Surviving The Holidays #2 -- Regifting
Is it OK to regift? Sure it is. Just remember some important parts of regifting.
Do not give the item back to the person who gave it to you. This is incredibly tacky and can be too easy to do. Just make sure you are not giving it to that same person. Either put a note on the box when you get it (and know you'll never use it) or make sure you remember who you got it from in the first place.
Take out any gift card that may have come with the item. No one wants to get a gift and find there is a card in there from someone else.
Do not regift anything that looks shabby or used.
Do not regift something with an expiration that has passed or is very close; like next week.
You can put the item in a new box and you should definitely rewrap it.
We all get things we don't like, can't use, have too much of already and can give them to someone who could use them, like them and be glad to get them.
