I don’t think it’s wrong to re-gift something that hasn’t been used or opened. If there’s a party being hosted for family friends, you usually get the same type of gifts… vase, bowl, crystal, picture frame, etc. How much can one really store in their house? If my parents look at the box and know that we’re not going to use it, they won’t bother opening it and will give it to someone else as long as it hasn’t been opened/used and isn’t a cheap gift. Usually, we buy gifts but if there’s no time, we’ll give the gifts we stored from before.
I agree :k:
PCG, I agree with you on the walmart purse, when you see the gift-giver with a coach purse. That is disrespectful… your friend should have instead made some dish and brought it to your party, that would have been better. I never re-gift when it comes to my close friends.
