Regifters

“maybe this is a start of something good then.
if you got a gift and you are not happy with it and it can not be returned, re-gift it here.”

“i have an extra tarantula...we have two of the same kind now...”

“i have an extra tarantula...we have two of the same kind now...”

“Send all your unwanted crap to Spirit Coyote.

.....especially bun warmers.”

“Correction send all your unwanted GEAR to spirit coyote :)”

“Mapleleaf, sometime when your boss is getting ready to send something out that you want, just ask her if you can take it. She will assume you mean to the mailroom, and you can claim that you meant take it home.

But if you get fired over it, don't blame me!”

“I am re-gifiting a Blockbuster gift card to my sis and bro-in-law.”

“I'll take all these gifts you don't want.

On a sad note, since I have been forced to gat a haircut today I'll need to get my hairdresser something. She's been doing my hair for 5yrs and always gets me a card.

Furthermore, the shop is right next to Leonidas, a Belgian Chocolate store, $20/lb. This is gonna hurt.

5-7 shampoo girl
15 tiffany
55 haircut
20 chocolate

Ya think I can give less than a pound?”

“Forced to get a haircut?”

“Bearmagnet, when she's ripping you $55 for a haircut, the only reason to tip would be to get in her knickers. When you're paying for this it's not known as a haircut.”

“LOL - it's not supercuts y2

Bit - I get a little crazy when my hair gets too long and out of control. Plus, I need to look purrty for NYE. It was the only opening when I called 2wks ago.”

“Ah, I understand exactly how you feel. I get the same way.”

“There's much midground between supercuts and a $100 haircut, esp for a guy with short hair ;op”

“Right. 55 is midground.

So, assuming I pay 55 for just the cut is $20 for xmas acceptable?”

“do you get to tuck it into her thong ??

the $20 I mean LOL

“I hate to tell you this bearmagnet, but if you pay $55 and you always tip $15, you're paying $70 for the haircut, throw in your tip for shampoo girl or boy, and $20 for chocs, then you're paying $100 for a haircut. You tip her $15 a time already, you don't need to get her a pressie.”

“you just want to be cooed over in the hairdressers.”

“Sometimes the correction is funnier than the original post. LOL @ manuka!”

“LOL!

Actually I tip 12-13 for the cut and @3 for the shampoo babe. I think that's standard????

BTW - the shampoo babe does this amazing temple/neck message. Sometimes I have to conscientiously control my leg from stomping”

“If my shampoo babe did that I'd have to bring a change of undies.”

“My dad regifted to me what I got him the year before. Don't know if he meant to or not?”

“You could paint it and start one of those crazy re-gifting rituals people get into that last for years.”

“I would hope the answer was "not"

Otherwise, consider saving it for next xmas.”

“regifting sucks! I have all my ugly gifts still up in the attic”

“I give stuff I don't want to the salvation army. They can sell it and use the money to feed and shelter people. I can't imagine sticking stuff away somewhere that it'll never be used or appreciated and it just rots. Let someone get some use from it!

And Bearmagnet, you should be able to find something better to do with your money. What are you a total prissy guy?! $100 haircuts?! Sissyman. I guarentee you could find someone to give you the same cut for $25. ;) Get her a $10 gift card for some lunch spot down the street from the salon. She's watching her figure and doesn't really want chocolates even though she does.”

“Different twist on 're-gifting.' My brother-in-law gave me a gift card for a bookstore that I dislike. I did buy a book and the balance on the card was applied to a purchase that included a gift for him.
:-#”

“i got a blue swiss army penknife from my secret santa at work . I already have a red one.


My six year old son had just lost a blue one we got him for his birthday. So I gave it to him.


I didn't do it as an xmas gift though . . . I would have felt guilty. So I just gave it to him.”

“I tell folks up front...spend the money on yourself or family or on those REALLY in need (I am only minorly in need). I appreciate the thought...a card or hug is PLENTY....if you give to me...and I didn't ask for it...major chance I will give it to a needy child at my school”
