Survey Says: A survey indicates that around 14% of respondents perceive regifting as an increasingly popular recycling method. Although it is recognized as an official holiday in certain states, it is advisable to exercise caution when contemplating the act of regifting. The very term implies that the item was initially unwanted, which raises the possibility that it may also be undesired by the next recipient. If you ever feel that regifting is becoming burdensome, it may be prudent to rethink your approach to it. Conversely, in some families, the tradition of continuous regifting is embraced and celebrated annually.

Is Re-Gifting in Style? Regifting is often perceived negatively, but it need not be viewed as tasteless or impolite. In our consumer-driven society, where the latest and most innovative products are constantly available, regifting can serve a more meaningful purpose. For numerous individuals, regifting is not merely a method of disposing of unwanted items; rather, it represents an opportunity to provide something that is genuinely needed, desired, and will be appreciated.

The Fruitcake: Notoriously, the fruitcake is the number one item to be regifted, even though it is food. Hmmnn!

Celebrated: The holiday is celebrated yearly on Thursday preceding Christmas.

A Few Facts:
I am sharing a few facts, and more, some trivia, some not trivial. . .

Tips & Pointers: What are some strategies to enhance the practice of regifting?

• Combine the item with a gift card.
• Foster a family culture that embraces regifting, agreeing that gifts should be handmade, repurposed, or previously gifted.
• Accompany the gift with homemade baked goods.

Some Items Regifted: Here is a common list of regifted items:

• Unused Handmade Gifts: Items such as knitted scarves, sweaters, and blankets can often become treasured possessions. Additionally, leather or woodcraft creations serve as excellent gift options.
• Books: Many individuals value pre-owned books more than new editions. Although authors may prefer new copies to be gifted, the essence of sharing a story often holds greater significance.
• Plants: If you are not inclined towards gardening and have received a plant, passing it on to someone who appreciates plants can bring joy to both parties.
• Duplicate High-End Items: It is not uncommon to receive multiple identical items, such as toasters or rice cookers, during celebrations like showers or housewarming parties. Instead of returning these items, consider gifting them to someone who will benefit from them, such as a new homeowner or a college student in need of kitchen essentials.
• Sets of Items: Collections such as wine glasses, coffee mugs, flower pots, and salt and pepper shakers are universally acceptable gifts. Since you may not have the receipts for these items, they can still bring joy to the right recipient.
• Family Heirlooms: Well-preserved family heirlooms can make meaningful gifts, provided they are given to someone who values family history. Consider gifting a framed family recipe, a piece of furniture, crockery, photographs, or artwork.
