Regifting is a topic I blogged about last year, and it’s still a great idea, especially since many of us are focused on being frugal and green this year.
What is my definition of regifting? It’s breathing new life and purpose into something that you’ve received in the past by wrapping it and giving it as a present to a friend, coworker or family member. The receiver never has to know that it wasn’t purchased specifically with them in mind. As long as the gift is thoughtful and is a fit for the recipient, it’s a wonderful way to clear your space and spread holiday cheer. There’s even a National Regifting Day – December 17th. Mark your calendars!
Regifting is not about giving away an item that you consider to be worthless or junk. That is called “clutter passing.” The only appropriate places for those items are donation centers, recycling bins, or the trash.
