Gift Giving - is this tacky?
Permalink Closed

I bought a "grab bag" from Estee Lauder which was filled with makeup, skincare and fragrances.  There are a few fragrance sets - 1.7 oz perfume or cologne and a body lotion or wash, deodorant, etc that I was considering giving as gifts for Christmas since I am really low on money this time around.  Trouble is, they're not cello wrapped or in their original boxes, they're just the bottles, not sealed, but still not used.  I was planning on buying a little something like makeup bag or wristlette to put the sets in for each person but I am wondering, is this awfully tacky?  Will people think I'm giving away my own perfume or something?  Will they be skeeved by the fact that its not sealed?

I would like that as well, I would only assume it came from your personal collection if some of the product was gone.

I think it would be fine if you rewrap it or rebag it nicely.

It's fine as long as none of the products are used. I'd repackage it nicely though.

Little bags or baskets from the 99-cent store and some cutesy "trimmings" and I think it will be a great gift. I think craft stores sell shrink-wrappy cellophane stuff that you use with a hair dryer; it makes a very professional-looking gift basket.

Good idea! Love Suasoria's suggestions for repackaging in a nice way.
