Would you get upset if you were Re-gifted? Re-Gifting is taking a gift you were given and giving it to someone else. Sometimes a Re-Gift is also known as a “White Elephant“. This dates back to Southeast Asian monarchs.

Rules for RE-Gifting

• RE-Gift only if you would want to receive the item – Unless meant as a joke.
• RE-Gift it outside your normal circles.
• Make sure you remember who gave you the gift so you don’t RE-Gift it back.
• Quality of a RE-Gift is important
• Remove all markings
• If asked, honesty is the best policy

There was a ture Urban Legend about brothers-in-law (Roy and Larry) who RE-Gifted Moleskin pants. They did it for 25 years, back and forth. Only difference is the idea around the wrapping. Creativity was the key. One year the pants were encased in a 1974 Gremlin. The packaging got more creative, but the game ended apbruptly in 1989 when the packaging – an elaborate glass sculpture – went awry and the pants were turned to ash.
