re-gifting is an American Tradition.

If it feels strange to you, don't do it. That feeling will come through in the gift or the gift presentation. She will be able to tell that something is up and will pester you until you confess, then it's way worse than if you just hadn't given her a gift at all.

Don't do it.

Re: Re-giving the exact same present you gave to someone else...
 

I'm not sure what new details to add. The bottomline: this is the first time that I want to repeat an idea that I already did for another girl; the current one will never find out about this (unless she somehow checks 2+2 OOT which would just be weird). My concern is that it seems less genuine (to me at least) to do this. But I've been thinking about it lately and the entire purpose of a gift is to give someone else some excitement/happiness (and please a girlfriend's friends...always very important), so as long as the gift accomplishes this, I see no problem with it. k good stuff, thanks for the responses.

Bottom line......My jokes suck.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

You said it was creative. So do the creative part, and if it feels contrived , forget it.

Re: Re-giving the exact same present you gave to someone else...
 

If it is something unique and personal, then I would be wary of re-doing the gift unless you are 100% positive that she will never know you gave the same thing to someone else.

Re: Re-giving the exact same present you gave to someone else...
 

can't you think of something similar, but different/better for this girl ?

the idea of doing/giving the same gift to your current gf as you gave to your ex is a little weird. wouldn't you want to create a separate memory rather than one linked to a past relationship? i am sure she would want that.

Re: Re-giving the exact same present you gave to someone else...
 

If you feel sincere doing this, then go ahead, if it makes things feel fake then spend time finding another gift.

Personally I did the same thing for places to go out on dates with my current GF. Things like the idea of going to the zoo or going to the movies for the 2nd but not 1st date just makes dating easier. I try to be original when I can, but being so 24/7 is impossible, I am who I am... Anyways she loved the zoo, but actually later found out that I had gone before, but she was still happy I had taken her.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?
