Do you have some completely useless item that just gets re-gifted within the family every year? We are making it official this year. Last Christmas, we got this really ugly paper mache' penguin with concert tickets taped to the feet. It's being returned this time wearing a necklace (in a much larger box than is really neccesary).

I have never re-gifted, but thanks for the idea.

I did it on purpose[:D], she was that annoying aunt that had to remind you of how much weight you have gained since the last time she seen ya[&:] she loves to put others down to make herself feel better..

My father actually gave me the same book two years in a row. Completely accidental, he just thought it was a really good book.

Rich - an idea to make it fun -- tape a few lottery tickets to it as it makes the rounds.

Every year since I could remember, my father gave my mother a gift in the same box, a 10 inch white cube with a red lid. The gift varied each year, but the box never did. It turns out it was the same box he'd given her their first Christmas together, and he resued the box each year, for almost 50 years until he died. That final year my mother build a bonfire and by herself watched the box burn.
