Hi! would you recycle a gift,especially an X'mas gift?

Never. A gift was given to you. The giver took an effort to buy you something. That you would give it to someone else as a gift is plain rude.\nYou could use the gift, or donate it to a local shelter for families.\nTo "re-gift" is taking the credit for the effort the giver took to buy you something.

Join a Freecycle group in your area.\nThis link will show all the worldwide groups:\nhttp://www.freecycle.org\nIt really is a great organization.  Keeping things out of the landfill, finding things for free, the good feeling you get when you are able to give something you don't need any more to someone who needs it.

accept items of interest for resale. sort of a thrift store operation. there is nothing like getting something for your donation. you might can get a location donated.

If you want to I think it would be a nice gesture. Gifts are always nice. It shows you are a thoughtful person.

You can if you want to.  A lot of brides do.  I'm getting married in a few weeks and we decided not to exchange gifts just because we don't have the extra money, plus we decided to buy a dog after the wedding.

Re-gift it. As long as you don't re-gift it to the same person or some one who is in contact with the same person who gave it to you. (and as long as they didn't see you open the gift)

it's been done before and he will be surprised because he is not expecting it since you already told him what it was, he will expect a different gift.\n\nLots of fun isn't it.  Merry Xmas

I give every year. My daughter is so blessed that she gets so many toys that she sometimes dont even play with them. So I keep the boxes and every holiday I have her give up some of her toys to make room for the ones she will be getting for christmas, put them in the boxes and donate them. I teach her the importance of giving and she really enjoys it. Every child should get a gift for christmas.

HMM, I agree with the rest, The best gift should come from the heart, it need not be any product or material. A Good greeting  from a heart felt wish is enough to make ones day happy!!

My fave cute gift is a gift certificate for say In N Out or McDonalds or something and a sweet Christmas card. They come in $5 increments, so it would be cheap and something they would actually use.

I know the feeling.I hate those ceramic figurines!!! I recently went to a wedding and they made CDs with all of their favorite love songs as favors for their wedding. That was a great idea, everyone wanted a copy and its something they could listen to months after the wedding. It is definitely not a dust collector!! Also you might want to give out something edible... like chocolate bars with your names and wedding date on it. Congrats and good luck
