While
not listening to "Big Earl 96.3" today, I heard an interesting fact on
92.5 Joe FM. Apparently, 34% of all gifts are actually re-gifted presents. To get a better picture, tihs means that 1 out of every 3 presents sitting under your tree right now once sat beneath another tree or was an unwanted gift. But hey, it's the thought that counts right?
As a result, I've come up with my "Top 10: How to tell your Christmas present was re-gifted" so that you may retaliate appropriately.
10. It's a 2004 limited edition item.
9. The gift is only half wrapped - or half opened.
8. Your parents tell you Santa is into deficit spending.
7. The giver has never heard of Christmas Carol.
6. When you register your new gadget with the manufacturer, they tell you it has already been registered.
5. The box of chocolates has a Halloween themed cover.
4. You got an iPod Mini.
3. The gift is from a fellow University student who is at least in their second year of deficit spending.
2. You give a gift to a friend on the night of Christmas eve and surprisingly, your friend comes back with a gift on Christmas day.
1. The gift card says: "From Dickson Wong".
Now that I've established myself in gift forensics, I'll be sure to carefully examine my gifts this year. Be forewarned ;)
