There’s a reason Mariah Carey didn’t write “All I want for Christmas is more socks.” But hey, someone out there might want them. And you might actually like the smell of that candle they got.

Give regifting a chance at the St. Pete Elk’s Lodge next weekend. Last year’s haul included a pickle lover’s gift set,  pampering kits, a dancing party game and fake lashes.

It’s the thought, and lack of receipt, that counts.

There is no cover for Elks Lodge #1224’s Re-Gift Party, happening Saturday, Dec. 27 in St. Petersburg.
