Different Kinds Of Regifting

Every time Christmas rolls around, I wonder if I’ll end up with one of those gifts. That one gift that was probably picked out in love, but has one problem - the receiver doesn’t like it. The hand knit sweater grandma made that wasn’t their style, the doll that they’ll never play with, the science kit that doesn’t interest them - all one of those gifts. So what are they supposed to do with that gift? It would be a waste to throw it away, but is regifting the answer? Regifting is a good choice because it would put the unwanted gift to good use, is eco friendly, and can save money.

Regifting can put an unwanted gift to good use. Just because someone doesn’t want it doesn’t mean no one will. Though a kid might not like the stuffed animal they received, perhaps a friend or family member will. Giving the gift to someone who will enjoy it is a lot better than letting it sit in some dark recess
The regifter won’t need to waste money on driving to a store and shuffling through crowds of people to find a gift. They can check their box of gifts they didn’t like and pass one on to someone else. They won’t spend any money on the individual gift or the cost of gas, or take a day off of work to go to a humongous sale where they can possibly get hurt. They can sit at home, sip their eggnog, and enjoy having less stress in their life and more pocket money.

There are some stipulations for regifting. It’s not a good idea to regift a handmade gift because it was made just for the receiver and might not be up to par with something they can get from the store. If they plan on regifting something, they should avoid using it. Their peers might notice it’s something they’ve used or worn before and feel like a burden or uncared for because of it. Lastly, they shouldn’t tell anyone it was a regift, especially the receiver or the original gifter.

In short, regifting is a good choice with unwanted gifts because it is practical, eco-friendly, and
