10. And the award for last-minute gifting goes to: Re-gifting! This is the mother of all last-minute gift shopping. In fact, you barely even have to leave your house. But there are only two scenarios where re-gifting is okay: 1) if someone is in need of something and you happen to have, 2) if you’ve simply received the same gift twice and you decide to give the extra one to someone else, adding, “I’ve received two of these and I’d like you to have the other one.” That certainly adds a more thoughtful and personal touch, doesn’t it?
