Holiday Office Party

'Tis the season to be jolly
And to enjoy a work party
Give a coworker a little extra cheer
By re-gifting a present from last year.

Regifting

It's just about time to start gearing up for the infamous office party that you and your coworkers look forward to each year.  Try regifting a present (that's still unused) to your Secret Santa, work party, or local charity.

• Secret Santas have become a popular gifting tradition in many offices. Save time and money by regifting a present that's still sitting wrapped in your closet to one of your coworkers who might appreciate it.
• Charities like Toys for Tots or the Salvation Army have taken the place of gift giving in many offices. Get into the true holiday sprit by regifting to those who aren't as fortunate as you.
• Throw a regifting party at your office or even with your friends. Make it a requirement to give something that you've been given and see what everyone comes up with.
