| Let it go. It's the thought that counts, right? |

| let it go dont worry, like the saying goes. Never look a gift horse in the mouth. Dont take it offensivly. Just think, i got a blender and if shes a good friend you'll be happy she didnt spend money on a gift for you. Hey my friend gave me 30 bucks for my wedding, last week. I dont care, the gifts dont count. ;O) |

| If you want the mixer, keep it. If you don't want it, regift it. In other words, let it go. |

Just let it go. it happens a lot. The only thing you will get out of saying something will be negative.  Of course I would never regift an item. |

| I would keep it if I needed it and trade it or re-gift it if I didn't need it. Maybe she is having money problems or something that she didn't feel comfortable sharing but wanted to do something for you anyways. Saying something to her could embarrass her or cause problems with the friendship so I wouldn't worry about it too much. |

| Regift something to your friend for her birthday. Or, better yet, regift the mixer back to her! |

| Nothing wrong with re-gifted gifts. Occasionally I get re-carded cards! Tell her thanks. |

| If it's a good friend, I would probably tease her about it by giving her the box with the card from her to you and the original card in it for her birthday. But that's kind of mean. If you like the mixer, send her a thank you note and go on! |

| This happened to my husband and I for Christmas one year. We were given a toaster from Target from his sister. In the box was a gift receipt. Since we already had a toaster we liked, we went to return it for something else. The customer service agent told us that we could not return it because the gift receipt was over 90 days old...about the time they got married. It would not really serve a purpose to say anything except to embarrass your friend. If you like the mixer, then keep it. If not, sell it on eBay (like we did with the toaster!). Traditionally, re-gifting is tacky. Usually, if you give away an item that you received as a gift, you tell the intended receiver that you have no use for it (or whatever) and you thought of them. You do not give it as a gift.But consider the higher costs of living nowadays. Maybe the person really wanted to give you something and just didn't have the money to do it. My advice, send a thank you note! (you could always re-use the card you found in the box! LOL...j/k) |

| Do you like the mixer? If you do, keep it. I know it's a little hmmm, embarrassing, but maybe the person who gave it to you had financial problems and ..well...did the regifted thing. Or maybe they had 2 or more mixers and though they don't need them all.It's embarrassing, though...But don't mind it! |

| Yes, she clearly regifted. But if you needed that gift, who cares? I just say forget you ever saw the other card inside and take the gift for what it is. |

| I don't have a problem with "re-gifting". Would it make more sense to sell the original mixer then take the money and buy a new mixer to give? No. Re-gifting is fine...I would give her the card back though... |

| It sounds like a great gift. You can either keep it if you need it, re gift it or try to exchange it. Regardless, the thought behind it is what counts. Maybe she thought you could use it more than she. Maybe she wanted to give yu somehting and was short of money. |
