Regifting. I particularly find them useful for Secret Santa stuff.

This week's [Autosave is for Wimps] trawls over the once-popular trend for 'regifting' freebie electronic tat that you picked up at an IT conference. A colourful episode featuring Michel Blanc, Yello and melting nazis. autosaveisforwimps.substack.com/p/what-to-do...

What to do with those rubbish IT gadget freebies you’ve been given? Well… Christmas is coming!

It’s enough to turn your friends and family green with, er, something

Since it’s both Rosh Hashonah and National Poetry Day, here’s a poem I wrote last year.

In The Home Goods Section Of A Texas Marshalls In November 2023

Christmas is all around us and
I am shopping for my loved ones who celebrate

On a shelf
In a corner
At the back of the store

Are two menorahs: one black and angular, one gold and curved

A woman who looks like
every girl from my Hebrew school is considering them

I joke at the inequality of a whole store full of red and green
and two not even that pretty menorahs
is all we get

But I am clumsy with my words
and under my N95, she can’t see my smile
only my blue eyes
and the red and green in my cart

She jokes about being Jewish louder now
I encourage her, but suddenly remember
                                                                                 *עם ישראל חי
no longer lifts like a chorus but instead
these days
lands like a bomb

it’s not my blue eyes or
the red and green in my cart
that puts distance between us
but our cousins regifting the worst of our inheritance

*Am Yisrael Chai, “The People of Israel Live

Do you find it used by the giver or the recipient more often? I think the only way I would use it is if I were regifting something.

I’m open to regifting! But some of them look quite happy with the surprise as is 🐮

HPV is the gift that keeps on regifting

Oh, I thought it would be something like "I got it as a present from someone I don't want to offend by regifting it" 😀
