No, you are passing along a blessing to someone.
What is junk to one is a blessing to others.
You are probably capitalizing to mean for others to Pay Attention. To get their Attention. Your tired of trying to make someone understand by elaborating...so Capitalizing might work.

No. Once someone gives you something, it is yours to do with what you want...they no longer have any claim on it. The ownership of the item is YOURS.
Now, is it in good taste? It can be, if done correctly.
First of all, never regift if there is a chance the original giver might find out you did so, unless they are OK with regifting. If a particularly sensitive person finds out you have regifted something they gave, there could be hard feelings for quite a long time...and most probably every year at the most inopportune time for that...the holidays.
Secondly, don't regift something you have used. This is just plain tacky and disrespectful to the person you are giving it too.
My mother often gives me clothes that I just can't stand; however, she is highly sensitive, and would be hurt if I returned them. Since I don't live near her, and she doesn't see me often, she doesn't know that I secretly regift these to my good friend who has the same fashion tastes as my mom. They will never meet each other, and if they do, it will only be for a few minutes in my presence.
Wow...I've talked so much about this, it is starting to feel like a sin. I didn't realize how sneaky this is.
Oh, well. I'm not going to stop. My friend can use the clothes, and I won't wear them.
It is great to regift to co-workers... probably the safest regift by far.
Wow, my fingers hurt...lol.

Not at all! Regifting is a good thing! It helps reduce waste. It's a sin to just throw out the junk people give you (or let it sit in your closet) when it come make someone else happy.

definite I agree, you ought to not re present hand-crafted delivers. i think of that's suitable to re present maximum issues only as long as they don't seem to be to non-public. I even have even have some humorous thoughts with re gifting: 2 of my buddies have been assembly for the 1st time, neither had ever seen one yet another.. that they had the two agreed considering that they have been assembly near to Christmas to get one yet another some thing. My buddy (She is quite skinny) replaced into re gifting her one piece length 14 bathers considering that she had in no way used them. the different buddy replaced right into some length 20. So my buddy ended up getting a tiny pair of re proficient bathers which she re proficient too! for my section i think of you ought to have the means to re present issues which you're in no way going to apply.

Jer 10:1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jer 10:3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
Jer 10:4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jer 10:5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
1Ti 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
1Ti 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2Pe 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty

On if you re-gift a used gift or you re-gift it back to the person who gave it to you in the first place (do that it might get dangerous)!! LOL

I can remember when we had to do that so we would have gifts for everyone.
this year my wife is paying penance for that and buying for everyone.
