"regifting" news and stories

I am not much of a drinker. There was a time, about four years ago, when I could hold my own at a bar, but these days, a single beer or glass of wine makes me tipsy and if I go for a second, I am instantly ready for bed. However, for someone who hardly drinks, I have a fairly extensive collection of wine, beer and hard alcohol in my apartment. The bulk of the booze is leftover from my grandparents, who always kept a well-stocked bar so that they'd be able to serve guests their choice of pre- and post-dinner cocktails. The beer is from Scott's birthday party back in February (we need to have another party, in order to use up this stash) and the wine is almost entirely from potlucks and dinner parties I've hosted over the years.

The bottles of wine (which I now keep stacked three high under a built-in cabinet in my living room) have become my go-to source for hostess and party gifts. Occasionally I feel a little embarrassed about this re-gifting habit (and then I start to wonder through how many hands that particular bottle has passed) but I've discovered a new product that will allow me to inject a little humor into the wine bottle hand off. It is the letterpress tags you see above that were created by two women who were challenged by the task of finding good cards to go with bottles of wine. I'm a particular fan of the one that says, "Regifted With Love."
