But we're talking about Christmas gifts because ossies are spending
about four hundred and ninety one bucks on Christmas gifts
this year. Thirty five percent admit to regifting. Gift cards
are booming, with food and wine and tech cards surging
up by eighty percent. So a lot of ossies actually
want gift cards. Yes, wow, So that that's a I
think they are great things. Bunning's gift card, you know, well,

gift cards. He got in there and get whatever he needs.

regifting because obviously I know that story that's with you,
that has gone on for so long. Do you remember
getting What did I get this year? I got this
dinner set which was I think it had I'd had
all this this writing like I think it was an

or whatever it's like for entertaining, but it actually had
someone else's name on the back.

we got in the present and go I'll get that Sarah,
I'd gone to someone else and come to me. So
my girlfriends and I we do the same thing now
with the the the Italian plate. I just put someone
else's name on the back and wherever we turn up
at Christmas at the plate turns up and I was like,
oh my gosh, he's got the plates a bit like yours.
We do that for a bit of a laugh. But no,

(01:55):
regifting is a thing. If you've regifted anything, well, mate,
you've been given something, you think, oh, I'm not going
to need this, so you pass it on.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
I regifted a little jam set, you know, little timber
cannisters that come with a three pack of jams, like
your jam My aid and plum. Yeah, yep, yeah, I
got that as a secret sent in one year, so
I decided that I'd regift it and give it the
Secret Center for someone else.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
How long does jam hold? It wouldn't have been going off.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I did double check the dates just to make sure.
I think I had about three or four weeks left.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Oh, you're so far. I love it, Steve. I mean,
I know Secret Sanders are the worst. That's a whole
other topic. I mean, I don't know why people do
the Secret Center, although I do know that there's something
that was given to h can see out here which
I can't really repeat, but it talks it's a book
about feeling grateful for small things. That was probably the
best gift I've ever seen. But he's trying to regift
