Yes, yes and yes. Why do I? Because sometimes I get nice stuff that just isn't my cup of tea... but I know someone else who might like it better.
I'm also the "queen" of returns! DH is well know for getting "crappy" gifts and I'll return them in a flash. One year he got me a tin of popcorn! As soon as I figured out where he got it, it went back! DH says "Oh, I thought you liked popcorn." I always leave a list of present ideas for DH, this year I have a section on my bookmarks titled Renee's Wish List for him...all he has to do is order it direct. LOL!
I haven't. I wouldn't because I feel that it is cheating and it is wrong. Not only that but it misses the whole point of gift giving. I like to ponder what to get somebody and really put myself into it.
Last year my step-daughter "K" gave my step-daughter "L" a gift that she had received in a white elephant game at a Christmas party. It was one of those cheap ugly fountain statues that sits on your desk. It was covered in pukey angels too. K gave her the gift knowing how L feels about angels and knew that she wouldn't like it. But L was gracious about it all and promptly threw it away at home I'm sure. I felt bad for L and astonished at K for having the nerve to do such a thing.

Yes. Why not? As long as you do it to someone who won't run into the giver, what's the big deal? I'd rather do that than a return :)
