Don't look if I've ever given you a gift
I often give gifts I have bought at a thrift store and/or found in a box on the side of road. Sadly some people think this is tacky/cheap/weird, etc. Usually I try to avoid letting others know about my second hand gifts, but who am I kidding, most people have probably already figured it out anyway. Below you see a very cute little purple teapot. It was so cute and only $3. Unfortunately it in no way matches my decor and I happen to have plenty of teapots already. (actually I have a ridiculous amount of teapots already) I decided I could get it and save it for a gift. However since I have just posted it on my blog I may have to keep it for myself now.

I don't think it's at all tacky to gift something that you found in a thrift shop. Seriously, that's a nice teapot. Why wouldn't you give it as a gift? Would it be any better if you paid $20 in a store in the same condition?
I have the same attitude about re-gifting. If it's something I can't use, but someone else would really like, why wouldn't I give it to that person?
Although you shouldn't be like one of my mom's (former) friends, who re-gifted something to my mom that my mom gave to her as a gift...
