    A gift isn't about how much or how little money you spend. If it would suit her, then give it to her!!

    I don't think it's about etiquette. I believe it's more about being thought as a "cheap skate" more than etiquette. Sad that people would worry more about how people think about them then how they feel about themselves.

    I agree it's ok to re-gift. If it were something spent big bucks on because it was an antique/vintage item it would be ok. Like ninerbuff said, if it was a used car it would be ok. So why not a purse.
    I think as long as it looks nice and does not have any strange odors or anything why not. Stick a note inside that says "I saw this and thought of you." Then wrap it in a pretty bag.
    Oh and I think it's an old superstition or something. My grandma and my aunt would always put at least a few coins if not a couple of dollars in a purse before giving it as a gift.

    Another point...isn't it the same idea as buying something at a vintage shop? People love vintage clothing, jewelry and such and that has been used before too.

    Point of interest: I'm not sure if the 'Wallet Rules' apply to purses, but you never give someone an empty wallet as a gift. Always put at least a dollar bill in it.

    Hell, I'll take it if you decide not to give it to her! I'm a purse addict!! But, where are my manners?? Re-gift. Trust me, she'll be happy with it.

    i would definitely gift it to her. clean it up really nice, maybe spray the inside with febreeze.. stuff it with nice tissue gift paper to shape it, and wrap it! :)

    Follow the "rules of regifting" like someone else already posted. If it's still got the tags and the two people don't know each other, it's okay. Otherwise, buy her something and donate the purse elsewhere.
