Re-Gifting ?

[SideShow Bob]

Is it considered Re-Gifting if you are the winner of an item from entering a drawing and you give it as a gift to someone else mainly because you have no use for the prize ?

I say no it is not, but the domestic boss says it is .

Opinions ?

If they don't know that you won it, or do know, but want it way more than you do. Then who cares?

[cstone]

Prize winnings are not gifts. Prizes are either the fruits of skill or luck.

To be a re-gift, the item or service first had to have been a gift.

Following the above logic, a prize is not a re-gift.

[Holger Danske]

what Irving said, and tell the domestic boss to get in the kitchen and make you a sammich.

[theGinsue]

Then run like hell when she comes at you out of the kitchen with a butcher knife.


My opinion (for what it's worth), is that it is NOT a re-gift for the reasons cstone specified.

[MarkCO]

Agree. Put on your track shoes before you tell
the domestic boss to get in the kitchen and make you a sammich since she is clearly wrong.

[spleify]

Well, I'm gonna go against popular opinion here and say YES, its a derivative of a re-gift. I look as a gift of something of thought and consideration. Giving something of which was "given" to you you first then given to someone else is "recycling" at a minimum... JMO, because you asked

With that being said. If its something your buddy would enjoy more give it to him.

[sniper7]

No I'd say its not. If you feel bad about it you can give it to me for nothing and clear your conscious.

[T-Giv]

What is the object of this discussion? Perhaps it's something I could use....that way I can take it off of your hands and eliminate the weight on your conscience altogether?

EDIT: Damn you sniper you beat me to it!

[Bitter Clinger]

I'm a bit worried about something similar. I'm giving my dad my AR. I just built myself a new one is that kosher?

[Great-Kazoo]

What's that saying ?

It's the Thought that Counts.

[SideShow Bob]

Firearms are generational "hand me downs" that are accepted with reverence. In your case it would be a "hand me up", and I am sure your father would accept it as you would if it were comming from him.

[Jamnanc]

No you should give it to me. Dads only get factory ar's.


Of course you should give it to him.

[spleify]

He will love the AR

[sniper7]

He won't appreciate the Ar like my safe would!

[mcjhr]

I say give it. Beats giving nothing at all.

[Sparky]

If anybody needs to regift I am available.

[Gman]

The Secretary of the Treasury at my home says, "No".

Whether you purchased it or won it, doesn't matter. If someone else can make better use of it, pass it along.

I got a sweet pair of binoculars from my wife's mom's husband (re-marriage so not really a F-I-L) that he won as a prize. I could care less because it's a sweet gift to me. A gift is a gift. If you didn't own it prior and someone gives it to you, just appreciate it. Spending your own money on something doesn't change what the item is.

[3beansalad]

To re-gift would by definition require that you obtained the item as a gift. Having obtained in some other fashion eliminates the ability to add the re- to the gifting process.

If perhaps you hold a drawing for said item, would it therefore be called a re-draw? Maybe re-prize?

[Monky]

I've already told people they're getting re-gifted shit I don't want. Gift cards to places I'll never go.. coffee shops, horrible breweries.. I have no shame.
