It's still in the box, pretty much untouched. I'm going to a casual friend's house for a holiday gathering this weekend. Is it unacceptably tacky to re-gift it to her as a hostess gift? She's religious so that wouldn't be an issue.

Do it only if you won't feel like a complete schmuck when you get busted for the regifting. They'll call you a cheap lawyer behind your back. Mikasa, Swarovski et al change their designs/patterns pretty much every year with religion (not religious, but you know - consistently). That's how they get you to buy new stuff every year. I'm sure a simple internet search will pull up "Angel ornament 2002." Then they'll either think you bought it at a discount store or are a regifter.
Weight the cost/benefit and decide for yourself.
