Xmas mistakes #6 - ‘NOT’ re-gifting

Ok, so I know most of you won’t like this one, but when vintage is in Vogue, and recycling is the new black, well why not?

What else do we do with the crap that we get from our Work Kris Kringle but place it in the stocking of an unsuspecting niece or nephew?

I’ve only ever received one Kris Kringle I liked in my life and it was a bottle of wine. We played that funny game where you may have to hand it back to the next person who likes it. Although only 10am, I just cracked it opened straight away and started sipping it there and then from the bottle. Rendering the gift second hand immediately. Given I’m a lush it was understandable by those around me but in reality I didn’t want to go anywhere near the ‘whatever for dummies 101’, or the crap toys that light up when you smack them. Ho Ho Ho all so funny but throwing it in the bin is not an option. There really is only one thing to do.

Our Grandmas did it for decades to us, and Granny action is coming back.

I say re-gift and get rid of your junk. Today I’m re-gifting some Fiji coasters I picked up while on holidays that I never opened and also 5 unread books. Someone is going to be happy, and if not, I’m sure their Uncle Kenny will love reading those thrillers in between piña coladas by the pool on his Gold Coast yearly jaunt.
