IT’S BETTER TO REGIFT THAN TO RECEIVE

Tis the season where we often receive gifts that we have no earthy intention of ever using and wonder how anyone could consider buying such gifts. Yes I know that it’s the thought that counts. But what if the act of giving really didn’t take much thought at all. Take, for example, a coffee gift basket that your neighbor or Secret Santa got. They decide there’s not much use for the basket so now what? Well if they’re like Tim Watley of Seinfeld, and his Label Maker, there is only one option. The regift.

That’s right. Take a gift you got and regift it to someone else. I think at some point in our lives, we’re all guilty of it. But the one thing you simply must avoid is getting caught, right? You gotta make sure that your regift will leave no trace that your cheesy gift is actually a regift. Well, my friend’s neighbor didn’t cover his tracks.

My friend told me he got a coffee/cocoa gift basket from his neighbor. A seemingly nice gesture. But when he opened up the basket, the coffee mugs were already personalized with his neighbor’s names, “Kate” and “Matt.” Busted. So you see ladies and gentlemen, make sure you’re a Santa when you regift and cover your tracks. Otherwise, you’ll be labeled a Scrooge or worse yet, a regifter.
