Some might call you cheap or lazy.

But we think your meticulous cataloging of date, giver, and occasion is inspired. (How else would you ensure that you don't regift cousin Shelly the the skinny scarf she knitted you last year?)

Which is why we're sure you'll appreciate Regreet, kits that assist you and encourage everyone else to resend the old cards and track the mileage.

Each pack includes four cards (or you can use Hallmarks) and four hop-along kits (with supplies for the card's next journey).

The company was started by Christy Eichers of Minneapolis. She came up with the idea in early 2008 when she was cardless for an event in her hometown of Mankato. Luckily, her dad had just celebrated a birthday and everything took off from there.

So if the only thing on your fridge is a postcard from your best friend's trip to Asia, slap on a signature label and scribble away. ("I wouldn't trade you for all the tea in China. Happy birthday!") Put a journey label on the back so it can be tracked. Slip it in an envelope (with a hop-along, if you wish) and send it on its way.

Bonus: By re-carding, you'll get credit for saving a tree.

And what could be more thoughtful than that?

Regreet, $11.99 for a kit, available online.
