Poll started 7 March 2006: Unwanted gift recycling - Aunt Millie's given you a woolly jumper you hate for your birthday but you know someone the neckline would suit perfectly - would you regift it? Which one of these is the nearest fit to your answer?
a. Never! It's a present. I'd keep it, whether I liked it or not
b. Of course! It'd be silly to waste it
c. Wish I could! Nice idea in theory, but I'd panic they'd find out
d. Re-gift revolutionary! I do it all the time
e. Never again! I did it before and got caught out

Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."
I took a bottle of wine round to someone's house when we went for dinner, unfortunately they had bought the wine round to ours when they came for dinner!
The other useless rubbish goes on ebay.... I mean seriously my partner got hair straightners for Christmas... She's got perfectly straight her already!
Gill, why can't you recycle - I'm sure she won't remember!! or use the oh I've leant that to a friend she really liked it, must remember to get it back sometime line!!!
I recycle gifts I don't want, I wouldn't be offended if someone recycled a gift I gave them. Secret Santa gifts in our office all got swapped round so everyone ended up with something they liked!! The christmas mugs were something else, no one wanted those and we couldn't leave them in the office cause they were a nightmare!!!
