If you found a gift that you gave in the charity shop would you buy it again and take it to your mums house?

[GozillasZit]

If you knew For sure as you’d “inscribed” something under it

Suggestions please

LH of course !

*chicken! Not chucked

Of course not. You can't force people to like the things you give them, or be upset about it if they don't (as long as they haven't been rude and SAID they didn't like it!) If you find out they didn't like it or want it any more, the polite thing to do is to pretend not to be aware of it. Giving something to a charity shop, in a way, suggests they still think it has some value to someone, otherwise it would be in the bin!

Definitely buy it back and sneak it in 😂

The thing on Charity Shop Shit that may or may not be what the OP is talking about

@Lordfrontpaw was it an RSPCA charity shop by any chance? The one near me had the creepiest doll ever in its window for months until DD got MIL to buy it for her, it stands opposite her bedroom door staring at me.

Please buy it and sneak it back in!

If the object really is the one Thescrewinthetuna posted a picture of, op needs to buy her mum roses and diamonds for keeping that on display for 25 years
Not the bloody yoke back again.

I, and I'm sure some others are now desperate to know what this amazing item is op. Also a bit worried in case I've bought the same for my mum and she is desperately hankering to off load it to the charity shop

I was about to say someone asked the same on the Charity Shop Shit group

Please tell us what it is! And another vote for Flamingos idea.

dustibooks mnahmnah Nope. It is a framed chicken made from pieces of felt and embroidery thread wrapped around nails, with some cross stitch. It is very special. I can't think who has it now, but it didn't come back my way this Christmas and that's what's important

I would definitely buy it and regift it to her. Possibly with a boomerang.

Because I'm a passive aggressive bitch, and that's how I roll.

Only if I wanted to be unkind. Or was sure my mum understood the joke.

If you think she'd laugh I'd definitely buy it for her. Do a little tag for it saying "I was lonely and wanted to go back home." My mother would do this, and would also laugh if I bought it for her again.

I did this but gave it to someone else. My sister kept asking me to crochet a blanket for her to go over a double bed. I did it in the end, to her pattern and the colours she picked out. I'm not a fast crocheter so it took months and months of work, working on it every evening and cost a bonb in wool. A few weeks after giving it to her I found it in a charity shop in the town she lives in.

@MashedPotatoBrainz I would have been gutted had that happened to me. I crochet and know how much work goes into even the simplest looking item. Did you say anything?

But yes I think it would be a good joke to buy it back and hide it somewhere in your Mum's house - possibly with a note attached saying 'you can't get rid of me that easily'

I like this idea.

Baaaaaa! Rtft it is a book, it hasn't been on the mantelpiece or on display it is a book! My DM would be amused if I bought it back for her. Go on, do it !!

No I didn't. I backed off completely and have made no effort with her since. Last time I spoke to her was when I gave it to her 7 years ago.

I would buy it and wrap it up and give it to her (straight-faced) as a pretend gift for Mother's Day - but have her a proper present too. My mam would have loved that!

I have rtfs, TARSCOUT, where does op say it’s a book?

My Mam would have loved that . Are you sure about that?
Jesus, I hope nobody has the bright idea of regifting my charity shop tat back to me and expecting me to find it entertaining! If I want it I don’t charity shop it in the first place. What exactly is funny about this?

Funny! that would be hilarious in a sitcom but in real life probably not, I haven't got the balls

It really depends on if she would find it funny or whether she would be really embarrassed and upset?

Baaaaaa! Rtft it is a book, it hasn't been on the mantelpiece or on display it is a book!
Am I reading the wrong thread?
Where does it say anything about a book?
