Have you ever unwrapped, then rewrapped a gift that was addressed to you?
🤔 What was it?

Not exactly , but I did give something as a gift that someone else had given me. It was something I liked a lot, that a close friend had given me. It had been in the box in a closet for years, and it was a very pretty ceramic candle burner.
I told the the person I gave it to that it had been a gift from a friend, and how precious it was because he had given it to me. I like to think my deceased friend would understand and be okay with me giving it to someone else, who would use it.

@WanderingThrough It was a very nice gift, and my friend knew how much I appreciated that he bought it for me. I have a hard time letting go of things connected to someone I loved, too, as evidenced by home being full of them.
In this case, it was a brand new 'old' working thing, though, that I had never used. Not because I didn't like it, but because I had something similar that I rarely use. It was not an easy decision, for me to part with that gift.

Yes, I was given a tea set I didn't really care for. It was sitting in storage for years and gave it away to someone else for their birthday present. This person wasn't present when I had originally received this gift and didn't know it was in my possession for a long time.

@deepblacknothingness Brilliant! As long as you always make sure to keep track of who gave you a gift, so you don’t accidentally regift it to them. 😂 I recently heard a story from a friend about someone who did that accidentally, but I can’t recall the details.

@WanderingThrough That's the important part make sure you remember who gave what to who and who was present. You might get lucky if enough years have passed and they have forgotten with time.

@TheButterflyMind I can see how that would make Christmas less fun. Hopefully you still ended up enjoying it, whatever it was.

@Virgo79 I usually do as well, it can be hard sometimes but this past year…it just went so well! First time I was ever that sure about what I purchased.

@InvisibleGirl Somehow I’m not shocked that you’d do that.

So you are looking for validation?

@WanderingThrough Well... um... uh... yeah... I suppose. I mean, yeah.

@MarkPaul I knew it! 😑

@MartinTheFirst It happens more often than you might think! Between children who prematurely open gifts and people regifting things. 🤷🏻♀️
