Okay, okay we all know that the holidays can get expensive and that some people just love to re-gift those presents that they smiled and said "Oooohh, just what I always wanted....another fruitcake!" Ahem, please keep last years fruitcakes to yourselves..... Anyway that's not the point; the point is that re-gifting is appropriate when done right!
Here are four simple ways to keeps yourselves from embarrassment this Christmas.
First off, make sure that the recipient of your re-gifted item was not the person who gave it to you in the first place! Can we say AWKWARD?!!! Next, try to make it personable by choosing the appropriate item to re-gift for the proper recipient. If you get a box of chocolates please do not re-gift it to your diabetic Grandmother! Thirdly, please at least re-wrap the gift and give it a new tag. How tacky would it be for the recipient to read the original tag that says, "To my honey bunny, from your snuggle bear!" Lastly, and most importantly, DO NOT tell them you re-gifted, some things are better kept to yourself :)
Well, that's my first etiquette lesson. SO what did you think? Please post your funniest re-gifting stories or tips on how to re-gift in the least tackiest way possible!
And Remember folks, Keep it Classy, Not Trashy!
