The holidays are fast approaching, so it’s time to scrounge through the presents you didn’t like from last year, and rewrap them for some other poor sucker. Don’t worry, it turns out you’re not the only one who does that. A new survey reveals that more than half of Americans regift.
But anyway, here’s the fun part. While the majority of regifters claim lofty motives - the gift was wrong for them but perfect for somebody else, etc. - a fair number are more honest, admitting they were just too lazy to shop, or they just plain don’t like the recipient. In the words of Tiny Tim, “God bless us, every one!” Here’s the story:
