She thought they were cute, but she felt "silly being a 60 year old woman with stuffed animals" So they were put away and not seen again, until a year later when I opened my Xmas present.A beautiful gift basket and the basket were the bears. I almost died laughing, my reaction was "Mom?!?!? Your a regifter????" to which she simply said, "why not, I would never have them out and I know you liked them and would display them somewhere"She was right of course, but I was still floored, who knew Mom was a regifter? It simply wasn't possible. Not my Mom.I lost her 2 years later and those two little bears ( one an Angel bear) now mean the world to me. I look at them everyday and am so glad Mom was a regifter. I know that Angel bear in particular is my Mom watching over me and letting me know everything is ok. I was never a regifter, but I believe in it now. Regifting is a beau Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:00:17 GMT http://regiftable.com/RegiftingStories/Default.aspx?storyID=1259 I gave my dad's girlfriend, who is cat crazy and collects anything cat, a beautiful couch throw that I had hunted for months to find for her. It was the perfect size for her couch and she used it for months. Imagine my suprise, when on Christmas morning 5 years ago, I opened my gift from her and found this comforter staring up at me from the box! My dad's girlfriend smiled joyfully and asked mehow I liked her gift, and I told her that I had loved it when I gave it to her last Year! Boy was her face red!!!

There was never a lot of money growing up, and the family grew up hearing stories about how tight money was when they were little. Consequently, regifting was something she regularly did. My beloved grandmother lived to be almost 92, and over the years we got used to getting odd gifts from my Gram. Many were gifts that she had received and didn't think she needed. It wasn't unusual for me to receive a gift that my sister or Mom had given her the year before. Being brought up the right way, we would always look surprised on Christmas Day, and thank her so much for her gift. Gram has been gone 3 years now, and I still think back fondly on the 'unsual' gifts that I would receive from her each Christmas!

We "regifted" his eyes, skin, bones, and more so that others would have the gift of sight. Over 70 people will be helped by the gift we gave to others from the precious gift God gave to us 18 years ago.

He came out of his room one day, all smiles, holding a wrapped box and put it under our tree. "That's for you, Mom," he said, proudly. On Christmas morning, he ran to the tree and grabbed my gift and brought it to me to open, which I did. Inside was a very pretty brand new purse. I said, "Thank you, sweetheart. I love it." As I continued to look at it, I said, "You know, this looks a lot like a purse I have in my closet but haven't used yet." "Yes, Mom. It is!" he said happily. "You weren't using it, so I decided to give it to you for Christmas!" I hugged him and thanked him. It was one of the sweetest and most memorable gift I ever got.

I'm, a volunteer for the St Vincent de Paul Society. Each year we sponser a Giving Tree program for those in need. Many are working poor and those who live below the poverty line. We do home visits to each family who signs up for the gift progam to obtain the information about the children sizes, ages, items they could use for Christmas etc. Hours before one such visit a woman walked into our office and offered us a twin bed, the bedding and a Christmas tree with lights and ornaments. She was moving and had no need of these items. We took her name and said we'd call her if someone requested these things. One hour later as we concluded our home visit with a single working mom on an extermely tight budget.She inquired about a place she could go to find a single bed for her child and a used Christmas tree.The moral- always regift your unwanted/not needed gifts!
