LBB Gifting Expert at La Bella Baskets & Gifts (Temporarily Closed)

Gifting Tips! Re-Gifting: Regift: (verb) To give an unwanted gift to someone else; to give as a gift something one previously received as a gift. Although the word “regift” first came into popular use from an episode of “Seinfeld”, the concept of re-gifting has been around much longer. Is regifting acceptable? For those who think the practice of regifting as tacky - it is now a widely accepted practice and by no means implies how gifty you are, or are not. In a Harris poll taken in August 2006, 52% of the people surveyed reported regifting in the past and had plans to do so in the future. Seventy-eight percent of those surveyed said re-gifting was acceptable some or most of the time. Even the most recent edition of Emily Post's Etiquette has guidelines when it comes to regifting.
