Re-Gifting is in vogue

Americans admit their re-gifting ways

In a recent study released this week by a research firm Harris Interactive, it found that "78 percent of consumers who were polled felt that it was acceptable to re-gift some or most of the time."

I don't think many of my clients were surveyed because, when I see the clutter of gifts they keep but don't need or want, I know they are NOT among the re-gifters!

However, I do know many of us do offer a gift we don't want and give it to someone else as a gift. Sometimes, it's because we don't have time to shop for a gift (or lazy to go out and purchase a new gift), but usually it's because it's more suitable for someone else.

The "re" in re-gifting goes along with the "re" in recycling. How 'bout that! Better than having gifts create clutter, I say!
