Reuters reports that a Consumer Reports study has found that regifting is on the rise. If you want to be green you could call it gift recycling. The study found 36% of Americans have recycle a gift. This is a steady increase from 31% in 2008 and 24% in 2007. Reuters says the study found the most likely regifters are women, adults under 55, people who live in Western states and people with children under the age of 12. The people with kids under 12 category makes since because they may have received toy gifts they already had an don't need.
