So Aaron...no need to worry about it...

I don't really worry. I alway try to gift cigars that the person has not tried. I don't send out many dog rockets. :thumbsup:

It was his to do with as he wished after you gave it to him... snip... Then again I would not be giving any more expensive gifts to this person.

Truer words have never been spoken.

There isn't much you can do, Your friend had little respect for you and your gift. He passed it on to someone else. There isn't anything you can do bro!

 

[doublerobusto]

A gift is a gift. Don't worry about it. If you give from the heart, then that's all that really matters.

 

[Headbanger]

I can be a pretty straight forward person so I would say something if it bothered me. If you are worried you will lose this friend then I would keep quiet and never offer anything as a gift to this person. If you are not concerned about the friendship or this person is someone you can talk to I would let him know your feelings in the matter. I am sure by posting here you feel better already.

The person that was given the re gifted item has nothing to do with the situation, I would not approach that person at all.

 

[dpmrpa]

I would say nothing. Its a gift. When you give a gift the giftee can do whatever they want with it. I would like someone stated make a mental note of it.

I'm generally with the guys who have said "a gift is a gift", so there is nothing you can or should do now. I guess my only question would be how "close" you are to the groom. If this guy was one of my two or three closest friends, I'd be really hurt by his decision to re-gift. In that case, I don't think I could keep quiet forever. It might take a year or more, but I'd do something to let him know that I knew of the re-gifting. If, on the other hand, this was not a very close friend, I'd let it slide.

Are you certain this was a re-gift? Is it possible that he was so impressed by your gift that he went out and purchased the same thing for his friend?

If not for the Seinfeld episode, this probably wouldn't be an issue for any of us.

Are you certain that the regift was the actual gift that you gave? Perhaps he liked what you gave him enough to buy the same for whomever he gave the gift to? Sorry, I tend to be a glass is half full person. Benefit of the doubt sometimes keeps me sane.

We must have posted at the exact same time.....Good thoughts! Do I owe you a coke?

 

[JMV]

I have to agree with the people who say that the person who receives the gift has the right to do with it as they wish, but the person who is giving the gift may be insulted if its re-gifted especially if they are aware it happened. Being that the person posted this question they are hurt by re-gifting of this wedding present so I think this issue needs to be addressed.

 

[cigarguy71]

Always keep it to yourself.

 

[rick12string]

It was his to do with as he wished after you gave it to him. Maybe he was strapped for money and had no choice. Then again I would not be giving any more expensive gifts to this person.

I would have to agree with lakeside on this.

 

[Saully]

I agree -- but I know I'd be really upset if it were me. I think I'd re-evaluate my friendship at that point, but probably say nothing. It just shows a lack of sensitivity on his part.

 

[coppereagl]

28 minutes later...... this is like reading a philosophy novel lol.

 

[Chip]

Once you give something it belongs to them. They can do as they wish with it. They are only responsible for thanking you for the gift intially. I would much rather a gift I give be re-gifted and used instead of sitting in a closet unused.

[daniyal]

I'd walk up to the guy it was re-gifted it to and say hey great looking widget you have there I gave XYZ the exact same thing for his birthday/wedding/anniversary.

 

[diesel]

I would light up a Churchill and say F'it.

 

[tazbigdog]

The guy hated your guts and is trying to provoke you into a fight.:riflefire

No, just kidding. I would let it go and not say anything, but remember the next time you decide to give a gift to him.
