I do it with thought and intention. So to me it's not that I am just too lazy to shop. Also sometimes after I have bought something I feel guilty for spending the money on myself so I will "regift" it to my daughter because she and I have the same tastes! If I am regifting at Christmas, that person always received gifts I have purchased just for them, but then I will throw in one of those little regift items as just something a little extra. Sure would be sad if I thought someone would "give me a few choice comments."
No what you are talking about, in my mind, is not re gifting.......you overbought or impulse bought something for yourself, then on second thought gave as a gift to someone else.
