TORONTO (ON) December 21, 2010 – Give the re-gift that keeps on giving. While there are lots of awesome gifts people are hoping for this season, we all know the feeling of getting another scarf from Aunt Rita. Now that scarf doesn’t have to go to waste with Virgin Mobile’s RE*Gift for RE*Generation program. Spread some holiday love by giving those unwanted gifts to someone in need and get a little something back (on top of the good karma).

From December 26 – 31, 2010, Virgin Mobile will take all your unwanted and unused gifts at select Virgin Mobile stores across Canada and donate them to at-risk and homeless youth programs. To say thanks they’ll help you out with a proper gift – all re-gifters get a $50 accessory credit!

“Sure, they say it’s better to give than receive, but we think it’s best when you give and receive,” says Nathan Rosenberg, Chief Marketing Officer, Virgin Mobile Canada. “We’re giving Canadians the easy way out of those gifts they don’t want by putting them to good use to help at-risk youth. Now that’s what I call a happy holiday!”

What to RE*Gift

Ok, ok, young people have their limits too – no fruitcake! To make sure a smile appears on a youth’s face, we’re asking for the following items to RE*Gift:

  • Hoodies & Sweatshirts
  • Jackets
  • DVD’s and CD’s
  • Board Games
  • Shoes and Boots
  • Headphones and earbuds
  • Hats, gloves and scarves
