...to sell or regift a wedding gift?
One is a big box of wine glasses. I hate wine, Phil is epileptic and can't drink it. I've never had a glass of wine in my life and don't care to, nor will I be hosting parties to drink wine that I hate and can't afford. The box has been taking up a large portion of space in our pantry for over 2 years.
Another is a salad serving thing. It's hideously ugly (to me, probably a pretty keepsake for someone else) but was pretty expensive (it's coated in silver or something special that is just a pain in the ass b/c it has to be cleaned/shined with special stuff). This is also in a large box taking up space in the pantry.
I have no idea who gave me wine glasses. My uncle gave me the serving set (he's the rich type who will ignore your gift list and buy something flashy like that to show off) and I see him maybe twice a year, never in a context where I would be carrying around expensive servingware. I appreciate the sentiment but why not sell it to someone who has dinner parties and thinks fancy servingware is fabulous?
We are not the wine-tasting-silver-servingware type people, we order pizza or BBQ and drink beer.
Everyone gives wine glasses for wedding gifts-when they can't or don't want to think of anything else. Sometimes you can put candles in them-votives or tea lights.
Neither one is something you could give to charity either
Did you send them thank you cards? That would lessen the guilt a bit
If you were on the right continent I would say send the glasses to me. My drunk friends keep on smashing my wine glasses....
if only i didn't already have one!^ I hope it isn't too. Hay guyz, who wants a bread machine?
Try smashing the bottle on his head when he does that again. Might save some glasses!
No not the bottle, that's got the wine in it!!!!!!! Anyway, the joys of living in a house with ceramic tiled floors, glasses don't bounce....
