| Description | Regifting has a long and honorable history. No doubt even ancient peoples did it, passing on to someone else a gift they didn't want or need. But the term itself is of recent origin--credited to a 1995 episode of Jerry Seinfeld's eponymous series.
Since then, regifting has literally come out of the closet. In an poll, 60% of women and 40% of men admitted to having regifted. There's even a "Gift and Re-Gifts" neighborhood on.
Even more respectable is the practice of regifting a cash award to charity. Most recently, President Obama said he'd be donating the $1.4 million Nobel Peace Prize to charity. |
