Today, my extended family came over for Christmas. I forgot to get a present for my extremely sensitive aunt. I took a gift from my re-gift pile and wrapped it quickly. Little did I remember that it was the same gift she gave me last year. She noticed. FML

You should have played it off like you liked her gift so much last year, you decided to get her one too for this year

Should have gotten her some Sensodyne toothpaste. Heard it really helps with sensitivity.

This happened to me too! Except I gave them their gift back on purpose haha the best part was they didn't remember giving it to me and they made the same "thankyou" face I did the year prior haha ohhh priceless ;)

That's why I always keep spare gifts on hand. But hey, if it bothered her that much she isn't really into the true spirit of Christmas. Everybody makes mistakes and it shouldn't be a big deal.

Honesty is the best policy, not scheming to save your butt.

I never "regift" stuff - can't remember who gave it to me from one year to the next ! However, I do have a cupboard for "emergency presents" for when I'm reminded of somebody's birthday at the last minute... or for when a sensitive relative appears! Non-gender-specific, not too expensive, fairly neutral presents that I buy when I see them in the shops and have a bit of money left over, such as an interesting USB memory stick, a nice bottle of wine, a pull-along wooden train, a pack of pretty soaps or a variety pack of different types of cheese, mustard or biscuits, for example. Might be worth a try if your memory's not that great.

I have something as that as well! You're not always going to remember everything and it's really practical to always have some gifts around :)

It wasn't the vibrator from one of the earlier stories was it? But yes I thought why not just say it was so great you got her one and you had forgotten it was her who gave you the great idea of getting one - whatever it was, but then your just piling lies on lies, maybe best just make a joke of it!
