The Daily PollIT’S THE THOUGHT that counts when it comes to presents, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to keep everything you’re given.
It might be seen as impolite to return a gift someone has carefully picked out for you to a shop, but re-gifting is more of a grey area.
Maybe it’s lovely, but just not your style and it will only sit in your wardrobe for years, perhaps you’re just not a chocolate-lover or maybe you got a couple of bottles of bubbly stuff and you’re thinking of giving one to a friend for their birthday in January.
We want to know: Are you planning to re-gift anything you were given for Christmas?

Where’s the option for ‘ I already did’?
@Robc: I’d say you’re a good listener too, sensitive..
@John Murray: ah thanks
Would have to have received a gift in the first place to re gift!! Ba humbug!!
@The Gerry: Ah Ger – you need a hug.
Will the Journo be redoing many polls? Or is it possible to do more than currently? I get its Christmas, but why bother people understand there’s less news stories etc. You may as well increase spacing and font size if you want to make it look like there’s the same quantity of articles!
@ThatLJD: if it bothers you that much, just stop clicking into them..
Simple Ton
@Charmaine Walker: who n every article is a poll or quiz and I have to scroll past so many to get to real articles not just fillers that’s the point that bothers me. It’s Christmas, people understand less content will be there, don’t need to drag things down with chaff quiz and polls every hour! That was all. I see the season of Christmas has treated you well and your attitude to people you don’t know is impeccable! Or maybe you do know!
Yes, why do people go to houses with not 1 or 2 but possibly 5 boxes of junk food. If they landed up with 1 dvd or a car wash voucher id appreciate it so much more.
I have to regift the whole lot or bring it to office on Jan 2nd.
Only issue is that if its in the house I have to have a bite.
@RJ: yes, nothing captures the spirit of Christmas more than a voucher for a car wash. Am still raging that I didn’t get one myself. But on the other hand, my wife is still raging that it’s all I got her. There’s truly no pleasing some people.
@RJ: Hopefully no one buys you rat poison (if it’s in the house….).
Where’s the option “Got no gifts”?
Yes I will re-gift. If I don’t the gift will never see the light of day … and that’s just wrong … just wrong I tells yeah…
no need to – i don’t give or receive cards ,gifts or any of the other tat associated with this time of year , can’t stand it – never have . nothing but one big commercial con trick , im not a ‘religious’ person so to me there is nothing to ‘celebrate’ , cant be doing with all the falsehood and fakery that goes with christmas and new year personally . .
@Eric Davies: You clearly were not visited by three spirits the other night, Ebenezer. :)
@Eric Davies: it’s sad when people fall for the big marketing corporations at Christmas!
Christmas is about what you make it, to me there’s nothing more important than the gift of your family, some good food and a glass of whatever and a laugh. If you have small children then you may have a visit from santa but enjoy it while it lasts as they grow up to fast and its gone before you know it. Except in my house as I have a wonderful young man who has special needs and he’ll always believe!
There’ll be a lot of re-gifting at election time.
I gave vegan gifts this year!
@John Murray: And some compost starter material?
This year there’s nothing I want to pass on, however, in previous years, I’ve donated to charity shops. It makes me feel good and helps out those less fortunate. Prior to Christmas this year, I donated 6 big black bags of clothes and shoes to different charities, it makes me feel happy to think of my jumpers or coats keeping someone else warm and cosy this Christmas.
Was that phrase and concept actually popularized in Seinfeld? Dr Whatley gave Elaines present to Jerry and she said to Jerry: ‘Hes a regifter!’
have your say
