Aibu to regift a present?

[NotQuintAtAllOhNo]

I got something very nice and lovely from a friend.

But I dont know what to do with it. I am 40 years old, have lived away from my parents for half my life. I have everything I need.

I certainly dont need a Tea towel, a washing up sponge, a measuring jug, spatula and a rolling pin. I have it all. But not nicely presented like this, with cellophane wrap.

We are invited for Sunday lunch to a couple who just moved into their first flat, after having lived in flat share the last 5 years since they got married. They shared with the owner of the house and some other friends.

Aibu to think that this would make a lovely gift for them?

I feel really guilty for thinking about regifting it, as I dont want to be a rude biatch.

Do it

Do it, just make sure that the second recipient won't tell the original giver! I re-gift all the time - its that or a charity shop.

They dont know each other.

They are also expecting their first baby, so will also bring nice something for bump.

Re gift it. It is a lovely gift for them and you save money. It's a win win situation.

Of course YANBU - it's the most sensible thing to do. The only thing to remember if you have a regifting box / cupboard, is to clearly mark anything that goes in there with a note of who gave it you, to avaoid any embarassing incidents.

I would, definitely. But if they are expecting a baby you do need to take something else nice as well otherwise you may end up with hormonal tears snotting on your shoulder as she decides she only has drudgery to look forward to...

The baby is getting a lovely towel with hoodie, and some lovely vests.

Boring, I know. But useful. . SHE is getting something lovely from Arran aromatics.

Oh good! Regift away then...

Regift away. Much better than it lying unloved at the back of cupboard.

Oh definitely re-gift without a second thought!

Yanbu. Do it do it do it!

Sounds reasonable to me. Just avoid doing what my mil did when she gave me the Xmas present I gave her the year before! Actually I didn't mind too much as I liked it. I just get her a voucher now though.

It is far too nice to be at the back of a cupboard.
It is a perfect present, just not for me!

It is beautifully presented, and color coordinated in soft browns. It is a called "the no calorie chocolate cake", made on the same philosophy as a "Nappy Cake", it is a fantastic idea (!!) with lots of useful items for baking. Only, I have so many useful items for baking, it would be a waste to unravel it and put it in my drawers.

I dont have a regifting cupboard. I get so few gifts that it would remain empty all the time!

Go for it!!

That is pretty unanimous! Thanks!

This reminds me of the time someone passed on the box of hankerchiefs they didn't want not realising there was money inside too.
