#TellYourStory | Did You Ever Regift A Present to the Person who Gave It? #Cringe š¬
And it made me think about this idea of getting gifts and getting the wrong gifts or getting gifts that aren't for you and regifting them. And I wanted to know if any of you had any cringeworthy stories about regifting something back to the person who gave it to you in the first place. And I thought about this because I had a woman I was working with on a project for a couple of years, actually, and she was lovely

And there's holiday celebrations at work and then amongst social circles and things of that nature. And I opened my closet because I would put all of the things that I would receive from people that I knew I was not going to ever use, and I stacked them in this closet, still wrapped up, still untouched, everything. And I was like, oh, my God, I have so many resources right here. I am going to regift these things

Wow. Jl. I don't know anybody who has different shelves for different kinds of gifts. I'm kind of blown away. But it sounds like it's a really smart way to not regift things to the wrong people. Really adorable. Thank you for sharing

Hello. Oh, my God. That. That must have been so embarrassing. Yes. I mean, I would have re gifted once or twice, but not to the same person. So I'm sure you would have felt really very embarrassed when she told you, so thank you for sharing this. Bye

You had to bring something that was already in your home, which was great because a couple of us have some gifts and coworker gifts that you don't typically use throughout the year. And I've even gotten someone else's white elephants gifts, and I loved it. So the game came in handy. But these stories are comical. I love them, and I can only imagine how you felt. But, yeah, I would have probably just been like, you know what?
