"  This holiday season, 49 percent of women will be re-gifting. And while some may argue that re-gifting is totally eeew, I&amp;#039;d have to disagree. I&amp;#039;m 100 percent down with passing on an unwanted gift. #SorryNotSorry Lucky for me, a new study found that most people are completely cool with getting a hand-me-down present. The only times I ever re-gift is with certain items. Like, a perfume I&amp;#039;ll never use or a sweater I&amp;#039;ll never wear. Sometimes, someone gives me a bottle of wine I don&amp;#039;t particularly like or a candle I&amp;#039;m not that into. And if I&amp;#039;m never going to use these items, what&amp;#039;s wrong with politely accepting the item and then giving it to someone I knooow will actually make use of my gift? Nothing. I mean...obviously there are certain situations you probably shouldn&amp;#039;t re-gift for; like an anniversary, wedding, or baby shower. But if someone gave me an oversized tote that would be a perfect diaper bag for a stylish pregnant friend, you better believe I&amp;#039;ll have zero qualms about passing it on. Seriously, if the person absolutely loves the present you gave them, no f*cks will be given as to where it came from. And let&amp;#039;s be honest here guys. Some of us own too much stuff, so don&amp;#039;t be ashamed of a little re-gifting. Want more from Dara? Follow her on Twitter @dadeeyo. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
