Recycled Gifts !?!

Ha, not nice at all and ugly if you're caught! Seriously if you don't have time to buy a gift, just send a card. I have experienced this and it's insulting. I'm talking recycled from the bag, the bow, down to the tissue paper...clearly it was taken from the bottom of the closet or some dark hole in the basement. No, no, no! When the packaging on the gift has been previously opened, the box has water damage and the jewelry is tarnished, just back away and throw the items out. Don't present that to a friend, especially one that's detailed oriented and in the fashion/retail business where presentation is key. Oh and the worst, never leave the name of the person, the gift was originally intended for, on the recycled gift. (Oh no, say it isn't so!) Now let's recap, if the merchandise is not in the original (perfect) condition of purchase, do not give that to someone else, and if you don't remember what it looked like originally, meaning jewelry in a box, then you've had it too long. Again, send a card.    Are You Serious?
