You know you do it. If you don't, YOU SHOULD!!!! Re-gifting is a great way to get rid of duplicate items or things you don't like, want, or need. Instead of returning things we don't like/want/need (stores are really making it difficult to return items these days), I just hold on to them and wait for an opportunity to re-gift them. (You do have to keep up with who gave you what because it would be AWFUL to re-gift to the person who gave it to you- and you can't re-gift speciality items that are one-of-a-kind.) You know...those items that you always seem to get an abundance of: lotions, picture frames, candles...RE-GIFT!!!!
You gotta know where I am going with this, right? Get yourself a cheap container and keep all of your re-gift items in it. Or you could store your re-gift items in an empty dresser drawer (such as in a guest room). When an occasion arises, check your re-gift box first. Save yourself a little time and money. I can't tell you how many times my re-gift box has saved us.
Of course, I can't show you a picture of my re-gift box because you might see one of your future gifts :)

Where do you put the box? I have so many boxes at the tops of my closet, and it is getting ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI know...the containers can create another issue :) Mine is in the top of my youngest son's closet. You could keep it under a bed, or if you have an extra drawer you could keep your items in there, or in the garage. Do you have an extra top shelf in each closet? If not, read my post about that. It sure can create a bunch of extra space if you put one in each closet in your house.
ReplyDeleteAlso be sure to take the gift tag out of the box/item!! That happened to me once!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Tammi! That is a MUST!!!!
