What do you do with the gifts you receive

Well you can give them to me.... Ha ha ah I m so glad I found you here. Anyways If they are of no use to you, you can give them to charity and what else.

this is because u value peoples feelings.i usualy give them to needy people or use them myself.once we keep it aside ,we forget about it.$becomes useless.

i usually would keep those i like especially the ones that i would know i would use. hehe but those that i do not like so much, i would just give them to someone else when there is an occasion.

Hullo Mayka! It is a pretty justified dilemma you have; we cannot part with gifts from people who are really close because we feel we have done some injustice to the love and affection with which they had given us the gift. What I would suggest is you will have to categorise the gifts according to the people who gave you and the priority in utility. For example, if some item has been gifted by a close person whose relationship is special[not everyone will fall in the same category isn't it]you should either use it and throw it after it gets worn out. If the gift is a 'duty gift' you need have no qualms in passing it on to someone else.

um, I definitely try to sort out which one I would keep, and which one I can give away. As you might know, my mom hates me to store unnecessary stuff in my rooms to make it such messy, roomless place, since she has to take care of my junks on a daily basis. So, I might consider give away so much useless gifts I was in your place.

Hi, Good to see you after a long time. I usually unwrap the gifts and see if that's to be used by me/family and on an average i get all those items which are beneficial to me. If anything that can be passed on, then you can do so but you should be careful not to return the same gift to the giver.

It is very rare that I do not have the chance to use the gits given to me. But if it were a shirt that doesn't fit me, I let one of my sons have it instead. NO use in keeping them, right?

I really love and cherish the gifts i received and i just feel appreciate for those and it's been nice that we can have someone caring us.So it depends and if i can use it or can spend it,i will definitely love it to its value.

In my opinion, when your family or friends give you the gifts, they are yours, you have the right to deal with them, you can give them to others. If I were you, if I need the gift ,I will keep it by myself, if I don't use it any more, I will give it to others who need, or so many storing gifts will take up so much room in the house, I feel it's a disaster. Just my opinion, enjoy yourself, friend.

Hi mayka123! It's best to be practical when we receive gifts we don't really need. If you need extra cash you can sell it online or if you don't, you can just give it to someone who needs it or donate it. Just don't let the person who gave you that item know. Haha. He/she might get offended. I think most people do the same thing. What's the use of holding the item and not using it and let it have some molds or lose it quality? Have a nice day!

For me i better use it than store or give to someone else. It is lucky that there is someone give you gifts. A good luck gift. but.. It is up to you if you want to give it to someone else but make sure that the person who receives will used it and give value.

Most of the gifts I received were useful to me, so I didn't give them away. IF there are gifts that I find no use for at the moment, I keep them because one day they might be useful. However, if I think that others would benefit more from the gift, I give it away.

If the gifts are already making a mess, I believe that it is way better that you give it to others through gift and that would be savings for you. You can also have a yard sale or sell it online so that instead of making a mess, you can earn from it...

In my opinion you specifically sold out

If it was a gift of clothing that didn't fit, I'd donate it. If its something for the home, it depends-I might regift it to someone else, but I might give it away or donate it. Think about how many things you're storing right now-do they benefit you, or are they robbing you? If you're stressed because you're afraid to get rid of them, find a way to use them in your home. Otherwise, share them with others through donations or as gifts. Clutter makes you feel bad.

If i have gifts , i will keep it in my closet if i won't use it but i will never give it to other people . Anything given to me i treasured it very much. It is not about the worth of the material thing but the thought with it that counts most. Whatever is given to me , i considered it very special or precious.

I completely understand your dilemma as what to do. I believe in giving utility gifts that one can use rather keep storing for years like show pieces. Every gift is attached with some good memories, like the show pieces i have, when ever i see them, that result is going in flashback, so you have to take decision, how it will going to affect you if you give those to some one else.

Yes I also recycle gifts, gift bags and wrappers (if I didn't tear them totally). But making sure the gifts are not broken or dusty. As well as not giving the gift to someone familiar. If ever I would give it to a friend, I would consider the time period. Perhaps I would wait for as long as two years? before I'll decide to give the gifts. Additionally, I make sure that the gift doesn't have any mark that it was mine before. Or else, friendship won't last long. Hehe! If I can avoid giving back the gift, my next option is donating the gift. I would prefer donating the gifts to needy and nursing homes in that way, I wouldn't feel embarrassed and regretful I gave the my own gift. Thanks for the discussion Mayka123! ;)

hi mayka, I do usually keep the gift that has been given to me then use it so that the one who gave it to me could see that I put value and care to his gift. Gift should give value.

A gift or a present is an object given without an expectation of payment.Although gift giving might may involve an expectstion of reciprocity it can really be.a gift is meant to be free.In many human societies,the act of mutually exchanging money goods etc may contribute to an social cohension. gife and love should go together a gift given for a reward is never gift it is a business.we should love everyone when we buy a car and if anyone give us candy .candy is much precious because car is nothing truly we have paid equal amount to it so it costs nothing and if anyone give us discount it costs but not money rather gratitude it worths more than money.Economist have eloborated the economics of gift giving into the notion os gift economy.Gift is not an object it is gift of god to his son it is always this way think over it how much we are gifted from god.
