Although not technically within the timeframe of ReGiftmas, an excellent example of the regifting concept can be observed in the movie Old School, where Will Ferrell’s character makes comical attempts to offload a breadmaker he himself received for his own wedding. The scene serves not only as an example of regifting, but also demonstrates the risks involved, such as the embarrassing act of unknowingly returning a gift to the original giver.

Legendary film actor Chuck Norris was an early proponent of the ReGiftmas holiday. As early as 1997, he was well known in industry circles for his habit of giving bottles of men’s cologne (received as promotional samples) to the cast and crew of his action films. Other celebrities with ties to ReGiftmas include Alicia Keys, George Lopez and Mr. T.
