There you are, cash strapped, but rich in unwanted gifts. You've been worrying about not having money to buy presents this holiday season. Sharing all those extra candles you've received with others just seems like the enlightened thing to do. With the drastic downturn in the economy and the gift giving season on the horizon, many people may be tempted to recycle gifts they have received from others, a practice called regifting, especially when it's passed off as a new gift. Is that an okay thing to do? Maybe. Maybe not. Regiftable.com, a site from Texas-based Money Management International, offers guidelines on regifting. The company has designated Dec. 18 as National Regifting Day. To learn more, see Sunday's editions of The Post and Courier. |
