Have you ever returned or regifted a holiday present?

With Christmas now over for another year, I thought I'd pose this question. Have you ever returned a gift to the store or regifted one to someone else for another occasion perhaps? I've never returned one, but I have regifted especially if someone gives me a bottle of wine or box of chocolates. I tend to regift those to people who might enjoy them more. You? Do you return or regift presents? Do you think it's awful to do so?

i do regift too, especially if it's something i cannot or will not use. i.e. smaller or bigger sized clothes, perfume (i'm scent-sensitive), lipstick which is not my color (dark ones), etc. i'd rather have things useful to others than rot in my cabinet/storage.

Yes, I do re-gift. I make sure I am not giving it to someone who know's the original person who gave me the gift. I don't like to keep gift's, if I know I will not use it and someone else will enjoy it more.
