Nope. Perfectly fine to re-gift. Just don't tell the people you originally received the gift from. That's basically saying "You don't know me at all and you're crap and buying gifts". Which is true but...

Nothing wrong with it. I got a stack of aftershave for my 21st - some to this day I have still not opened. I gave away a good few of them to the 21st's I was invited to after mine. Re-gifting is fine provided it's not opened/damaged and something that the person receiving it will make good use of.

one of my mates gave me a pillow cask of cheap wine when we finished high school for a laugh, all wrapped up like a birthday present.
i gave it back to him as a christmas present. the following year i got it back in the mail. we've been sending it back and forth each christmas for the past 20 years, still has the same wrapping, never been opened

do it all the time and i am sure people do the same to me.
Once a gift given to me and i passed it on to somebody else, did the entire 360 and came back to me through some other person after 12 months.
Fuck tells you how crap the gift was that no one liked it.
I wonder how many times the piece of shit was re-gifted.

I generally don't re-gift per say, but if there is something I don't use and I have a visitor or friend that I think might like it, there might be a situation in which I give it to them. Generally not as a gift though, more as an "oh, I have one of those. Here, I don't need it" kind of situation.

Last year, I attended a friends' Christmas party where many groups of friends were represented.
Not everyone knew each other, meaning a secret Santa gift exchange wasn't feasbile.
So, they played "White elephant gift exchange" .. basically;
1. wrap your gift
2. place under tree
3. from a hat, draw a number, which indicates your position in the queue for selecting a gift
exchange:
1. #1 person selects a gift unwraps and describes to the audience
2. #2 person decides whether to steal #1's gift or choose new wrapped gift
3. #3 person as above (can choose to steal either gift or select wrapped gift)
.
.
n.
caveat >> we were told to bring the worse gift you've ever received and kept; apparently a gift has been going around this party for years.
Also, the best number to get is the last one ... that number can choose from all the opened presents and the final one under the tree
Game goes a very long time with a lot of people.

I do it all the time, especially with things like raffle prizes I win via things like my Rotary Club. I swear I was at a meeting of another Club once and won a door prize and it appeared to be a bottle I'd won and donated on several months earlier somewhere else (similar to Zee's experience above). Wine is a classic re gifting gift.
The danger of course, is the de-gift. I'm sure it happens occasionally.
Of course Seinfeld has covered this issue...
