Thanks for reading. Yes, I think "regifting" has a bad reputation. We should learn to share what we have. Handmade gifts are definitely more meaningful... as long as you think it's something you think that they would like to use. :) Chris. Hi Linda!

Thanks for reading. Yes, I think “regifting” has a bad reputation. We should learn to share what we have. Handmade gifts are definitely more meaningful… as long as you think it’s something you think that they would like to use. :)

I look for things I already own but don't need any longer, that I think the other person might enjoy, such as a book or DVD I liked that I think they may enjoy as well (make sure the item is in good condition). I have also been making gifts - knitted scarves from fun yarns, stitched baby samplers, and baked goods. Recently I have started “shopping” in my own house.

So basically I agree with most of what you're saying. It is so meaningful to make memories together....anything from a cooking class, to a wine appreciation course, to a pottery session. Everybody needs more creativity in their lives these days. At the same time, gifts such as a dentist cleaning for someone without insurance or laser eye surgery are very non-traditional but will improve the health of the recipient.
