to "re-gift" a present to my boss?

My boss is lovely, a good friend.

However, I have, in a very forgetful moment completely forgotten to buy her a Christmas gift. Its my first year in this job, and I want to say thank you to her as she has been very supportive throughout the year.

I gave my two main colleagues their (homemade, can't rustle up another overnight) presents today, and then realised I had forgotten my boss.

WIBU to "re-gift" (sorry for the Americanism) a Molton Brown salt scrub which was given to me this week by a good friend - nothing to do with work so boss wouldn't find out? Its a lovely gift, but I already have two nice tubs of salt scrub and hardly use the stuff anyway.

I could easily chuck it in a gift bag tonight and give it to her tomorrow.

AIBU and mean?

Nope. What's the problem? MB stuff is very nice, and I'd be chuffed to get it.

Re-gift, re-gift!

YANBU to re-gift.
YABU to have forgotten someone that you call a good friend!

I know I know! Blame Christmas stress and being poorly organised Sad

I would do it if there is no chance of her finding out. I know that a present for DD from a relative of DH's is something she already has (noisy toy that was not switched off before wrapping and goes off randomly) and I am already thinking of regifting it to a friends DD who has a birthday soon.
