That said, when I was a little girl I saved up a lot of money (for me at the time) to buy my mother a silver bracelet for Christmas. A few years later she was going through her drawers and pulled it out, tossed it to me and said "Someone gave this to me once, and I never really liked it. Take it."
I threw it in the river. Immature reaction, but I was immature at the time. Point is, make sure you remember who gave it to you so you don't give it back to the same person!

I am the same Lucie. I rarely re gift as the circle that I give to is small and I don't ever want to face an awkward situation. I will however put things under the charity Christmas tree or donate to a Christmas drive if the gift is not to my liking.I don't regift but I don't mind giving the gifts I don't like to less fortunate
I am lucky too AJ. I cannot remember too many times when I have received something that was not to my liking. We have a very small circle that we exchange with and they all know my likes and dislikes.I will regift if I know for sure that it won't be realized by the person who gave it to me, but honestly I haven't had to do that very often. Just lucky I guess!
I see nothing wrong with buying something new or gently used from the thrift store. You find some amazing things.I do shop the thrift shops for gifts. I have found the perfect gifts for friends and family. It’s a great place to look for books, toys, dishes and things that are no longer available.
You can also find some unbelievable bargains on things that are brand new, still with the original tags. How does it go, one person's trash is another's treasure?I see nothing wrong with buying something new or gently used from the thrift store. You find some amazing things.
