When you give someone a present, you are giving them an item (or otherwise) that, from the moment the gift reaches them, is theirs. Theirs, meaning they can do whatever they want with it. So if that person would like to re-gift it to someone else? Its their item to give, there's nothing wrong with that.
As for something that's been re-gifted...that most certainly does not represent disrespect. On the contrary, it's just like any other gift. The action is not based on the fact that you yourself do not want the gift, but rather on the fact that the person you're sending it to will want the gift. As an example...well, let's use chocolate. If I got chocolate from someone but I didn't want it, I could give it to someone else. Now, if I simply gave someone the chocolate because I had nothing else to give them and completely ignored whether or not they would like it or not, then that's unthoughtful and rude. But if I know the person likes chocolate and I have chocolate to give them, I think that's perfectly fine because, even though it was a gift to you originally, it's yours to decide what to do with and if you want to give it as a thought-out gift, that's fine.
Those are my thoughts on it, anyway. My disorganised thoughts, yes, but thoughts nonetheless. XD;
