It isn't cheap to re-gift if you are sure the person you are giving it to wants or needs the item. If you re-gift simply for convenience, to fill an obligation with the least amount of effort, then yes, I think that is cheap.

Imagine, you have been given a ghastly lamp or clock for your birthday - an utter eye sore! So what do you do with it? Throw it in the trash can where it rightfully belongs? Oh no! You wrap it up again, and fob it off to another unsuspecting fellow human being! Now, in the name of all that is sacred - is this just? Is this fair behaviour? Cannot the perpetrators of such..such...violence to the human sensibility be termed as "cheap"? Good ladies and gentlemen of the jury - the decision is yours.

I always love receiving gifts, and I do not ask the giver where they came from. Do you? If I get something I can't use, I donate it to a charity store to sell. No matter how ugly we might think an object is, there is someone, somewhere, who will like it. Viva la difference.

Depends on the gift and if you know your friend would like it then no

I'd feel a little strange re-gifting. There's always the possibility of getting caught. Plus, I'd want to give a gift that I myself would want to receive. And I should be okay with spending money on someone I like. The bum gifts can always go to Goodwill.
-
No, it can actually be quite expensive in the long run.

Yes I think it is cheap. I have a sister-in-law who exemplifies the true meaning of CHEAP. She has re-gifted it for years (although she doesn't know everyone else knows) - before the term was coined, really - and it seems like others in the family get her cast-offs that she does not want. Sometimes she doesn't even bother to wrap the gift. You would have to know her to understand and although she and her husband splurge on extravagant twice-yearly vacations for themselves, she is very "frugal", you might say, and does not ordinarily give gifts unless she is pressured to. I would really rather not receive a gift at all from her than the used ones she gives us.

if it's done unknowingly to the receiptient,then it is ok.

When people re-gift it means you don't like the gift you received. Usually it means that another person won't want it either. Why do it? Isn't your friend worth taking the time to buy a gift he/she would like? If you re-gift you are lazy or that person does not mean much to you. BUT if you exchange gag gifts for fun all the time it might be funny otherwise don't do it.
-
Yes, if you wrap it and pretend you chose it just for the recipent. But if you know someone can use a thing you received, and it's new and nice and you can't use it, by all means give it to someone else who would like to have it. But I don't pretend it's a specially-chosen gift or act like it's any kind of big deal.
-
Yes, very. I still do it though.
-
It may be cheap, but it's certainly not respectful especially to the person who gave it to you.
-
Yes it is cheap to recycle gifts.
-
I don't think so. If it's a gift that you will not use, (and have not opened), I think it's perfectly alright to give it to someone who may use it. But, I do think it's cheap if you open it, maybe use it a time or two, or just have it setting out, (opened), and then re-gift it. I also think it's okay to re-gift if you cannot afford to buy something else.

As the little bird said... Cheap-Cheap-Cheap !!!!!
-
Why clutter your house with something you will never use when someone else might appreciate the item-its a win win situation to pass it on!
-
No, I think it is a sensible thing to do. Why have something in a closet? Just don't give it to the person from whom you received it. :)
-
No...I think it's practical...especially if you know someone else can use what you can't. No need in having an overabundance of things you will never use.
-
Hell yes its cheap! Why don't you just tell the person your giving this re gift too, "hey, I got this as a gift, but I have no use for it. If you want it its yours." Why try to pass it off, as you personally purchasing the recycled gift, in the first place?
