Re-gifting has been around for a very long time...We were married in '75. I received a ceramic pie plate from my cousin. She had been married the year before, but she forgot to take their friend's card out of the box...we also got a Mix Master from my aunt and uncle. It had been a gift at their wedding...in 1956! They also left the other card in the box. Oddly enough, I was their flower girl!!
