I have a SAB set that I have from like 4 years ago, an extra that was never cut. I am putting together a basket of stuff for a relative that stamps and was thinking of putting it in there.
She I am pretty sure isn't aware of what is current or not, but does know that I used to be a SU demo. But I don't know that she even knows anything beyond that (i.e. what SAB even is, etc.)
Do you think it would be tacky for me to put that in there? Knowing it was from years ago and although not cut and still pristine, that it was free - or do you think don't worry about it?
Debating about it -- I would like her to have it because she likes to stamp but I don't want her to be offended, either.
I give extra hostess stamp sets to my friends/customers that I know they don't have as gifts for birthdays, etc..(usually along with something else) - they know I didn't pay for it but it doesn't make it any less thrilling for them to recieve new rubber to play with

If it makes you feel any better, people sell their extra SAB sets all the time, so even though you paid nothing for it, it still has value. "Free" doesn't necessarily equal "of no worth"
By all means - I have showered my leftover CM stock on friends for years now - whether I got it "free" or paid consultant price for it, it is new, unused, and something I believe they will enjoy. Wrap it up and let her enjoy the gift.
Just because something was free doesn't mean it doesn't have value! You earned it, and you are passing the benefit on to her. I'd love a gift set like that, even if I knew the person that gave it to me didn't buy it outright and it was part of her job, etc etc.
The basket sounds great. Enjoy giving it without guilt!
I think it would be nice for you to give her the set. I think an older set is often more valuable than a current set because you can't get it any more. There are a lot of older set that I would love to have and would consider a great gift, especially if it's unmounted.
Older SAB as present for a stamper relative?
