Four secrets to successful re-gifting

Updated

When is it okay to re-gift? Always! You just have to be smart about it so as not to hurt anyone's feelings or end up looking like a chump.

Let's be honest. Re-gifting makes a lot of sense. Sometimes we get nice gifts that we just don't like or simply can't use. What about a pretty sweater in a horrible color? Or the decorative picture frame that matches nothing in my house? Or the clever and useful kitchen gadget that will never see the light of day in your kitchen?

Why not pass those good gifts onto someone who can really use them? (Plus all the tree-huggers have got to love the idea of "recycling" gifts, no?)
