The rules for re-gifting are:
- Don’t ever, ever re-gift to the person who gave you the gift. Ever. If you can’t trust your memory, store the gift with a note stating who it was from.
- Don’t re-gift to people who are offended by the concept.
- Keep the gift in the original packing, with tags on, if this is possible.
- Put some thought in matching the gift with the person. You wouldn’t give a CD of Christmas music to an atheist or a leather belt to a vegan.
Now go out there and have some frugal fun!
I’m totally fine with receiving re-gifted gifts. I’ve probably gotten a lot more than I realized; I mean, how would I know unless I happened to see it in someone’s home? I’m okay with used gifts, too. A used book? Sure! A second-hand picture frame or tea cup? You bet!

Exactly! Some items I have been re-gifted: A hand-knit 100% wool cable sweater, books, sentimental Christmas tree ornaments.
