Are you going to return any gifts you recieved for Christmas? Why or why not?

I'm returning something I bought for a nephew. Changed my mind about it, because of the price, and was unsure he'd like it in the first place. Plus, my Christmas shopping isn't over. Still expecting relatives over for the new year. As for gifts received, I didn't get much. These didn't have gift receipts, so I won't be parting with any of these. One of them I could re-gift next year. I'm learning not to get offended when someone returns/re-gifts a present I give them. Obviously, they don't need/want the one I gave them all that bad. (And I do it too at times). It does, however, feel like a huge waste of time when the gift's returned after searching all over the city/Web for it.

Pretty much everything that I received to Christmas was good. I did not get any gifts that I would think that I returned. This year, I made sure to give everyone a list of the things that I wanted and told them if they could not find them, then I would prefer cash. That turned out to be good. I think that if you make it clear what you want, far in advance, then there will be no problems like this.

I'm not returning anything and don't remember ever doing it except for our son one year when the toy we bought him didn't work. The only time I would consider returning something is if it didn't fit and I could get the right size in an exchange... can't think of any other time I would. I think it's rude to not graciously accept things that are given to you.

i only receive 1 present for christmas this year and i don't have any plan to return it because it is alright... i can still use it... i don't usually send out or receive many gifts during christmas... so this is not a problem for me... take care and have a nice day...

Hi Infatuatedbby, I have never returned a gift unless it didn't work and I was exchanging it or if it were the wrong size. To be honest, I can't even really think of any gifts I've ever gotten that I didn't like. Most people who would buy me gifts know me pretty well and I just happen to like everything I've gotten. I don't know if it is rude or not to return a gift. I know I would not be offended because I just want the person to enjoy what I bought them. If it is something they already have or have no use for then I am ok with them returning it.

It is more wiser to give something that the receiver will love and something that does not have issues on the sizes. It is really hard to received something that does not fit you. Either you try to use it. Or give to to another person. In this country as long as you have the receipt( Which I don't think the giver will give to you, you can exchange the gifted item. In a limited time frame of seven days).

Around here, the stores don't allow returns the day after Christmas because we have really big sales the week after Christmas. I am going to have to return a couple of things because I got duplicates. It happens, but I can't use them both.

well first of all, i am not personally returning any gifts this year. i didnt really get anything i could actually return or would want to return...plus nobody gave me the receipts lol...jk i wouldn't have returned them anyway. i agree that it is very rude for people to flat out return gifts. and it's funny because alot of the people who return all their gifts are the main ones who didn't buy anybody else gifts anyway...so it is extra rude.i actually don't think i have ever returned any gift (for any occasion) because i am always grateful for whatever i get.

I am not returning any gifts this year. I got a bath robe, and it has a little tear in the seam, but I am going to sew that myself. I just like the robe to much to take it back and find out they don't have any left. And, my blender is exactly the one I asked for...it's so easy to use. I made my smoothies in it today! Woot!!

Here in the Philippines, no one bothers to return a gift. LOL. If he/she finds it useful then he/she will use it. If he doesn't find it useful for him, he will probabaly give it to someone else or for the older people ,they will keep it as a remembrance for the thoughtfulness of the giver.Until such time arrives when such gift becomes useful or be given away to someone else, too.:) I think it is practical to return the gifts that you don't need or like, just do not let the giver knows about it especially if you return it and exchange it for something different.:)

I would nly return if the item did not fit, and like you if they do not have it in a size then I would exchange for something else that would. As for exchanging simply because I did not like it and or cannot use it, this I could not do as I would feel so guilty because perhaps the person went all out their way and it would show some unappreciation to the gifter. I would keep the item for a while and if, only if I see someone can use it then I would give it to someone to put it to good use.

My favorite part of Christ-Mas (I hate it when people take Christ out of Christmas. Christmas is a christian holiday to celebrate Christ being born and if you are not christian and you want to share it with us you are very welcome to, but don't change the name just because you are greedy and still want to get gifts. If it offends you that Christ was born, start your own holiday that gives gifts. Don't try to change ours just because you want to horn in on the gift giving and recieving. Christ was born get over it)used to be the gifts, but now I just love getting to see and spend time with my family. ***Sorry about the rant, I just had to get that off my chest. I am not saying if you are not a christian you can't celebrate Christmas, infact I welcome anyone to celebrate, I just hate it when people try to change the name, because it offends them for some reason**** I don't buy many gifts for people, but I make them candy. Almond roca, peanut butter balls, fudge and a few others. It's really yummy and everyone seems to go crazy over it. My mom started the tradition and I guess she volunteered me to take over lol. I don't mind though. My husband and I didn't really do gifts on Christmas this year. I try to make a little money online to help my husband out, because I stay home to take care of our new born son. I was always using his laptop and he has been wanting to upgrade his laptop for a while. His laptop is now my laptop, which is a very good, fast laptop that has everything I need and way more, and he got a new one. It worked out perfect because now my husband has the technology to play a game he has had for ever and I have a laptop of my own. He is an uber computer nerd so he needs more than I do when it comes to a computer lol. That was our gift to each other. When it comes to returning gifts, if I bought someone a gift that they didn't really like or couldn't use, I would not mind if they traded it for something they would use. No one can know you as well as you know yourself, so buying a gift that another person would use or likes is a lot more difficult than buying something for yourself. I personally wouldn't be offended. I don't expect someone else to clutter their house up with things that they won't use or isn't their particular style. However, if someone makes me a gift that they put time and effort into, I don't care if it is the ugliest thing I have ever seen, I will keep it and at least wear it or put it up when they come over. I like homemade gifts. It says a lot more than just buying some random thing that you hope someone will like.

I have never exchanged a Christmas gift or any gift I have ever gotten because I didn't like it. The only reason I would exchange a gift is if it were clothing and it didn't fit then I would exchange it, but I am not a hard person to buy for even the littlest give is good for me. I do think it is mean and rude and just down like rude to exchange something just because you don't like it exspecially when the person tried there best to get you a nice gift.

Well gifts are gifts and you must accept them as they are , there is a good saying in ou language that you dont look in the teath of gifted horse or something like that ;p. I wouldnt return any of my gifts , that would just be plain rude.

Instead of returning things that I dont like that I receive I usually just donate them to places that give things away for free to whoever needs or wants it. There are a few places like this near me and you can drop anything you want off to give away and have anything there that you want. Its so wonderful! I have returned christmas gifts in the past but I didnt do that this year. USUALLY when I am standing in line after Christmas to make returns is because I got one of my kids too many presents or the wrong thing and need to return it. I have a few things that I have to return. One to wal-mart and one to toys r us. I hate making returns especially so soon after the holidays when the lines for returns are so long.

infatuatedbby, I don't know what to say, because I do not really think about Christmas gifts for this year, because this year I don't have to give Christmas gifts.
