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?

    Regifting to others just sounds a bit rude and a slightly impractical as well.

    As for myself, I believe I do that quite often. Maybe it’s partly because of my stinginess, but I feel guilty if I notice I left some object lying around without using it for too long. Feels like a wasted purchase. Anyway, I think “regifting” can be a very healthy habit more people should look into, but only towards oneself rather than others.
