Is Regifting Wrong?

Welcome back!

An interesting topic came up within my group of friends today, as it was learned that some of us (not me!) are avid regifters. I was quite surprised to learn of this, as I had always considered it bad etiquette to “regift” a present, and was surprised that my friends were so straightforward in admitting they do such things. However, once they explained their reasoning - that they regift items they don’t care for as not to be wasteful - it did sort of make sense. I mean, is it not better to thoughtfully regift an item that you know someone might like, rather than let it sit in your closet gathering dust? It does sound like the more environmentally friendly thing to do, as reusing an item is better than buying a new one.

Personally, I think I’d be too afraid of being found out, and I am probably too sentimental to give away gifts that a friend or family member spent time picking out, however I no longer see regifting as a bad thing, as it clearly does have some benefits.
