We're not sure why this needed to be studied . . . but at least Australia's tax dollars supported it, not ours. --Tullia Jack is a researcher at Melbourne University, and she found that if you wear the same pair of jeans for three months . . . they don't smell that bad. --Tullia had 30 volunteers wear jeans five days a week for three months without washing them. The volunteers spilled all kinds of things on their jeans, including tuna, avocado, motor oil, and chocolate. --After the three months were up, the volunteers gave the dirty jeans back to Tullia, and she SMELLED them. She said she could smell eggshells and caramel, but, quote, "The jeans don't smell socially challenging. They just smell like people." --Tullia is doing the study to challenge society's culture of "extreme clean" and save water by reducing the amount of laundry. She said, quote, "You really don't need to wash clothes as often as you think. Stains come and go. They just WEAR OFF." --About half of the volunteers had a rough patch between three and six weeks, where they didn't think they could keep wearing the jeans without washing them. --But they stuck it out, and some said they wanted to keep wearing their dirty jeans even after three months. Some even stopped washing their shirts and other items of clothing. --Tullia plans to put the 30 pairs of jeans on display at the National Gallery to let other people smell for themselves
Here is a list of items that are ok to re-gift....
The DVD you've watched 100 times. Slap a bow on that thing and it's good to go. If you ever want to watch it again, you can always pirate it online.
A gently burnt candle. Trim the wick so the black part isn't exposed and it looks like it's never been burned. Include a pack of matches if you really want to go all out.
Anything that you get in a gift basket or goodie bag. I am lucky to have the kind of job where we get gift packages on the daily. In fact, we just got a delivery of popcorn and sweets! Nobody seems to be interested in the cranberry-flavored popcorn, which means it's ripe for regifting. Other wonderful things I've regifted from goodie bags and care packages include: A charm necklace (still in the box). My mom loved it! Scented lotion. Eyeshadow set. A bag of coffee. A vibrator and lube (unused, obvs).
A book you only read once. The pages should be relativity uncreased. As long as you didn't spill coffee on it or smear grease on the pages, no one will know the difference.
Jewelry you never wear. Pop it in a pretty box and your regift secret is safe.
Clothing that doesn't fit. Just tell them you got it at a "vintage" or "consignment store." Make sure there are no rips or stains. This works only if the items are designer or an unknown brand, not, like, H&M.
Random bottle of booze. There's a mini-bottle of tequila sitting in our office kitchen. I think I'll slip it in my purse and put it in a box. Or, I probably have a random bottle of wine or vodka somewhere in my kitchen. Most everyone appreciates booze around the holidays.
Picture frames. Pop out your photo. Dust the sucker. Wrap it. Regift. Rinse and repeat with as many picture frames as you're willing to part with. If you really want to suck up, pop in a picture of you and the regiftee.
Tiny bars of soap and other bathroom samples. If you shop at Sephora, stay in hotels a lot, or are a beauty and bath product hoarder like moi, then you probably have a stash of bath and shower samples. Make a little basket of them for a substantial re
