Use them as White Elephant Gifts! Also, don't regift to the person that gave you the gift.

I'm not sure about "etiquettes" of regifting, but I have a few pointers for making it go smoothly:
1. Check inside all boxes for cards or notes that the original giver may have slipped inside.
2. Make sure that the person you are regifting to doesn't know where it originally came from. This means regifting in small groups of friends is out because you never know if the person you're giving the gift to was with the person when they bought the gift for you in the first place.
3. Always make sure the gift is in new, unopened packaging. No homemade regifts, either.
Good Luck!

In general, I am against regifting. I think people should put thought and care into choosing presents and not just find something in their closet and wrap it. I think if a person receives a gift they don't like, they should keep it, throw it out or donate it, or if it is something that someone else will like, just give it to them for no reason at all. Like, "Hey, I've got a pair of socks that match your sweater. Would you like them?" rather than "Happy birthday, here are some socks that my great aunt gave me that I've had at the bottom of my sock drawer for a few months."

Regifting and etiquette don't belong in the same sentence. It's tacky no matter how people try to rationalize it.

I would say "don't do it". I have been burned by doing this in the past and I learned from that one embarassing time not to regift. Not worth it!

First, ask if any of your friends want any unwanted gifts. Say, "I got this [such-and-such] that I don't want/can't use/don't have room for, would you like to have it?" If no one wants it, give it to Good Will, a women's shelter, or other clothing-shelf type place. Otherwise, if you pass off the gift as something you bought, it might lead to an embarrassing situation!

NO ETIQUETTE REQUIRED. REGIFT IT BACK TO THE PERSON WHO GAVE IT

First you never ummmm give it back to the same person u got it from! Put it in the box in the closet with their name in pencil where u can see it so u dont make that boo boo. Two- NEVER ever give it to someone THEY know really well who will show thme what you got them! Be sure to give it so someone they dont know and never will know!!!! Wrap in entirely differnet paper! And if its personalized with YOUR name on it- your screwed! lol

I dont think of so. in case you dont plan to apply the $12 one then it is going to easily waste away. as long as its unused and in new condition, slap a bow on --Merry Christmas Grandma lol!

Most people re-gift, I feel it is good to find a home or place for a gift you feel is not for you. I think it is good etiquette's to re-gift.
