re-gift

re-gift是动词，所以出现re-gifted,re-gifting。圣诞节临近，人人在准备礼品，这个词也常常听到。人们开始把自己以前收到的，不喜爱的或者用不上的礼品转送给自己认为合适的人。听说居然会出现收礼的人发现收到的礼品是自己以前送给对方的，真是笑话百出，商家也不赞同这种做法。也有人把re-gifting作为一种送礼的艺术进行传授。
“礼品转送”是我现在想到翻译。大家有没有更贴切，更好玩的译法？

借花现佛
这也许不贴切，但有点 "好玩", 又带点讽刺吧。 不过本人认为 re-gift 不错嘛! 又省钱又 "废物" 利用。如果收到礼物的人喜欢那份礼物，那又何不是皆大欢喜吗??? 这里有没有人有 "废物" 可以 re-gift 给我??? :p
