I thing regifting done the right way is great for our own financial budgets and going green. Thank you for the idea “no thank you card required”. I like this idea for baby gifts and wedding gifts. (Postage is so expensive).

Wow Jude that’s pretty selfish.

You know, regifting is something I have only ever encountered in the United States, and I have to say that I think it’s a great idea! Though I still feel a little guilty.

I like this idea! I sometimes miss the mark with gifts.

I love this idea! I never want someone to keep a gift I’ve given if they don’t like it, or it was wrong, or something else. That just guilts them into a cluttered house! I always tell people they are welcome to exchange or “dispose” of anything I give them if they choose to, but this is a much better way of getting that message across.

My kids and I each have an Amazon wish list. I provided the wish lists to my mother so she could select something for each of us that we really wanted. Instead, she bought each of us something that we didn’t want. Sure, I needed a new digital camera, but I didn’t need the one she bought me. It won’t even take closeups, which I do a lot. I don’t want any presents, but since she insists on giving me something, it would be so much better if it were something I wanted.

Erin – Thanks for drawing my attention to this post. This is an amazing idea and really recognizes regifting and makes it acceptable for both sides. Nice!

I like to also add a “No Thank You Card Required” pass. Especially on baby gifts! What new mom has time for Thank You cards on baby gifts?

I try to keep notes on things people have mentioned in passing that they like or need. When the holidays roll around, I have a list all set to go. Some things are always good, at least in my family, like Ebay gift certificates and spa certificates. Can’t go wrong there.

I love the ‘regift’ coupon.

This is a really cute idea. And, you could really put this on the outside of an envelope for a gift receipt. I must be better about including gift receipts with gifts!
