Free gifts & giving tip: Imagine them regifting it openly (step 5 of 9 from "The Three-Question Gift Test").

If they posted 'swap party — take what you want' and your gift sat untouched, would you feel embarrassed or neutral? Embarrassment means you bought for your ego — something that made you feel generous rather than something they need.

Neutral or 'hope someone enjoys it' means pass. Great gifts get used up, worn out, or kept. Regift comfort is a proxy for 'is this generic junk.'

You'll need

  • Imagined regift scenario
  • Ego check complete
  • Generic junk rejected
