Are you regifting this year? Here's a list of the top 10 items people pass on to other people.
The key to regifting is the packaging. Check out these items that will make do when time or motivation to shop is low. (But come one, at least make it pretty with a bow or something.)
10. BoozeThe key to this gift is it has to be new. A bottle of liquor, whatever it is, is fine as a gift as long as it hasn't been enjoyed yet.
9. Gift cardsA gift card! Hey, we'd call this hitting the regifting jackpot. As long as it's not expired...or to a store you'd never go to.
8. FruitcakeThat's just wrong. Don't regift fruitcakes. Use them what they're made for: the trash.
7. CandlesIt would be nice if, instead of worrying about regifting, the habit of giving candles was put to a stop. If you don't know what they like, get them a card. And a gift card! No one wants these candles.
6. CookbooksCookbooks are kind of in the candle category, unless the receiver is known to experiment in the kitchen.
5. JewelryIf it's something just not your style, clean it up and regift away! If it's ugly as sin...don't do it.
4. Picture frameAnd you can fill it with a picture of the receiver and it's personalized!
3. Gift basketA great regift, as long as nothing's expired.
2. HousewaresHousewares can be great regifts as long as you personalize it and dress it up with some nice wrapping.
1. ClothingAccording to many surveys, clothing is the No. 1 most regifted item. Probably most often the oh-so-awful holiday sweater.
