Podcast Shownotes

Regifting isn’t a crime, it’s common sense. In this bite-size Money Brew Christmas mini, I unpack how to regift with class and zero cringe. You’ll get three simple etiquette rules, a quick story, and a reminder that thoughtful doesn’t have to mean expensive.

What you’ll learn:

Why regifting can be smart, resourceful and sustainable

The 3 golden rules:

Never regift to the original giver

Only pass on new, unused, great-condition items

Add a small personal touch if you like - wrap nicely, include a note or chocolate
