"   Gift-giving season is in full swing and chances are you&amp;#039;ve received a gift\u2014or several\u2014that you can&amp;#039;t use or don&amp;#039;t really want. So, what do you do with the unwanted loot? According to a Birchbox survey of 3,000 women, a whopping 49 percent of us will just re-gift the unwanted stuff rather than take it back to the store. The problem with that? You&amp;#039;ll have to lie when the giver asks you about the gift later on\u2014or, even worse, you re-gift the present to the same person.  Awkward x 1,000. So, what can you do to ensure that your BFF doesn&amp;#039;t re-gift the new clutch you gave her for Christmas? You can always just give her cash like 30 percent of survey respondents are planning to do\u2014but, that&amp;#039;s lame and requires zero thought. Our advice: Just discretely tuck a gift receipt in the box, just in case. Win-win. Tell us: Is re-gifting ever okay? Want more from Meagan? Follow her on Twitter.
