Re-gifting >>>do's and don'ts

When it comes to giving presents there's always a time when you might not want to make a purchase on an item or you simply feel you have something worth giving or maybe you are trying to cut down on your spending.
Have you considered Re-gifting?

Regifting: is the act of taking a gift that has been received and giving it to somebody else, sometimes in the guise of a new gift. 


Here are my tips on re-gifting

  • If you are taking on re-gifting as a full-time strategy to gift giving, its important to have a gift log, to keep track of gift received and from who, so as to ensure you aren't giving the gift to the same person >>> NEVER GIVE A GIFT BACK TO THE PERSON IT WAS RECEIVED FROM
  • Fairly used items can be re-gifted as long as they are still in good conditions, and of course the person you are giving the item to must have shown an interest in the gift item. It's always a good choice to announce it was re-gifted if item has already been used.>>>> WHEN RE-GIFTING ENSURE ITEMS ARE IN GOOD CONDITIONS
  • Items with personalized engravings, no matter the condition of the item should never be given to someone else as a gift. >>>> NEVER RE-GIFT ITEMS WITH PERSONALIZED ENGRAVINGS
  • As much as the re-gifting idea might be to minimize spending, spending a little fee on re-wrapping the item is an essential part of re-gifting. >>>>ALWAYS RE-WRAP ITEMS
  • You hate the ugly sweater knitted for you or the clutch made especially for you, that's not a good enough reason to discard of it, the items made specially for you would have been made with a lot of thought or effort put into it, so no matter how hideous. >>>>NEVER RE-GIFT A CUSTOM MADE ITEM
