(OPENPRESS) HoneeBee Gifts will host Flip Your Gift, a one-of-a-kind event targeting those who love to find the perfect gift throughout the greater Charlotte region. The event will take place at Ashton South End located at 125 W. Tremont Avenue on Saturday, January 5th from 11a.m.—2p.m.
Did you receive a holiday gift that was nice, but not exactly the right gift for you? The Flip Your Gift event is a gift swap party, where attendees can exchange a similarly priced gift ($10 or more) that better fits their needs, wants, style and/or decor. "This is a fun event where you eat, drink and shop while mingling with some fab people. Plus, everyone has the chance to leave with a special present that they love and really suits them" said Simone McDowell, Gift Expert and Owner of HoneeBee Gifts.
In addition to the gift swap, The Boulevard at South End and J.T. Posh boutiques will have pop-up shops showcasing jewelry, candles and more from their respective stores. These items will be available for purchase day of event.
Guests will also enjoy complimentary wine, small bites and desserts by Hey Sugar Shop while exchanging gifts and shopping the afternoon away.
Guests who may be hesitant to attend a re-gifting party should remember these statistics:
• A whopping 92% believe it's completely acceptable to re-gift items
• 87% believe they too have been a recipient of a re-gifted item
• More than 62% plan to re-gift an item to a friend, neighbor or colleague for the holidays
• Women tend to re-gift more often than men (3:1)
