Today is Re-Gifting Day, the practice of passing on a gift you received to someone else. It's becoming more acceptable but remember to follow these tips:
– Update the wrapping from the paper that you already tore open.
– Keep track of who gave it to you first so you don’t end up giving it back.
– Don’t give partially-used gift cards.
– Don’t give something you’ve owned and used for a while.
– Check for engravings. Anything engraved is out of the re-gifting pool. -Ed
