What gift did you get this year that is going in the "Re-Gift" pile?

You don't wash your car?

Read the post. it can only be used near their hometown.

Yea, but they must visit. Obviously they drive there. Throw it into the glove box and wash the car before you get to mom's house. Also, tell them you don't use the gift certificate. Maybe they think you love them. Communication is the key.

I gave my grandmother the scarf my inlaws gave me. My grandmother has called several times to thank me. A very successful regift.

A $50 Ruths Chris Steakhouse gift certificate. We are not into steakhouses at all, not even non chains. It was a thoughtful gift though and I will give it to someone who will use it rather than letting RCS keep the money.

A pink polka dot scarf. Have you met me? I would probably wear a live weasel before I would wear that scarf.

Fuscia lip gloss
My 872nd travel coffee mug

Can I have the travel mug? I don't have even one, and would really like to drink my tea on the way to school drop-off.

In return, I will give you the box DVD set of Laugh In, an all-polyester scarf with printed tulips, or a glass fruit pedestal with a pewter base.

Scratchy baby dress that resembles the WOW wear on Toddlers and Tiaras (at least it wasn't another cheerleading outfit).

I got no gifts so nothing to re-gift.

This year he got twelve cop ornaments. He has gotten cop bibles, wall hangings and bumper stickers. Funny thing is he is a undercover drug detective. He does not advertise his "cop" status!

I'm sorry, but I find this absolutely hilarious. I'd probably do the same thing if my brother was a cop.

I think it's funny, too.

Why is it funny? It is almost like mocking him. You wouldn't buy your corporate lawyer brother cheesy knicknacks making fun of his profession, would you?

First PP here, and yes, I would. But that's the sort of family we have, it's all in good fun.

Right, it was funny the first five years, but now it is getting old.

Eh. Don't get bent out of shape about presents that are even yours.

Why is it obvious they drive to their hometown? Or did you mean that people in their hometown drive in that location?
