If so, what was it?

When I was younger, there was a bottle of Old Spice that went around our family for about 8 years.
I have it now, still sealed in it's box.
They don't even make this kind anymore.

Absolutely! And I don't feel bad about it at all because if it's the choice between soething sitting in a box in the attic (& eventually being sold at a yard sale) or making someone else happy, it's a no brainer. I am truly fortunate to have most of what I need/want at any given time and believe re-gifting is sharing that fortune. I am very careful that it isn't re-gifted in the same circle (friends/family) so as not to hurt the giver's feelings. And I never re-gift handmade things, but certainly have with things like novelty socks (don't wear them), decorative items, books and other media (especially if I already have it), jewelry that its not to my taste, etc. Have a couple opportunities to participate in grab bags around the holidays, which is a great re-gifting opportunity. Also donate to various toy/gift drives....the ultimate re-gift!

Yes, many times. I really have everything I need and often I receive gifts that I know someone else will use, while I will just leave it in the box or on a shelf. I have re-given books, small kitchen appliances, all kinds of chocolate and candy, a sweater, and toiletries. These days we ask some people to make donations on our behalf to a food bank or the cancer society or something like that so we get fewer things we don't need.

Yes. Some bath soaps and lotion - I thought it smelled awful, but the person I gave it to thought it was the best stuff they ever got, and wanted to know where I got it so they could go get more. I about died when I had to fess up to re-gifting it and not knowing where the product was purchased at.

Yes, I feel bad (well, maybe not too bad, he-he) but I have a couple of times. One time it was a sweater that my mother-in-law gave to my daughter, and was 2 sizes too small and there wasn't any larger size despite me telling her the correct size for my girl, she insisted on getting that one size.....so I gave it to my niece who's birthday was after Christmas.
And I have given co-workers some Amaretto Tea that my sister makes ( she just knows in her mind that it is the best ever, and it really isn't!)

Absolutely. Chocolates! I hate them. Seems that too many people have no imagination and always bring them as hostess gifts...last year at one party alone, we received 9 boxes of chocolates! We put them in food bank box.

Sometimes if the kids get something for birthday or Christmas and they have out-grown it, I'll regift it to Toys for Tots or homeless shelters. My kids have plenty...

With the fee of taking part in cards the two we would desire to start writing in pencil so that's erased or, as you suggested re-wrap the cardboard. in line with threat the cardboard human beings gets the assumption and decrease the fees.
