I was first introduced to the concept of regifting by my best friend's Mom, when I was a kid. She was a teacher, and got a lot of very strange presents from her students. One day, she held up a wad of macrame and asked me what I thought it was. "Plant cozy?" I suggested.

"Wrong," she said. "It's a present for Aunt Louise, that's what it is. That will teach her to make fun of my fruit cake."

At the time, I was scandalized. (Well, sort of. I'd also met Aunt Louise.) Surely, when someone gave you a gift, you had to keep it forever? As far as I knew, you weren't allowed to just box it back up and pass it along.

Now, however, I've changed my mind. And not just because, as we get older, there seem to be many more Aunt Louises in our lives. If you regift thoughtfully - not a plant cozy for someone with a black thumb, for example - I think it's fine. I like to think of it as "green gifting."
