Regift without Qualms



Also from All You

As long as you follow some basic rules, regifting is thrifty and acceptable.  And, it's a popular practice - more than half of Americans say they've done it.

It's a Good Idea when:
  • You know the Item will be appreciated
  • It's brandspanking-new
  • It's an heirloom you're passing along for sentimental reasons
  • You're playing a white elephant game (where everything is regifted)
  • You've taken the time to re-wrap it

It's a No-No when:
  • You don't think it's a nice gift and would never want it yourself
  • It has been even lightly used
  • The gift was made or customized for you
  • It's still in its original wrapping, or you've left on the old gift tag.
  • You give it to someone in the same circle as the original giver
