Flip Your Gift

Gift expert Simone McDowell of HoneeBee Gifts has come up with a brilliant and fun idea that she hopes will take the shame out of regifting.

She's hosting an event called Flip Your Gift on Jan. 5 at The Ashton, 125 W. Tremont Ave. Guests can bring what she calls a "not-so-perfect-for-you" holiday gift and exchange it for something that suits them better (no gag gifts allowed).

To attend, you must RSVP at www.facebook.com/events/529044660453708.

It begins at 11 a.m. when guests will start registering their gifts (all gifts must be registered by 11:45 a.m.) From noon to 1 p.m., there's a gift exchange followed by a chance to mingle and network. Mimosas, wine, light hors d'oeuvres and desserts from Hey Sugar Shop will be served.
