Answer:
You choose and buy someone a gift. You give that gift to them. They look in your eyes and say "thank you". It's a moment of love or friendship that has been banked, the bond has been deepened.
So does it matter what happens afterwards to the gift?
In other words, was it about the gift or was it about the moment? If it was the moment, then it should be OK, even a big plus perhaps, to pass the unwanted gift on to someone else and create a new moment.
While re-gifting issues can happen at any time, Christmas is the time that brings it all to a head, because so many gifts are flying around and it makes more sense to dip into it than at any other time.
