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:

  1. Is the gift regiftable? Never regift handmade or one of a kind items.
  2. How's the condition? Only new, unopened gifts in good condition please.
  3. Is this going to work? Only regift items to people who are not likely to see the original giver.
  4. Do you have good intentions? Don't just give to give a gift. Be sure that the recipient will appreciate the item.
  5. How does it look? Gift bags in good condition can be reused, but wrapping paper is a one time thing.
  6. 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.
