Following on from yesterdays post about regifting, here's my ultimate tip to ensure you are never caught out.
Hold a regifting party.
1. Label each gift in your regifting stash with a value.
2. Gather friends and more importantly, friends of friends (remember the circles rule of regifting from yesterday?) Send out a sheet explaining what a regifting party is and why its a great night in.
3. Set up an area for each person to display their regifting wares.
4. Swap gifts of like for like value!
Now your family and friends will never know you have turned their unwanted gift into a completely new gift - saving you money! They won't recognise the gift, its a fab easy way to save.
You won't manage to shift all of your unwanted gifts so the next step to making sure you're not left with a cupboard full of stuff you don't want is the old faithful - Ebay.

I am an avid regifter of anything the MIL gives me as it is always tosh and she buys me stuff you would give your granny! Thanks for the comment over on The Mad House. I have another blog you might like www.athriftymum.com
