TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY BONES YO! I am SOOOOOOOOO excited about todays giveaway!!
Homegoods is hands down my favorite retail store to shop at. I love how they always have such an eclectic mix of things and how its never the same store from day to day. The best part about it though, is that there are limited quantities of stuff and so you are pretty much guaranteed that no one else will have the same awesome finds that you have.
Christmas came early to my house this year!! I bought so many amazing things from Homegoods to finish up my Master Bedroom….want a sneak peek?!?
How about these amazing pendant lights that I made out of big glass urns?! Tutorial is coming next week!!
I DIED when I saw this amazing white ceramic horse head statue:
And don’t you love these super cute nightstand tables? Clearance.
So since Christmas is like…9 days away (GAH!) Homegoods conducted a really fun survey about re-gifting. Did you know that 54% of people have re-gifted at least once? And that 36% are frequent offenders.
And the people receiving the re-gift? 26% are co-workers! Crazy!! I love statistical stuff like this. If you want to see the full results of the survey you can see that HERE.
Personally I am a gift card buyer. And actually Homegoods is my go-to gift card. Just ask the girls in my Bunco Group.
So now to the fun part!
Who wants to win $250.00 to Homegoods?!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Do you even know what you can get for $250?! SO MUCH STUFF!
To enter:
Leave a comment telling us if you are a re-gifter. And how you feel about it.

I have to admit I am...I had a stash of wedding gifts I would take from for a couple years after our wedding. It was nice stuff I just didn't need it. I don't see anything wrong with it as long as you remember not to give it to the person you got it from :D I too am obsessed with HomeGoods and I think I would probably have a heart attack if I won this but don't let that stop you from giving it to ME! Thank you for all your amazing posts you are a genius!
ReplyDeleteI re-gift all the time! Why not?

Does re-gifting packaging count? Like, ribbon..those little puzzle boxes you can put gift cards in to? If so, then yes, totally. I don't feel bad about it either. Wrapping paper and ribbon can get expensive!
ReplyDeletep.s. LOVE the TJMaxx chain. I used to work for TJMaxx and let me tell you..It was hard to keep a paycheck.
Completely a re-gifter - Love re-gifting! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a serial re-gifter, but I have once or twice-- when I knew it specifically was something that someone else would REALLY like. I try not to make a habit of it though! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI've regifted giftcards before and I'm with Ruth Ann - I did have a small stash of wedding gifts that I regifted for a couple years. guilty!
ReplyDeleteThanked Homegoods for the giveaway on Facebook!

I have re-gifted (blushing).
ReplyDeleteMy random act of kindness: buying books for all the kids in my son's preschool class and having the teacher send them home anonymously.
ReplyDeleteof course - if someone can use something that you can't why not?
ReplyDeleteI only regift if it's something that's perfect for the recipient, and something I would buy for them if I didn't already have it handy to give. For other things, I'll give them away, but not as gifts. If it were reversed and someone gave me a gift just b/c they didn't want it and felt obligated to give me something, it wouldn't feel very nice. I'd rather get just a card or a verbal "Happy Holidays!" that was heartfelt.
ReplyDeletei'm not a regifter, although i would do it if i had something that i hadn't even opened and it would be a good fit for someone else!
ReplyDeleteI love HomeGoods. Do you know how much damage I could do with $250? LOTS and LOTS. I am a regifter. I have a box under my bed of gifts that are worthy of regifting and I label who they were originally from so that I don't regift into the same circle.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I am also guilty of regifting. I try not to do it often, but there are some things that you just do not want to keep. A light up singing Santa? Ummm....thanks? I think?
ReplyDeleteHeck yeah, I regift! I think it's a great way to eliminate waster if somebody gave you something that you don't need/isn't useful to you.
ReplyDeleterandom act of kindness: husband and i made a date night last night out of shopping for kids in need at the school i work at.
ReplyDeleteI facebooked about it!
ReplyDeletei have not regifted.... i have sold new items at yard sales before but i wouldn't pass it on as a gift i bought because i like to give gift receipts.
ReplyDeleteMy RAOK for this week is the $20 gift card to Harris Teeter that I donated to the Ronald McDonald House. They were our home away from home while my daughters were in the NICU and I will be eternally grateful to them for the help they provided us.
ReplyDeleteI thanked HomeGoods on Facebook!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I retweeted (not that I really understand how to use Twitter). My handle is @ECUTwinMama.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I have regifted before! It's like recycling!
ReplyDeleteRegifting is totally encouraged at my office party!
ReplyDeleteI do re-gift once in awhile. But it's always stuff that is nice and not crap. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not a re-gift-er but I LOVE Home Goods!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a re-gifter, the thought never crosses my mind. Probably because the people usually giving me gifts give GREAT things!
ReplyDeleteYeppers, I am a self-admitted regifter. Maybe someone should start a site where we can all swap our unused stuff?!?!?
ReplyDeleteI like HomeGoods on FB!
ReplyDeleteI admit I regift baby gifts! I have two babies and received so much clothes and doubles on toys that I could never use everything! So with being a stay at home mom with a tiny budget I have a big box I pull from when someone has a new baby and I go visit! I feel bad sometimes but I figure it's better than showing up empty handed!
ReplyDeleteI definitely re-gift and feel no remorse. I'm a firm believer in recycling and if the gift is in perfect condition - what's the big deal who paid for it?
ReplyDeleteI have never re-gifted, but that's just because I've always been able to return to the store or repurpose (so far!). There's definitely nothing wrong with regifting!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted this! @SarahBohlDesign
ReplyDeleteMy RAC? A friend on FB put a status update that she bumped into a friend she hadnt seen in awhile and she was having a tough time. She is a single mom, just out of an abusive relationship. So my friend put a message out there wondering if anyone would like to send some anonymous gift cards to her friend. I said, Of course! And so did lots of other rad people! Just imagine going to your mailbox everyday and getting lots of stranger love! awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteI thanked Homegoods on Facebook!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember if I've ever re-gifted. I know I've donated unwanted gifts before or even returned/exchanged them if I knew where they came from. I don't think it's a bad thing. I think you should live with what you love, not because you don't want to offend someone. After all if they gave you a gift, they must want you to be happy right?
ReplyDeleteMeg
I have re-gifted, but I have a couple of rules...The item has to be in orignial packaging and look brand new. The gift must "match" the person I'm giving it to. Meaning, it must be something that, if I saw it in the store, I would think of that person. If an item doesn't seem to match anyone I know, I give it to Goodwill or just ask friends if they would like the item. No use having the item sit around my house, unused, when someone else will appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteYep, regifting has its place....
ReplyDeleteI'm not a regifter only because most people know how picky I am and just ask me what I want lol. But I do give things away a lot.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely regift. Why not give something you don't particularly like to someone who hopefully will. It's the "green" thing to do man!
ReplyDeleteWell, I would regift if I had anything to regift. I just don't get a lot of gifts I guess. I do donate A LOT of stuff, so in a way that is re-gifting!! Also I'm making 2 of the Anthro lamps for xmas gifts, I want to keep them as gifts to myself, is that re-gifting??!! haha :)
ReplyDeleteHAVE A BLAST IN NY!!
Of course I regift...That's why I think gift cards are the best, you go and get what you like...no need to regift.
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of donating, it's winter time and your local shelters and schools are looking for anything warm that you don't want anymore!! Adults and kids!! What better time to clean out your closet than now, right when it's the season of getting more.
ReplyDeleteI have re-gifted for kids parties. I call it the prize closet. I think it's fine! It's very green! :)
ReplyDeleteI have re-gifted once or twice... I would rather someone else enjoy something than it taking up space in my house!!
ReplyDeleteI have regifted! Especially some wedding gifts!
ReplyDeleteI have regifted, but usually I try to return stuff I don't want/need--I'd rather have the store credit.
ReplyDeleteI am a re-gifter. I think if I have something that I can use then I need to give it to someone who can use it. I also encourage my kids to do the same. We all have so much junk that we should share what we have.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog.

oh man - i am not a re-gifter because i always feel bad ... but there are plenty of things i've wanted to re-gift!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young and first married I regifted. No problem! But now, I get so few presents! Everything is from someone I know WELL and we all know each other. So re-gifting doesn't really work.
ReplyDeletesims.whitney at gmail.com
When I got married I re-gifted items that we had duplicates of but couldn't return... but I don't think I have since.
ReplyDeleteFunny story, when my husband and I were dating and Christmas came up I didn't know if I should get him anything, didn't want to scare him off, you know? But, I decided I would get him a fun gift anyway to surprise him. When I gave it to him, he said he had something for me too, but he had to go out to his car. He came back in with a tin of cookies that I later found out had been given to him that day by a co-worker! Good thing I loved him so much already! 11 years later we still laugh about it!
I'm not a regifter since I usually never get gifts. But, if you are going to do it make sure the original gift giver and the one you gave it to will never meet.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a regifter since I usually never get gifts. But, if you are going to do it make sure the original gift giver and the one you gave it to will never meet. hahaha Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteNo, I am not a regifter. If I get something is just not me....I pass it on to Goodwill. That is kind of regifting, though isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway!
Umm... I hate to say it, but yes. Actually I don't know if I am a re-gifter or not? I really buy too much from year to year and save the stuff and end up handing it out the following year for exchanges and gifts. Hmm... I think I'm a semi re-gifter.
ReplyDeleteI re-tweeted the giveaway - this is a fun one - thank you!
ReplyDeleteI shared the giveaway on my FB page!
ReplyDeleteyes yes yes! I love home goods, I always feel like my pulse has gone up 50 % just walking in the store.
ReplyDeletere-gifting can be okay. as long as it is clean and lovely and you don't give it back to who ever gave it to you in the first place. eek!

I visisted the Homegoods FB page and said thank you!
ReplyDeletesure, I regift. no qualms about it.
ReplyDeleteI just left a Thank You and a Like on Home Goods Facebook Page.
ReplyDeleterandom acts of kindness - anonymous donations, and lending a helping hand whenever the opportunity presents itself.
ReplyDeleteI made meals for the teachers to have during school conferences - they are stuck their all day. They loved having homemade food, it made me smile!
ReplyDeleteLeft a THANK YOU at HomeGoods FB page
ReplyDeleteA) I love HomeGoods with all my heart.
ReplyDeleteB) I am TOTALLY a re-gifter, but only with things that I haven't used/opened. I look at it this way: I hate unnecessary STUFF in my house. And if I can send that stuff to a happy home where it will get lots of love? Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
~Stop Me if You've Heard This One
Yes, I regift. Heck! If all else fails they can regift it too. Maybe I'll receive it back one day.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely regift and I do not feel any guilt about it. I regift items that are represent a lot of meaning between a friend and myself. So it's actually rarer that I regift to a coworker. Also, as a librarian I often receive free books and rather have those novels sit on my shelf, I much prefer to share them with the world!
ReplyDeleteI regifted once, and got flat BUSTED. I will never do it again. It was ugly on so many levels. Imagine a very unique $250 cookie jar w/ no note being given back to the bride and groom who originally gave it. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteI can't recall that I have ever regifted, but I know that I have been a regiftee. For my wedding, a friend gave me a cake plate and in the box was a card addresssed to the person who gave it to me! That was kind of a slap in the face. I don't think there is anything wrong with regifting, just make sure it's not obvious!
ReplyDeleteLeigh (spencer-5 @ embarqmail. com)
You know...I can't remember if I've ever re-gifted...I'm sure I have, I just can't recall! I don't think it's a bad thing, though...if you can't use something & someone else can, then why not? As long as it's not already used...then that's weird.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance to win this awesome giveaway!!!
I Tweeted! @MidwesternSGirl
ReplyDeleteI normally don't regift things because I usually love almost everything I receive, but, if I get something and I know it's a perfect fit for someone else, I don't have a problem regifting it! Someone might as well enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI "Liked" Home Goods & told them you sent me! Yay! (Maggie Wingstedt Massey)

I love Random Acts of Kindness...they make me feel awesome...recently I was in line at the grocery store and I had TONS of stuff. The guy behind me had like 4 or 5 things - so I grabbed his stuff, added it to mine, had the cashier ring it up right away and he was on his way. He was so surprised...it was awesome. He gave me a big hug...it was so cool. And I felt great for the rest of the day...
ReplyDeleteAs much as I hate it, I must confess to having regifted once or twice. Okay, maybe three times? But no more, I swear!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear, for this lovely give away. I promise not to regift this one :-)
Hanneke
Yes, I have regifted.:)And have received regifts *wink* myself. Some people will get regifted Christmas gifts this year because of finances.
ReplyDeleteI tweeted! at MrsT2
ReplyDeleteHi Mandi! My random act of kindness was yesterday...Man working at Target was telling a co-worker about losing his son in Iraq....yes, I was eavesdropping! Before I knew what I was doing, I was giving him a big hug, telling him how sorry I was for his loss and he and I both cried. He shared some memories and we prayed together. As with all kindness, I was so blessed to talk with this father and great American patriot.
ReplyDeleteI've actually never regifted something. I DO return things though if I don't like something. I think regifting is fine if you don't have a receipt & actually think the person you are giving it to might like it.
ReplyDeleteI tweeted!
ReplyDeleteI'm TOTALLY a regifter. I mean, if I don't love it, there has to be SOMEONE who will, right??

My random act of kindness: Things have been very tight here for a while. I'm the only one working and we have 3 boys. It's been very rough. We wanted to do something for the holidays for a family, and we couldn't afford to do much - so, I emptied the entire contents of my pantry - all of it, and took it all to a food drive at our school. I know it doesn't seem like much - but for us it is.
Thanks for putting together such an awesome giveaway!

ReplyDeletei am not a regifter. I don't hang onto things long enough to gift them. They are either donated or shared with friends and family.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've regifted before -- to the best of my knowledge haha! But I do think certain things can be regifted without an issue -- for instance a sealed bottle of Champagne or wine... perfect type of thing to regift. However in my house it'd never stay sealed long enough to hand off to someone else.
ReplyDeletehehe
Pamela @ pbjstories.com
I have totally regifted! Regifting comes with the Holiday season right? ;) I would love to win this Home Goods gift card! LOve, Love, Love them! I think I have more Home Goods receipts than DI receipts this year. I can think of so many more things I would get with that card!
ReplyDeleteAct of kindness-- My husband and I are in Real Estate and have been so blessed this year with all the work that we have been given. Because of that, we are helping a family in our neighborhood (ward) that needs help. They just bought a house and the husband lost his job soon after they moved in. We are getting all their 5 kids their gifts from Santa. We are loving it! <3
Shout out of thanks to HomeGoods on FB!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower of Vintage Revivals - SO excited for that hurricane light tutorial ! I've been thinking about doing something similar with a bowl hurricane so will be great to see how you did it.
ReplyDeletePamela @ pbjstories.com
I am not a re-gifter, but also long as the gift is still in its original packaging I think it's fine
ReplyDeleteI shared about the giveaway via Twitter w/ the given link! Thanks for hosting.
ReplyDeletePamela @ pbjstories.com
I certainly re-gift...there are so many times when a gift may not be quite right for me but I know it will be perfect for someone else!

Homegoods is my favorite store to shop at, I never walk out of there without something. I like to save bad Christmas presents for next years Yankee Swaps :) Great way to get rid of things and save money at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI liked HomeGoods on FB already but left some love that I came from VR!

ReplyDeleteI'm totally a re-gifter..and NOT EVEN ASHAMED. I only re-gift if it's something that would totally fit someone on my list. I love all gifts that I get...I'm NOT a 're-turner'. I love the thought behind gifts, but if there was not thought humpf...give 'er away!
ReplyDeleteI am not a habitual re-gifter but I have done it. Instead, if I get a gift I can't or won't use I will donate it. :)

ReplyDeleteMy random act of kindness was I just ran around handing out hugs to everyone in my office. heheheh. I'll continue to spread the kindness acts :)
ReplyDeletePamela @ pbjstories.com
I totally re-gifted this link on my FB page!!!
ReplyDeleteI have regifted before, but I'm not someone that does it all the time. Usually I only regift if it's a nice item and I know that the other person will really appreciate it. If not, the offending item goes to Goodwill! :)
ReplyDeleteI have a shelf in a closet just for future regifts. Our family even has a gift exchange and you have to regift no new purchases allowed. It can totally be used or made - but no Dollars spent makes for lots of giggles and a cheap good time.
ReplyDeleteI am a regifter.... and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I depends on the day... but no matter how I feel about it, I do regift- tactfully (aka no one realizes I'm regifting)
ReplyDeleteI just tweeted! (@catie_joy)
ReplyDeleteI am a re-gifter. Only if I do not like the item and I know that someone else will. If I dont like the bootle of wine or the scent of a candle.
ReplyDeleteOccasionally I am, but only if it is something I think the person could actually use.
ReplyDeleteI have, on a couple of occasions regifted. I usually try to regift between my family members in different countries so that there's no potential for obvious regifting.
ReplyDeleteOne year, and this is terrible, I sold all the gifts from my in-laws that I didn't like on eBay. Eek. I felt so terrible afterwards that I never did it again.
I love HomeGoods! My most fav store. Yes I do regift but not often....
ReplyDeleteI thanked Homegoods on Facebook
ReplyDeleteI think I've re gifted once. I don't think there is anything wrong with regifting but usually the gifts I get that are bad are SO bad that no one would enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteI will only regift if I know that person will absolutely love the gift......
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I'm surprised it's only 54% who are re-gifted. My mom's a big re-gifter since we never had a lot of money growing up. I see nothing wrong with it as long as you make sure to match the gift to the right person. I'll donate something rather than re-gift it if it doesn't suit any of my friends of family.
ReplyDeleteMy RAC- we had my hubby's new boss over for dinner since his wife and kiddos are a thousand miles away and he's living off of Healthy Choice frozen meals!
ReplyDeleteI may or may not have re-gifted my brother and sister-in-law a blanket we got as a wedding gift. In my defense, we were seriously broke back then.
ReplyDeleteSince then, I may spruce up an old gift and give it again. Guilty.
This gift card would be A-MAZING timing. We are closing on our first home this weekend and I am so scared by how empty it's gonna be!
Random act of kindness: I offered to babysit my sisters kids so she and her hubby could have some alone time
ReplyDeleteI do regift things but only if I feel it is absolutely perfect for the recipient. Otherwise, I love to buy something that they just can't live without.
ReplyDeleteI tweeted about it (@evil_lina).
ReplyDeleteI can't remember anything I have re-gifted but I know there are some things I have seen people get that I wouldn't mind if they had re-gifted them to me.....
ReplyDeleteI am a regifter, but only because my house is too small to keep most, not because I don't like the gifts! In fact, I just re-gifted something last night because I had two of them! I think it's totally ok as long as it is still in tact and fairly represents the person you are gifting it to!

ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway!! I'm totally NOT a re-gifter haha. I love giving gifts too much not to pick them out myself! :)
ReplyDeletei always pay the toll for the person behind me- so that's a lot of random acts- I should get more points! Jk
ReplyDeleteI've thought about it but never went through with it. To each her own I guess.
ReplyDeleteI tweeted about the giveaway @JHouseTawk
ReplyDeleteJordnnNchl22@aol.com
I definitely re-gift! Mostly to neighbors or co-workers! Love Homegoods!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso tweeted it! @MrsEmilyB
ReplyDeleteI have not regifted anything before. I'm not okay with it if you are regifting something you have already used or is total crap. Crap is appropriate for White Elephant parties, but not as an actual Christmas gift.
ReplyDeleteI typically do not regift unless it is something I truly do not need, and I think that someone I know would appreciate it more. Well, I guess that mean I *am* a regifter. lol!!
ReplyDeleteTweeted!! @mmscrapshoppe
ReplyDeleteI have never re-gifted, however I have bought gifts for people with giftcards I received :) .. I just know if I did regift, that people would secretly know I did lol, I couldn't get away with it.

I'm not a regifter but I know I've been the victim of such, and I really don't mind. I LOVE HomeGoods and am so excited, my house could totally use some new updates!
ReplyDeleteVisited Home Goods to say THANKS! :)
ReplyDeleteRandom act of kindness;;; My mother made a deal with me that if I clean out and rearrange her craft room, that I can keep whatever I would like ;) Good deal of kindness on both sides, I think!
ReplyDeleteJordnnNchl22@aol.com (Jordann)
Random act of kindness- I am sending out random emails this week to friends and family that I don't talk to often just to let them know I am thinking of them and love them. Not really random as they know who I am, but might brighten their days!
ReplyDeleteRAK - told the guy parked down from me in the parking garage this morning that he left his lights on. Turns out they go off after a few minutes anyway. Ah well! :)
ReplyDeletebah! this giveaway is amazing! i would proudly re-gift if i had anything awesome enough to re-gift. ha. no shame here. i think i might have re-gifted a crock-pot or two after our wedding, but since then, i haven't had anything awesome (or not awesome) enough to give away.
ReplyDeletehahaha! I'm definitely a re-gifter. I make sure to only regift things that I think someone else will like though, so I think it's perfectly acceptable! Besides, it's like recycling, just better!
ReplyDeleteI love regifting! Home Goods is one f my favorite stores; you never know what you'll find! Thanks for the great giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mandi, we're thrilled to be partnering with you on this giveaway. Have seen you on Nate and on Twitter. Your bedroom looks amazing! Will be back to see the tutorial on the glass pendant. Your friends at HomeGoods
ReplyDeleteyes, I'll regift; just because the gift wasn't my taste doesn't mean it won't be someone elses! Awesome giveaway :)
ReplyDelete-Jill
I'm actually not a re-gifter, mainly because I work with a bunch of engineers who'd never think of giving each other presents at all. :p Though I have no problem with re-gifting in general.
ReplyDeleteOh yes I regift. I like to think of it as recycling.
ReplyDeleteI regifted once - and left the old gift receipt in the box. Oops. Felt like a heel! I learned my lesson and won't regift EVER again! LOL
ReplyDeleteI am sadly out of my re-gifting stash! Love your blog! Love your ideas. I think we would be friends if we lived close!
ReplyDeleteTweeted @peppermintses
ReplyDeleteYES, I totally re-gift. It would be wasteful otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI haven't regifted in a while, but I'm not completely opposed to it. You have to know your boundaries.
ReplyDeleteI like to surprise people that are having a bad day with sweets and we donate a bunch of fun kids gifts for the holiday. Gotta give back somehow.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a regifter - but I *am* an avid returner. I like it better than regifting because I keep the cash value but still pick my own stuff!
ReplyDeleteCommented on HomeGoods FB page! Shared on FB! And on Twitter ! http://twitter.com/#!/ericalea23
ReplyDeleteAnd Yes I regift if I have something that is great and already have or dont need! I would love to be gifted something that I love!!:)
I have regifted in the past but I don't anymore. I feel like the person I am giving a gift to deserves something that I put some thought into. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeletetwelve30(at)gmail(dot)com
I'm a regifter, but I mainly regift wine or candles. Just things I have that I think they will use or enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a re-gifter, except possibly in a white elephant exchange, when the original gift giver isn't present. :)
ReplyDeleteI helped a new mom who was struggling with a crying baby & getting the items out of her cart in the check out lane by placing her items in her cart on the conveyor belt so she could concentrate on the baby. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeletetwelve30(at)gmail(dot)com
I'm not a re-gifter. I'm not necessarily opposed to it as long as it's a good re-gift and not something that nobody would want. I do prefer picking out new gifts for people though.
ReplyDeleteI HAVE regifted before but it wasn't very fun because I was feeling so guilty!
ReplyDeleteMy random act of kindness was bringing someone homemade fudge.
ReplyDeleteI have definitely regifted once or twice, but only to a White Elephant exchange.
ReplyDeleteIn general, I don't regift. I don't have strong feelings about it either way, but I can't think of a time when I did it. I guess if you get something that you don't neccesarily need or want, but you think someone else might, why not?
ReplyDeletefacebooked it!
ReplyDeleteI am totally a regifter! Not that i just randomly regift but if I received something that I don't care for and I know someone who will enjoy it, why shouldn't I pass it on so it can be appreciated?
ReplyDeleteI don't have a problem with regifting. It's a great way to make sure those awesome gifts go to the best home. And it can save a few dollars here and there.
ReplyDeleteI've regifted maybe just a couple times. But I think it's fine! If the other person likes that gift, then who cares??
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I admit, I have regifted. Why should I keep something perfectly good when I know someone who would really want it?

I'm a proud regifter. Especially with baby gifts.
ReplyDeleteI have been known to re-gift--especially with our leftover wedding gifts!
ReplyDeleteYes, I have regifted and think it's perfectly fine. As long as you don't get caught. ;) If someone else can use something that I won't then I just saved myself some money and some clutter in my closets. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm all for it. I already gave away a few gift cards to restaurants I received this season :)

I have never regifted.
ReplyDeleteI have never regifted.
ReplyDeleteI have re-gifted for kid birthday parties. Sometimes you get something your daughter/son won't play with but you know other kids do like those toys (like Legos, for some reason my son doesn't like them but other boys love them). So I save up those type of gifts and re-gift to other children or donate them.
ReplyDeleteI don't leave the house much so not a lot of opportunities for raok but I brought my husband dinner when he was stuck at work late, he wasn't expecting it so it was random. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't do a lot of regifting~I do a lot of giving away! Is that the same thing? I don't like pretending I got something for someone, when I really didn't...but I won't judge! And I am a huge TJMaxx and Home Goods customer/fan. I just wish they would let me have a ten thousand dollar limit on their charge card!
ReplyDeleteI think I can only remember re-gifting just once. I usually put all the unwanted gifts in the "garage sale" pile.

I have never personally regifted but I really don't see the problem with it! If you have something that is new and in good condition and you know someone that would actually use it then I say why not! There are some things that my my friends and family get that I think "man I wish she would regift that to me for my birthday" lol. So if you're a regifter in the right way than good for you!! This pregnant mommy of 3 girls would looove to win this to take my girls shopping and to buy some new stuff for my new baby coming in June!!
ReplyDeleteI just thanked Home Goods on FB

I have regifted. But I have a few rules....1. It has to be in its original packaging 2. It can't be tacky, ugly, or junky 3. Never regift something in the same circle of people. Basicly no giving of a gift from coworker #1 to coworker #2
ReplyDeleteOf course I'm a regifter! I kind of feel like a matchmaker when I give something I didn't like to someone who I know will love it. It's awesome, plus I save a bunch of money.
ReplyDeleteI do re-gift, but I tell the person who gave it to me and the recipient. We're all supposed to be big girls here.
ReplyDeleteI just held the door at a local coffee shop for an elderly woman....then the next 2 people after her decided to scoot through too...lol I said "Merry Christmas" :)

My last RAOK was when I was comiing out of a thrift store I smiled at a woman who looked unhappy. She turned and said thanks, she's had such a bad morning and by the way I lover your bag. I said, it's yours. Dumped my stuff into a plastic bag and gave it to her. It was nice to see her relax and smile.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest....I've re-gifted before. It was years ago but I did do it! lol I guess it really depends on the item and situation, like if it's brand new and you know someone else would get good use or love it. For me, I'd much rather have something come from my heart and not some junk laying around because let's be honest, if you're great enough for me to give you presents, I'm not going to give you junk! :-)

I am a semi-regifter. If I get something that I know I can't return and I know that someone I need to get a gift for would love it, I will give it to them!

I went to the Post Office (which is totally nuts right now) and walked out the door. I saw an old woman walking up to the door so I turned around and was sure to get the door for her. She was excited to have someone serve her.

I got a re-gifted wedding gift, and the person forgot to take the original card out of the box! I thought it was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteA Home Goods store just opened less than 2 miles from my house. This would be a great excuse to go shopping!
Sometimes I re-gift! I almost always gift items I won't use or don't like to my mother in law! lol :D
ReplyDeleteI facebook-ed about the AWESOME giveaway!! :)

I haven't had the opportunity to re-gift since I pretty much like the gifts I've received and I would be too scared of offending the giver. I thinks its fine to re-gift if you know that the recipient would enjoy the gift and the original giverxis OK with it. We FINALLY have a HomeGoods nearby. YAY!!
ReplyDeleteI tweeted!!
