famous for regifting back in the day, gave my BIL a sweater for Christmas.

Kicker was my BIL gave that sweater to his dad for his birthday.

The Secret Santa gift I get from work ALWAYS works for DD's father and wife. Just trying to keep things tolerable.

I have a friend who always gives me what she didn't like from her presents. Now since we have kids the same age my kids get the toys she doesn't want her girl to have. They are always the noisy ones.

I made a big stocking with a bunch of goodies in it for MIL this year.

Then someone at work gave me Calgone body spray as a gift and it went straight into her giant stocking!! I would have never used that stuff.

On my wedding we got a gift that had a crazy looking bunny made from straw and didn't have a name on it. I assumed it was a crazy cousin, but I just found out it was her. I am wrapping it up and giving it to her for Christmas.

One year we did Secret Santa at work, and I got a frame with a cute picture inside. After a while, I decided to change out the picture, and come to find out, the picture was a birthday card from the giver's parents, complete with a loving message inside. I think I was regifted!

I admit to regifting brand new items that don't suit us or we can't use, or giving away food that we don't/can't eat. One year we were given a lovely cherry coconut cake, but I'm allergic to coconut. We passed it on to a friend and he loved it. (he did know it was a regift, though!)

After the "santa" incident, I would make sure she has a lump or two of coal!!!

My MIL, before we finally begged her to stop giving us gifts, gave me her used houseslippers one year. Not only were they worn to pieces, they were also 2 sizes too small for me. And yes, she did declae that they were hers. My husband's gift, a candy bar, was so much better.

THis year I got my Christmas towel from last year (stocking stuffer at work) wrapped in a nice little box.
My partner thought it was great (I did too).
I guess I stuck it under my desk at work and forgot about it LOL

I just regifted a little lotion from BBW that I don't like.
