EVERYBODY DOES IT
Regifting has become popular enough that there is a web site, regiftable.com, that will teach you the do's and don't's. A survey by Money Management International last year found that some 40% of respondents admitted to regifting. The main reasons were to save money, time, or because they felt the recipient would like the item. Here are six regifting guidelines:
- Is the gift regiftable? Never regift handmade or one of a kind items.
- How's the condition? Only new, unopened gifts in good condition please.
- Is this going to work? Only regift items to people who are not likely to see the original giver.
- Do you have good intentions? Don't just give to give a gift. Be sure that the recipient will appreciate the item.
- How does it look? Gift bags in good condition can be reused, but wrapping paper is a one time thing.
- Can you handle it? If you don't plan to announce the gift as a regift, make sure you can keep the secret. Never feel guilty about it once it is done.
