Things that can go in the gift cubby:

If you go, hummm, when you open the box, you have done this no explanation needed, this may be a gift cubby item. 

Any item that you say to yourself, "where in the H#%@ am I going to put that" this may be a gift cubby item.
If you cannot control laughing out loud when you open the gift, this may be a gift cubby item.

When you get that sick feeling and start thinking how in the world am I going to convince this person that I like this item, and knowing they will never believe you, this also may be a gift cubby item.
If you have allergies and the thought of a lavender scented candle makes you break out in hives you may want to put it in the gift cubby.  Just go on with yourself, the person didn't know you very well anyway.

If you receive 8 4x6 picture frames, don't like your kids or your dog, you may want to put these in the gift cubby.

If you immediately think, (Insert your target regiftee's name here)  would really like this gift, this might be a good item for the gift cubby.

If your head positioned looking down, and you open the gift and are embarrassed to look up at the other people in the room, this may be a gift cubby item.

 If you open the gift and look around to see if anyone noticed you opening the gift and close the box as fast as you can so that nobody sees the gift, this may be a gift cubby item.

If it is a pink toilet paper cover that someone made for you, I know there is a place for it on the back of the toilet, but, this IS a gift cubby item.

Doesn't matter if it is genetic mutation or not.  If I come to your house and you have one, I am going to call you out!!! And tell who you are, on this forum.  Better hide them from me. 

If you blush!  Regift immediately. 

If you are one of those people (I think there was one) who does not want a ABC store on every corner and you get a set of wine glasses this could be a gift that would go

into the gift cubby. 

Look everybody there is your FatPappy!!  FatPappy send those wine glasses over here.  I am pretty sure he was not the one that didn't want only 1 ABC store.  That was a CC and he is not one of them. Just liked that pic. 

Now that you have the basic rules, you should know if you get a gift that goes into the gift cubby.  If you have a question about a gift feel free to contact me, I will be checking throughout the holiday season to see if anyone is having any problems.

Some people call regifting tacky.  I happen to think of it as recycling.  Like those gift bags and bows that all of yall are passing around.  I guess if you can give me an old used bag, you might as well give me a year old gift. People know the bags are used especially after they have 8 years of stickers piled up.  At least hopefully the gift wont look as old as the bag. 

Nobody wants to return stuff.  You hate it just like I do.  It is awkward to ask where the gift came from, and do you really want to know that the giver purchased it on sale, and that they got a rebate too?  Just throw it in the gift cubby and save yourself from disliking them.

What to do if you know you have received a REGIFT from someone.  You only have three options here.
~Say "thank you."
~Smile and say "thank you."
~Say "thank you" and then tell them that it is something that you are unable to use, ask politely if they mind if you take it back to the store where they purchased it, and the look of horror on their face.  <~~~~#3 is my personal favorite, it is a lot of fun.

Do's and Don'ts

Don't~~ say you have never done it, cause I bet you might be, how can I say this…..lying!

Do~~ Keep a record of who gave you what.  A little note book in the closet, or box works great.  I promise that nothing will ever be worse than for you to give earrings to your cousin that she gave you two years ago.  My sister says this bites, happened to her once.  You think you will remember, but I am tellin' you now you will not.  Listen to me!! I don't give out this information for my health, it is to help you!!!

Don't~~Leave the old gift tag on the gift.  Covering it with a larger sticker is one thing, but being obvious about it being a regift is not cool.  If the tag says to Bubba from FatPappy and it is really from FatPappy to Macca then we have a problem.

Do~~Put some fresh paper around the gift, nobody wants year old wrapping paper with that attic dust (this could give you away), trust me.

Don't~~Wait a long time to regift.  The faster the better.  I know you are not going to keep record of who gave you what like I suggested above, you decided when you read that you weren't gonna do it, I know you people so well.  So if you regift fast then you have a better chance of remembering who gave it to you and not regifting back to the original gifter.

Don't ~~Give a partially used gift card.  Now you know this has happened or I would not feel the need to write about it.  My sister the world's cheapest person, did this to my child.  If a gift card says $25 and has a balance or 11.93 this is tacky!!!!!  Guess she really needed those last minute items at Walmart.

Do~~Think distance.  Out of state is pretty safe.  If you have a unicorn sweater

that grandma gave you it might be best to send it to a friend out of state.  You would not want grandma to run into your sweater at the Hole in the Wall restaurant.

Don't~~Give a hand me down because it looks almost new.  You will be pegged as a regifter. Dead giveaway.

Don't~~Regift a book that has an inscription from the original gift giver on the inside. Think people think!!   You have got to be smarter than that.

Do~~Be careful that the regifted item is suitable for the regiftee.  You would not want to give Bama a Desperate Housewives Trivia game, an Xbox baseball game might be a better gift for him/her.  GO BRAVES
