NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) — Wrapping up that unwanted picture frame from last Christmas and giving it to someone else as a gift might not be as taboo as it once was, according to a study released Wednesday.

The survey of 1,505 American adults, conducted by market research firm Harris Interactive, found that over half of the respondents admitted to "re-gifting" with passing on gifts becoming a far more common and acceptable phenomenon.

In fact 78 percent of consumers who were polled felt that it was acceptable to re-gift some or most of the time.

Nancy Wong, a spokeswoman for Harris Interactive, said she was surprised by the number of people who admitted to re-gifting.

"It’s not something I’ve thought about and when I saw that nearly half had done it — 52 percent have re-gifted and or would re-gift — it’s quite a significant number," Wong told Reuters.

Hmmm, let me see here, this will stretch Smart Pastor’s creativity.  I got it….Jesus has given us life and we are called to give it away?

Or, stewardship, God has given to us and now we need to give back to him?

Any ideas?
