How's your gift-giving etiquette?

Here's a great little self-test from Kiplinger on gift-giving etiquette.

Test Your Gift-Giving Etiquette
When giving or receiving this holiday season, there's a right -- and wrong -- way to go about it. For example, is it okay to re-gift? Do you know how to handle an unexpected present? Is an e-mail thank-you note acceptable?


I regret to say I only received a 60%, which in most schools means failure. However, I don't mind re-gifting -- it wouldn't bother me if someone re-gifted to me, and I think it's fine to send unusable things on, so long as they are still in their original packaging -- and I always gift my boss a gift. I give the same thing to my boss and co-workers (when I'm working), which is usually just a tiny box of chocolates, or a card for a free latte with a card. Regardless, it was fun to see what was there and how others scored. Enjoy!

Great Blog,

A few weeks ago you posted about a Volvo mechanic who was fair and skilled and who came to you . . . is there a way I can find out how to contact this person?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

The mechanic works for a company called the Swedish Connection here in Tucson. For his privacy, I won't put his name or phone number up here but you can certainly find the number in the Yellow Pages.
