Getting Away With Re-Gifting
A friend of mine was so appalled to tell me the other day that her stepmom has re-gifted her with a beauty product that was obviously used. It had about 10% of it already gone from the bottle. While we advocate re-gifting, there is a right way of doing this without being tacky.
What items can you possibly regift without looking too cheap for doing so? Here are some suggestions:
Check your kitchen. I am pretty sure you have a box or two lying around with an unused bowl, plates or glasses in it. These are great gifts to give to neighbors or married cousins. Just make sure to clean and dust off the box and put a pretty bow on it and you’re good to go.
Give away old books. If you have a book reader friend, books, no matter if they are used, would be perfect. I know a lot of bookworms who still hunt second hand thrift stores for treasured finds, so I know they wouldn’t mind getting second hands. Give them five of each, they will love gorging on it.
Gift vintage accessories. And by vintage we mean those necklaces and beaded bracelets found in your cabinet. The older they are, the better and the fashionable and trendy they will look. Best persons to give this to? Young 20somethings who know their vintage fashion.
Wine is always perfect. Since they age well when stored for years, it doesn’t matter if the bottle has been in your stack since 1973. Also, it’s the best one to gift if you are running out of ideas to give someone.
