I haven't noticed this becoming a trend, but now I'm going to pay attention! I don't think I use it as a verb. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-word-gift-as-a-verb#post-397940 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 18:48:20 +0000 SLR 397940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems like over the past couple years, the word 'gift' is being used more and more as an action.

I know it's not a new thing, but with the Christmas commericals that are starting to air, I'm hearing it more and more frequently. </p> <p>I'm personally not a fan. Am I the only one with this pet peeve? </p>
