This Facebook Marketplace Regifting Suggestion Is Probably a Bad Idea

Kristen Hawley — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 04:00:17 PST

Subject of a Facebook Marketplace email that found its way to my inbox this morning: "Need to regift? Find your friends by posting on Facebook Marketplace."

Sure, posting in an online forum is a quick way to find a home for unwanted gifts (or even pick up some extra cash), but posting in an online forum that alerts your friends after you've posted an item could spell disaster if you try and regift an item that was given to you by someone in your online social circle. Could you imagine logging onto Facebook (or, worse, receiving an email that your friends have posted using the Marketplace app) only to find that they're trying to regift or sell an item you gifted them?

The lesson here: if you're going to regift, stay off of Facebook Marketplace. In fact, stay off of Facebook all together. Even in an age of digital listings, try to follow the golden rule of regifting: Don't give something to someone if you know they'll hate it. Chances are, they'll have to regift it, too.

Great Geeky Gift Idea: Framed Prints

Kristy Korcz — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 12:00:38 PST

If the idea of hitting the mall for a holiday gift is getting you down, don't worry - Best Buy is not the only place to score an awesome present. If you've got a particularly picky geek on your hands, you'll probably want to stay away from buying gadgets, since figuring out the right tech specs and features can cause serious stress. Instead, why not gift them a geek-approved print, like this retro Star Wars travel print or movie-inspired poster, wall-ready and complete with a nice frame?

You can get custom framing done online, or even better - check out your local weekly Michaels' arts and crafts store ad for deep discount coupons. There's no shipping costs involved! Personally, I would be super excited to see the Hoth poster under my tree (hint, hint)!

Geek Tip: Gift Your Favorite Apps

GeekSugar — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 01:47:49 PDT

Apple just made a new upgrade to iTunes yesterday, allowing you to gift an app the same way you can with audio and video. Apps make a great gift, especially if you know someone who incessantly uses their iPhone's camera - gift them a nice little camera pack - or has a bad habit of texting while driving (tisk, tisk - use ShoutOut instead).

Find out how it works when you

read more. You'll need to agree to the new terms of service for the iTunes store, but once you do, just select the "Gift This App" option from the pull-down menu, then enter in the recipient's name and email address. You can even add a message for a nice personal touch. Me? I'm gifting Words With Friends to a few pals that are too cheap to do it on their own. Have you heard how addicting this game is?
