Re-Gifting for a Cause

What Do You Do With Unwanted Gifts?

Sad

I'm a big believer in karma - what we do evenutally comes back to us in some form. So when I get a gift that I don't need or use, I am tempted to "give back to the cosmos" in the form of re-gifting. Ahem...

However there might be a better way: Join a Freecycle Group (TM) and re-gift all unwanted trashy treasures for a cause. Freecycle is the largest recycling and reuse website in the world with a network with over 4,000 groups and 4 million members. Membership is free, you sign up online and post what you want to give away (or something you are looking for). Freecycle is all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of the landfills. It helps reduce waste and conserve resources while enabling members to give (and get) stuff for free. And this way you'll never make the embarrassing mistake of re-gifting to the original giver.

Remember, your trash could be someone's treasure..... Ho ho ho.
