I do! But only if I really believe the other person will like it. Or I use them for yankee swap gifts.

For me it depends on the gift. If I feel like someone really took time to pick me out a gift, I feel bad giving it away even if it’s not exactly what I want. But if it’s something that doesn’t seem like it was picked out too carefully or intended to be too personal (eg getting one of the same gift for every member of a group) than I have no problem regifting it.

@LadyDi: I'm also in a Buy Nothing group and will regift there. Right now it's flooded with teachers giving away the stuff they got yesterday.

I do if it is something i know I won’t use. I have a basket downstairs of stuff. If I can’t find the right person or opportunity to regift it I’ll donate the item eventually. I did pull something out for a white elephant exchange recently.

@Corduroy: This is why I have cash and the teachers favorite candy at daycare this year. All my teacher friends say gift cards are the best gifts.

I have definitely regifted in the past, but only if I think the recipient will actually like the gift.

Funny regifting story:
I recently had some colleagues visit to meet my newborn DS. They all brought gifts, which was lovely, but not expected.
One woman gave me (him) a sweater that is size 2T. I would have just kept it for when he was older, but DH vetoed it since it looked like it was probably from the Girls section of Baby Gap. I happen to know that this woman has a 20 month old granddaughter, so I figured it was something that was bought/received for her. Sure enough, there was a gift receipt from Feb. of this year; the sweater was purchased before I even knew I was pregnant with DS! Clearly a regift!!!

Anyway, I just gave it away on a local FB buy nothing group :).

@MLE81: Wow tacky! Hahaha.

100%! I regift, sell, return, and donate presents without a lick of guilt.

The segment of my family that we spend Christmas Eve with is great for this. The past several years, we have had a white elephant exchange among all of the adults, with the only parameter being that we are not allowed to purchase anything. It is a terrific opportunity for regifting perfectly nice things that are just not a good fit for our household (*cough* teacher gifts *cough*). This year, I am wrapping up a nice Target throw from my Secret Santa (not colors that are in our household, and we already have a lot of throw blankets), and a whole box of coffee mugs (some still in their packaging!).

I do but thoughtfully. Like when we got two of the same game for a bday, I used it for a friend bday present. And baby things I would include with a registry gift.
