Except when it comes to man giving woman a gift or vice versa…j/k…
I thought recycle term means the item has been used and now is passed to another. (bad)
If it is still brand new and not really being used let’s say one already had same or similar item then nothing wrong in passing along to someone else, even as a gift. The problem there is that you might not want to break someone’s heart by telling them “we don’t need it, thank you by the way”
On the other hand is it really necessary to buy something new to pass along when something is at home and is packed brand new and other person could use it?
