Friend has regifted something I gave her and put photographic proof on Facebook!

[FirstOfHerName]

I gave her a scarf for her birthday and she's just gone to see her inlaws and one of the many photos she's posted is of her MiL wearing the scarf and proudly showing it off!

Should I:
a) say nothing
b) 'like' the photo or
c) comment saying "nice scarf"???

I'm actually not remotely offended but surely if you regift you keep it quiet?!?

And it was a naice scarf, not a shite one!

Has she borrowed it? I sometimes wear my SIL scarves.

Meh. I’d be glad she gifted it on and didn’t charity shop it! Maybe she needed a gift and couldn’t get one? I’ve really begrudgingly done this before-gave someone a cd I’d bedn given because I knew they’d love it but I couldn’t get another one. They did love it.

Could it have been a similar one, or maybe someone else bought it?

If you're not offended, I'd stick with option one and get on with your day.

Maybe it wasn't to her taste? I'd be happy someone was getting some use out of it rather than it being shoved in a drawer forgotten about

And, yes, she might just have borrowed it because she loved it. I so cba to get bothered about this sort of thing.

I sometimes keep my nicest gifts to give away as 'special' gifts. Mostly because I don't actually NEED anything else and then it means someone else gets a lovely present I probably wouldn't be able to afford! Maybe take it as a compliment?

A.

She may just be borrowing it

Unless you made it yourself there's no guarantee it's the one you got her!

But it wouldn't bother me, I regift stuff too..

I get brought scarves
I never wear scarves
I charity shop them

(It's a crap gift)

Meh. I’d be glad she gifted it on and didn’t charity shop it!

Oh it's not the regifting really, more that I find it quite amusing that she put the photo on Facebook!

I hate them. Never wear them. If she has regifted then at least mil likes it.

Are you 100% sure it's your scarf?

Or she likes it and brought mil the same one?

Could she have bought another one the same to gift because she liked hers so much?

I'm pretty sure it's the same one as I bought it when I was on holiday recently. And she is a scarf wearer.

Imagine if she'd told you that she wasn't that keen on it so was going to give it to her MIL - would you have been less bothered?

Or MIL saw hers and admired it so your friend bought her an identical one

It wouldn't bother me. I've chosen something for her I thought she liked and she might not have and might have given it away but it doesn't matter, I did my bit. I would not say anything,

Maybe she liked it so much she bought her MIL the same one 😁

Could she have bought her MIL the same one as she said she liked it.

I wouldn't be able to resist posting "Nice scarf..."

My best friend keeps buying me scarfs. I don't wear scarfs! I don't regift them only because I don't feel confident passing on scarfs incase the other person doesn't like them either! I would say nice scarf though. I suspect she's forgotten who gave it to her.

@Juells it's tempting, I can't deny! She does tend to post photos at the drop of a hat so she's probably not even realised.

I couldn't be bothered to get upset over this - mind you, I'm not the most laid back person in the world. It's normal to re-gift stuff, I thought.

Totally normal, but surely the unwritten rule is that you don't let the gifter know?

As I said before, it's not the regifting I find funny but the posting of the photo.
