Regifting Is Tacky AF!

Specifically in these 5 situations

The first time I remember being regifted something I was shocked. I believe it was middle school and my best friend handed me one of those cute dollar store bags (not personalized) for my birthday. I was excited because up until that point no one really paid attention to my birthday.

Upon opening the “gift”, I found a black short-sleeved off-the-shoulder shirt (I’d never wear, even now). There were no tags or ANY hint of newness to the shirt. I think I even saw a lint ball or three, come to think of it. From that moment, I’ve decided that regifting is tacky AF! Especially if you fit in these 5 categories:

1. You tried to regift something old as something new. Who’s gettin married sis? Don’t nobody want your hand-me-down regift that you can clearly see is not even close to new. SHOW ME SOME RECEIPTS! Deoderant smudge. Cracks. Dust. But, you wrapped it and stuck it in a bag/box. NO!
2. You’re a same circle regifter. Why in God’s name would you even bother regifting something from someone we all go to Taco Tuesday with? Like the person who bought it is not going to notice that it’s being worn, used, or housed by someone in the same circle. If you’re going to regift, then give it to that Secret Santa co-worker you didn’t even know worked in your office until last Wednesday.
