     Giving an unwanted gift you received to someone else (regifting) is not considered as unacceptable
as in the past. Many Americans begin to regift and they think that regifting is okay most of the time. But
what should you avoid when regifting?
     First of all, a gift card hidden in a gift box can easily get passed along in error. Therefore, take the
card out of the old packaging, buy a new one and take a little extra time to make the packaging look
fresh and attractive.
     Secondly, people like to believe the gifts they receive are chosen with thought and consideration. If
you tell someone that the necklace you are giving is the one your aunt gave you last year, what you are
really saying is that you are giving them something you think is ugly or useless.
     Thirdly, there is a big difference between regifting an unused gift and one that you have used just for
a short time and decided you no longer want. Remember, a regift is a new thing. A hand-me-down is an
item you've used and offer to someone else when you decide you no longer use it.
     Most importantly, avoid giving a regift to friends who originally gave the gift to you. If the regift is
given, you risk getting caught for giving it away to the person who gave it to you.
     In a word, regifting is a wonderful way to save money and when it is done with thought, we can
achieve the goal of why we are giving a gift to someone in the first place - because we want them to have
something they will enjoy.
