I opened a big box and found a dutch oven inside. I was pretty excited...nice useful gift. When we got home later and I was putting away the gifts, I found a tag inside: Dear Doreen, best wishes, love, Aunt Nancy. Of course nobody by the name of Doreen (or Nancy for that matter) was at the shower. I'm still not sure if this was a regift or a return to the store, but I get a giggle out of it. I still use the thing almost every day! I always remember this funny story from my wedding shower mumble mumble years ago. I opened a big box and found a dutch oven inside.

As a frugal, "green" (I'm really starting to loathe that word) gal, I have to say that I have no problem giving or receiving re-gifted items that have been used. I think of them like thrift store gems and lawd knows I love a good thrift find. I think it's just a matter of comfort level. As long as you are gifting or re-gifting used items among like-minded folk, it's grand. Great tips.

Sometimes you receive a gift that you have no use or value for, but someone else may. I don't think you should just re-gift for the hell of it to get rid of something. If that's the case just donate the item. Otherwise re-gifting is a kind and frugal way to send a gift. A lot times you see this when someone already has an ipod then gains a new one somehow.
