Random Best Gifts to Regift (15 items)

• 

  (#1) Gift Cards

  While some may see them as lazy presents, far more people love and embrace gift cards. Giving one to somebody gives them the peace of mind that, whatever they may buy with the card, it will be exactly what they want. And unless they're psychic, there's no way they should realize that it's a regift.
• 

  (#2) Books

  As long as you don't start dog-earring the pages or writing in the margins, books are incredibly easy to regift. What's more, they come with the added implication that you think the recipient likes to read. Even if they don't, who's going to admit it?
• 

  (#3) Electronics

  We all like our electronic toys and are very likely to accept one from a friend, even if it was originally gifted to them. After all, if there's any possibility this new machine will improve your life, why not take a chance on it?
• 

  (#4) Candles

  • Musical Recording

  Pleasant-smelling candles are the ultimate feel-good gift for whenever you don't know how to make somebody feel good. As long as you don't light it up once or twice before wrapping it up, you can re-gift just about any candle to just about anybody, and they'll be thrilled to bits about it.
• 

  (#5) Alcoholic beverage

  • Food

  By regifting alcohol, you're telling the recipient that you want them to enjoy the good things in life, even if they're not much of a drinker. That being said, don't regift alcohol to a known alcoholic, and don't even think of giving cheap alcohol as a present. No matter how much the recipient likes Bud Light, a six-pack with a little bow on top will only come across as tacky.
• 

  (#6) Novelty Products

  The great thing about novelty gifts is that, useless as they may be, everybody's in on the joke. If you regift somebody a Big Mouth Talking Bass or a talking Donald Trump doll, they'll likely chuckle right along with you, rather than throw it back in your face. Even if they never use it, the shared laugh would make this bit of regifting more than worth it.
• 

  (#7) Board Games

  • TV Episode

  The best part about regifting board games is, even if the person you gave them to doesn't play games (blasphemer!), they're bound to know at least one kid or kid-at-heart who does. One way or another, somebody's going to have fun with your gift.
• 

  (#8) Box of Chocolates

  • Musical Recording

  Most people love chocolate and are willing to take a chance with a variety box of them. Maybe they won't like every one of them, but they'll probably like most. Just remember to include the guide, because otherwise they might bite into something horrible, and nobody wants that on Christmas.
• 

  (#9) Bath Products

  Everybody likes to smell good and feel a little bit pampered, so re-gifting a bunch of bath products designed to do so will likely go over very well. Just don't sample any beforehand; that's kind of weird.
• 

  (#10) Artwork

  • Musical Album

  Pretty portraits, gorgeous photography, abstract painting -- whatever the expression, it's sure to make a fine gift. And if the recipient doesn't find it artistic enough for their tastes, they can always regift it to someone else who will appreciate it. After all, everything's art to somebody.
• 

  (#11) Perfume

  • Book

  Much like with bath products, perfume is a gift that will help everybody on their quest to smell wonderful. And if, perhaps during a Yankee Swap or even as a prank, you end up re-gifting it to a guy who would sooner roll around in pig slop than wear perfume, no worries. He's bound to have a mother or sister or girlfriend who would be happy to take it off his dirty hands.
• 

  (#12) Housewares

  Housewares get old and worn out fast, whether it's due to constant use or simply due to staying on the stove for too long. So most people would be happy to be re-gifted new pots, pans, utensils or any other form of house ware. If they don't need them now, they most likely will in the future.
• 

  (#13) Sports Memorabilia

  Not everybody loves sports, but enough do to make regifting shirts and balls bearing the logo of the local team worth it. And even if they don't care very much, they're very likely to know somebody who does, so they can just turn around and re-regift it, no questions asked.
• 

  (#14) Fancy Pens

  Despite computers becoming more and more of a thing every day (and pens becoming less and less of one) most people still love a nice fancy pen at their desk, in case they need to sign something into law on a second's notice. Even if they never use it for anything, it functions as a quick little status symbol that most anyone would be happy to possess, even if it as a regift.
• 

  (#15) Lottery Tickets

  • Musical Recording

  In many ways, lottery tickets are the ultimate "nothing gift," since the overwhelming majority of them are losers. So regifting them is almost a natural; if you're not feeling lucky, might as well pass these meaningless pieces of cardboard to somebody else. Beware though -- if you find out later on you regifted a million-dollar winner, you'll never be able to smile at yourself ever again.
