I only re-gift when there is no chance that the person who gave me the gift would ever meet the person I re-gift to.
For example - my sister-in law, who I love as a real sister, tanks out on good christmas gifts. Not because she has bad taste, but since she lives in another state, and we dont see each other that often, she doesnt really know my taste. One Christmas she gave me some beautiful picture frames - in gold. Well I tend to decorate in chrome/silver - so anything gold would totally clash. So a good friend of mine that I work with, had a birthday and I knew from being in her home that these picture frames would be perfect. They were all still in the original boxes (no price tags) - and along with the other items I bought her, she absolutely loved them...Even a year later, I see them in her house and in her office at work. So I dont feel "tacky" or whatever James said - just passing a beautiful gift that wasnt my taste on to someone who would want them.
