Hello welcome to La Dolce Vita. I am a busy WAHM of a three year old who really keeps me on my toes. I blog about my Sweet Life (that is what Dolce Vita) means. I share many of my custom hand stamped jewelry pieces, as they are inspired by my every day life. I hope you enjoy fashion as I talk a lot about fashion and I am a total Product Junkie. Step into my world and please come back again soon. If I am not around I am off making some keepsake mommy jewelry for my customers.
To regift or not that is the question. Is it proper etiquette to regift? My Mom once had a coworker regift a gift back to her that she gave the person, now I think this is tacky with a capital T. One thing I will say is if you do regift you should at the very least make sure you do not give it back to the person that gave it to you.

The only time I usually regift things is when my kids get a duplicate toy or book. Seldom do parents give gift receipts for birthday party presents, so I figure it's better than letting it go to waste.
I may give it away but not gift it. I would tell the person it was given to me but no I would wrap it up and put a bow on it! lol
I usually just give it away! My mom once had a friend rewrap the gift my mom had given her and she gave it back to my mom for Christmas. We were surprised! It's surprising to me that people could actually do that and forget who gave it to them! Have a great Friday!

Like the others, I usually just give it away to someone I know will use it.
I don't think I have ever re-gifted. I would do the same as the other commenters. That is tacky for sure...what did your mom say?
There are a lot of factors including whether or not the gifters know one another.
Have a great Friday!

I have never re-gifted because I have liked all my gifts. I think if I didn't like a gift I would give it to someone, I don't think I would wrap it up as a gift.

This is something I feel pretty strongly about since each and every gift I buy for people I put a lot of thought into. I think re-gifting is completely tacky and I've had it done to me before and was completely insulted and hurt because of the nature of the gifting.
My sister and mother did this to me for years. My mother got to the point where she would brag to me, that my gift came from her closet (from her used clothes). I got sick of it, and this year I got them nothing for Christmas.
I regift things occasionally... or sell them on ebay. Yep, I'm tacky like that! :)
No, I dont. If I dont like something I will return it.

Yeah, I try to return it too. I think it's really obvious when you regift unless it's the PERFECT thing for that person. And that's pretty unusual.

I can and sometime do but not often.
My Friday link for you
yes I do
I would and I think it's fine! Just not to the original gift giver!!Aloha
