Christmas 2021: any gift you have received you just don't like or are you sure you won't use it? Resell it online or give it as a gift to make someone else happy and earn something! What the British call "regifting”Is nothing more than the beautiful and good recycling of a useless gift, which is not right for us or of a duplicate.




A phenomenon that has its maximum peak, needless to say, after the holidays and that seems to appeal to more and more people. The holidays aren't over yet and there are already tons of them on the auction website Christmas gifts unwelcome put back on the market: from clothing and accessories (the bag causes an "unwelcome gift from my father" or the red watch received twice), to pieces of furniture and design, from household items to small appliances (like the unfortunate blu-ray box set from the first two seasons of Game of Thrones) and the numerous tech gifts (from digital cameras to smartphones) with the more recurring words “I sell due to double gift”.

The proceeds? Most “regifters” set aside their earnings to save, while others will reuse them to buy something new. More prone to saving are women, who set aside their pennies in anticipation of future expenses.

How to improvise regifter

1. Well, the moment has already passed, so we hope that you have unwrapped the offending gift as carefully as possible, without disintegrate the original packaging and showing infinite gratitude and devotion to the dear donor.

2. Before creating the ad on the web, do a quick search for check the selling prices of items similar to yours. The right price will help you get rid of the thing in question.

3. When you put the product online, click Photos clear and eye-catching, specifying that this is a brand new thing.

4. Clarity in Description of the object, the brand and various details such as color, size, versions and specifications are information that can make a difference.


5. Offer different payment methods, preferring safer ones such as PayPal.


6. Treat the packaging item for shipping, so that any fragile items are well packed and arrive smoothly at their destination.

7. Ship the items as soon as the sale is complete.

8. If you have more than one gift that you don't give a damn about, well you are a little unlucky but you can create a collection to inspire potential buyers and share it on your social channels or via email (but be careful not to include the people who gave you those beautiful gifts ...)

9. If you really don't know how to do it with technology and online sales, now in every city a flea market where you can sell your things: you don't earn a lot, but an extra euro in your pocket is always handy.

10. The right good thing would be to gift those gifts without getting anything out of it: a blanket? Give it to the first homeless person you meet. The double bag? The lady who does the cleaning at the mall would be happy with that. The blender? See if the old lady downstairs needs one ...


The most deserved gift to give and to receive? The one that puts warmth in the heart and nothing more!
