I’ve seen this frugal concept before and I think it’s worth repeating, about “regifting” yourself stuff you already have that maybe you aren’t utilizing fully, or of giving that “gift” of a reminder about this to others.

Maybe you have a musical instrument that hasn’t been played in a while, or someone else does and a reminder to them might get them playing it again.

In seeking for “new” things we maybe forget about things we already have access to that we own or other people own.

Have you tried this idea, like of making out a list, and regifted stuff to yourself or others, and how did it turn out or how do you think it would turn out?

    I do this on occasion. Off the top of my head I’ve gifted a German fermentation crock, hobbyist boardgames and a high quality shop apron.

    I’ve given away lots more used items but I wouldn’t present something as a “Gift” unless it’s in pretty new condition and I know the person well enough to know they’ll appreciate it.
