Here are some informal gifting rules that would give me a pause before regifting, she shared.
If the item is handmade or personalized, its better to not regift it, the expert continued.
If the item is not in its original packaging- I would avoid regifting.
My favorite tip is to make a list and to shop all year, she says.
Then, throughout the year, you could keep your eye out for that item on sale.
This spreads out the spending and gives you the opportunity to find the items on a great deal!
He looked at us and said, How did you know I was looking for one of these!?
He had no idea that he had literally told us what he wanted.
This is why its so important to take notes, and its never too late to start.
The expert also says that we shouldnt be too hard on ourselves when it comes to gift giving.
In reality- this can turn a time of giving and gratitude into a time of stress and pressure.
If you find yourself roaming the aisles of your local stores and you see an item and think Oh!
Gifting is a way to show someone you know them and that you care, she continued.
The cliche is true, its the thought that counts!
