Top 5 ways to regift without getting caught
Thinking about reducing the clutter, but feel too guilty to throw out that brand-spankin' new Christmas present with all the used wrapping paper? Maybe you should regift! After all, one man's trash is another man's treasure, and landfills are full enough as it is without your discarded copy of Hostel II.However, unfortunately your Aunt Mildred may not share your "eco-centric" justification for passing along unwanted presents. Therefore, keep in mind these fives tips so you can regift without getting caught:
- Don't regift anything that's going to expire -- for obvious reasons.
- If it's out of style, you missed your chance. Give it to Goodwill, not to your brother-in-law.
- Not to be obvious, but don't do anything stupid -- you can't regift corporate giveaway items, or stuff that's been monogrammed with your initials.
- Re-wrap items you'll be regifting -- tattered paper is a dead giveaway.
- Pay attention. If you inadvertently regift an item to the person that gave it to you in the first place, you'll never live in down.
