- PinkFloydFan, on 01/01/2008, -0/+38If I ever find myself recording what gift I regifted to who in a database then my life will have lost all meaning.
- AriaStar, on 01/01/2008, -1/+32You know all those fruitcakes? I want people to regift all of those to me. I love fruitcake and they're better aged.
- inactive, on 01/01/2008, -3/+25I have a grandmother-in-law who regifted back to us the following year.
- yfguitarist, on 01/01/2008, -2/+17Digg me down please!
- HastyBoom, on 01/01/2008, -6/+17who ***** cares about ***** like this? seriously? my mother-in-law died in a car accident on christmas eve. Im serious. ***** the world. and ***** ppl with petty "problems" like this. Happy ***** new year *****.
btw im drunk. - str3ama, on 01/01/2008, -1/+11if you have to do it, for whatever reason, make sure you don't give back the same gift someone gave you. Personally I think it's a bit of an jackass move regardless of how crappy the gift is I usually keep it - even if it means I don't use it.
- yfguitarist, on 01/01/2008, -2/+12This Christmas my cousin gave away two real gifts from her brother at our White Elephant. He had given them to her daughters. Needless to say he was a sad panda when he found out that they didn't like his gifts.
- inactive, on 01/01/2008, -1/+11How to write the obvious on your blog and get it on digg for extra $$$
- WildTang3nt, on 01/01/2008, -0/+7Your mother-in-law? Dude, don't most people wish their in-laws would just disappear into a void never to be heard from again?
- Hoogs, on 01/01/2008, -2/+8BUT IT'S BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IT WILL DESTROY US ALL IF YOU DON'T REGIFT AND USE RECYCLED WRAPPING PAPER. SHAME ON YOU YOU HORRIBLE PERSON.
- warrenterr, on 01/01/2008, -1/+6a week late on this one.
- mlvassallo, on 01/01/2008, -1/+6That was lame.
- mcool119, on 01/01/2008, -1/+6Should have been titled: A completely useless article containing 5 things that anyone with any semblance of common sense would never do in the first place, without the guidance of said article.
- Aensland, on 01/01/2008, -0/+4Me too, i love fruitcakes. How can people not? They're not those funky niche tasting foods... it's cake, and it's fruity, what's not to like.
- Genevera, on 01/01/2008, -0/+4I regift if it's something that I think the other person will actually like or use. I'd rather see it put to use and enjoyed instead of collecting dust in my closet. And there's really no sense in hanging on to gift cards for places I never shop, so I give those away, too. It's not that I don't appreciate it when someone gives me a gift-after all, it's the thought that counts, but I'd rather pass them on to someone who will actually use them.
- unearth, on 01/01/2008, -1/+4Gah, too many ambiguous pronouns, can't follow the story!
- Jeffler, on 01/01/2008, -1/+4Dugg you up for correcting yourself instead of complaining about the comment system, which is crap, but we get it already.
- codyman, on 01/01/2008, -0/+3thank God i've ben drinking cause now I can tune out arianna huff-a-lots rants.. maybe she should gift herself the gift of silence
- Tenlow, on 01/01/2008, -2/+5I was raised to always keep gifts, as it was incredibly rude to give away something you were given, even if you hated it.
- inactive, on 01/01/2008, -2/+5Thank you, I am retarded and find this article helpful.
- cap11235, on 01/01/2008, -0/+3eBay is your friend.
- AriaStar, on 01/01/2008, -0/+3The problem is that so many of them are store-bought, and store-bought fruit cakes are make with cheap ingredients. I made my own this year, ten of them, and it cost me $80 in ingredients, not including the bottle of real brandy I got to make them. They take about three hours to bake at a low temp to not burn out the alcohol, and then the should sit and age for a month for the best flavor, though I kept one once for two years as a test of sorts, and it was amazing. It's like it all turns to alcohol. But naturally these can't be sold in stores with alcohol, another reason to void them pre-made. This little hidden quality of the best of them. Just slice and eat cold, or warm and smother with a bit of butter and a glass of egg nog.
fwiw, a fruitcake is just a dense cake with cherries and pineapple and alcohol added. So it's amazing how easy it is to ***** them up. - jcsw, on 01/01/2008, -0/+3It's a lie...
Oh god I feel so guilty now. - obxjdt, on 01/01/2008, -1/+3My guess is that this chick gave a few crappy gifts last year, and got a few of them back this year. Why else would she write this the day after Christmas instead of a week or two before???
Oh yeah, because it's the huffingtonpost.... Lumps of coal must suck..... - jgitbraddox, on 01/01/2008, -1/+3my grandparents made a stupid move when regifting. a smaller action figure came bundled with a large toy car, which was obvious by the "free gift with xxxxx item" that was still on the gift when my brother received it. my cousin got the large toy car - my brother got stuck with the free gift.
but you know, i guess it's the thought that matters, right? - mogebier, on 01/01/2008, -1/+3I have never done this.
*shrug* - inactive, on 01/01/2008, -1/+3OK, go ahead and shoot me but I think the whole concept of giving gifts at christmas is overrated. I mean the retail industry loves the tradition and promotes the crap out of it but, honestly, how meaningful is it to give a gift to someone when it is expected of you. "I didn't know what to get you so here's a [insert ***** gift here] because I had to get you something. Merry Christmas." What if, instead of gifting and re-gifting, we all embraced the Christmas spirit by being nice to people all year round? How cool would that be?
- fuzzypuppy, on 01/01/2008, -2/+4I have a grandmother like that. She loved my cousin but hated my brother and I. She always bought us cheap crap but the cousin always got the expensive, nice stuff.
I got revenge by not running very fast to the washroom when I had the stomach flu...she never did get the vomit stains out of the carpets and eventually had to replace them. - aduzik, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1If you're going to make a cake, make a rum cake, they're effin' amazing. My boyfriend's mom made one for us this year and we're resisting eating the last couple of pieces it's so good.
- topace3000, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1If you find any of those 5 things useful and original consider offing yourself for the benefit of humanity.
- afruff23, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1Degifting is okay though.
- inactive, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1STOP ***** SPAMMING EVERY DIGG ARTICLE WITH THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyone at all, just look at his profile to see what he has contributed - roberto_deneero, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1welcome to yesterday, dude ALL blogs are useless recycled neurospasms
- melonhedd, on 01/01/2008, -1/+2he was a what
- antdude, on 01/01/2008, -1/+2LOL. And then what happened?
- HastyBoom, on 01/01/2008, -2/+3Thanks stranger. Everything helps at this point.
- roberto_deneero, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1so, give her shatty ass present BACK to her for her birthday this year. hopefully it's Harry & David.
- rdoger6424, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1I just played 2 hours of portal. That was my first thought too
- Stevanoski, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1No regifting of items received before the Green Trend, sheesh, you Progressives sure have alot of rules for people to live by. Freedom suffers under Leftist leadership.
- HastyBoom, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1True. But this mother-in-law happened to be the rock of the family.
- str3ama, on 01/01/2008, -0/+1lol. I'll assume you're serious. Re-gifting isn't going to cut down on the amount of products being created, yes I know all about supply and demand - recycling wrapping paper is fine - but regifting will most certainly not help as products decompose over time, so even if they start creating less products - the older ones are eventually going to decompose.
- Canadarm, on 01/01/2008, -3/+3Dugg down for being so blatantly obvious that Arianna must think we are retarded.
- makeupgirl015, on 01/01/2008, -0/+0As an alternative to regifting, you could donate the item, rather than it sitting around in a closet somewhere...
One person's trash is another's treasure, after all! - yfguitarist, on 01/01/2008, -4/+4This Christmas my cousin gave away two real gifts from her brother at our White Elephant. He had given them to her daughters. Needless to say he was a sad panda when he found out that they didn't like his gifts.
- antdude, on 01/01/2008, -1/+1Try it. :P
- Biggzipp, on 01/01/2008, -2/+2this article is retarded.
- TheNepenthe, on 01/01/2008, -2/+1Yeah, this couldn't have all been more obvious in the first place. :/
- tas08, on 01/01/2008, -4/+2Good to hear from you again Captain Obvious, that'll be all soldier - errr ummm Miss Olivia Zaleski.
- mcool119, on 01/01/2008, -4/+2Not a better way in the world to deal with your problems. Dugg. :)
