Yep I would do it too .. especially with newborns, they get so many clothes its rediculous, you would have to change them 50 times a day to go through it.
So if we get double ups, or things that we have been given as gifts that are too small, I pop into a gift box so that when we need a gift I can look through it to see if there is anything appropriate for that particular person and time of year.

I would not spend another cent on her.

We found out because my sister was looking on trademe for something similar and then it popped up - so she looked at it thinking that someone else had exactly the same thing that we got SIL - but then saw the Trademe name and the area and thought oh that is SIL.
Mum was guttered, I was more annoyed than upset - and to make it worse shes just gotten something VERY similar to what we brought her!
It was 2 years ago and Im still sour about it!

Same here Though we haven't had stuff to put in there for a while, it was mainly stuff from when Harry was born that was the wrong season... oh and we were given heaps of polarfleece type baby blankets that we don't use, so most those were gifted to the City Mission.
For our engagement, we were gifted this extravagent pressie - a dinner set with gold rims. We opened it and found a card to the people who gave it to us lol - they got it for their wedding! So because of that I felt ok to sell it on TM

That is soooo funny!! yep I'd feel fine selling it too
I don't really regift, I guess cos most the time I like the presents and wanna keep them, and when I don't like them I don't wanna give them to someone else... but if I did get nice stuff for the wrong season or size I would think it's fine to regift it I guess....

There's the odd present that I've put heaps of time and thought into that I'd be gutted to learn someone regifted. For most of the part, though, I wouldn't mind if someone regifted one of my presents (particularly something like baby clothes!). Once it's theirs, it's theirs, they can do what they want with it.
Wouldn't mind receiving something regifted, either, I don't think - I'm sure I have from time to time.
I don't tend to do it myself, however, just because I know it upsets some people, and I'd hate to cause offense.

Im similar to Hopes, with the feelings on regifting giving and receiving
With all the clothing.. there needs to be a swap thread, where you could post a pic of what you dont want/need size etc and then if someone else posted something you would be keen to swap it for you could

My cousin who recently got married asked us if she could re-gift a wedding present of theirs, I said as long as it wasn't junk we'd never use go for it! Turns out its one of the best presents we received but they already had 2 so didn't need another one!! So I'm stoked!!!
I've caught out a friend re-gifting. She got given a towel/facecloth/handtowel set for her birthday. Then for xmas she gave me the facecloths. Not the entire set, just the facecloths! I thought that was a bit cheap! LOL.
I don't have a problem with re-gifting, or getting gifts like that, as long as you've put some thought into it and know its going to be used etc!
