sans gift

Without present, nothing to give, broke, etc.

This year I get to go through the holidays, sans gift.

universal gift

When you go shopping high and you end up with something completely useless yet can't return it and don't want to throw it away so you save it and gift it.

Peter: whatcha gonna do with that post-christmas gingerbread house kit? Gary: keep it as a universal gift for someone like my grandma or cousin next year. Peter: ya, I regifted one of those this year to my teacher. Gary: Nice.

gift block

v. When someone convinces someone else not to give you a gift, especially when you did, in fact, want a gift; similar to jock block

Your mom: Oh, he doesn't need a gift. Save your money, buy yourself something nice. He would want it.

Gifter: Ok, if you're sure...

You (quietly): Oh... I've been gift blocked...

Gift Giving Anxiety

The anxiety of the time between purchasing a gift and giving it to the intended recipient due to worrying about whether or not the recipient will like the gift.

I bought a tacky wolf shirt for a friend but in the month before I gave it to him before his birthday I had a horrible case of Gift Giving Anxiety.

green gifting

When buying for older people on your shopping list... Get them something you would like.... There's a "chance" you might get it back in a few years.... (when they die)

Helen, I'm green gifting mom those earrings we looked at in Tiffany's last week. I can't wait to wear them to her funeral.

Revenge-Gift

The gift you or your children give after receiving a crappy present, particularly at Xmas. OR

Gifting someone a totally inappropriate present, because throughout the year they have continually pissed you off.

I think we need to revenge-gift Sammy for his birthday after he gave the kids those drums, cymbals and horns for Xmas. OR

I think Jim needs some little blue pills as a revenge gift for his 21st after what he did at mine.

Gift Shifting

The act (often by a husband) of shifting the timing of a previously planned gift to coincide with another event or holiday in order to either a)avoid being totally giftless or b) avoid double gifting

Jon gave his wife a bike on Mother's Day thereby Gift Shifting from his planned summer purchase.
