Did you return/exchange your Christmas gifts?

I have been using Gift Cards as an idea for Gifts lately for just about everyone. It is a lot easier that way to make sure you are getting something they will enjoy. What I do, is find a store everyone likes, or a Restaurant the person likes to eat at, and then make my decision and purchase from there. And when I receive a Gift card then how can you be unhappy with what you bought, unless it ends up being the wrong size, or type once you get it home.

I had to exchange some clothes i got for christmas that were the wrong size.its not about what you get for christmas its the thought that counts.i would rather get a gift it means more to me than a giftcard would.

I don't, because I don't usually get the receipts. It's not that I get presents that are last minute or anything like that, I just get a lot of presents and don't have a lot of space. And sometimes I feel like I am being sent messages with the presents. But it's still more fun to open a present than a giftcard. Although a giftcard is definitely fun to use!

I'll return them if there's something wrong with them, but there was nothing wrong with my gifts this year.

I tried to think of a time that I returned a gift...and I honestly can't remember ever doing it. Sure, I've received some stuff I wasn't crazy about but I generally find a use for most things. I think my attitude stems from the fact that (a) I hate shopping and (b) I hate the line ups at customer service even more LOL To answer your question, I like unwrapping a gift but I'm not offended by a giftcard. I've gotten nice restaurant gift certificates before and also one to have a manicure and pedicure. I appreciated those every bit as much :)

I feel bad for it but, yes I did return gifts. Alot of people got me weird stuff. So, instead of just letting it sit in my house and let their money go to waste, I'd rather go find something that I will actually use or wear. This was the first year I ever returned gifts just because they didn't suit my tastes and I feel guilty for it. I knew everyone meant well and it really is the thought that counts.

I had to, my mother in law gave me clothes and they were four sizes too big. I tried to exchange them at wal mart today, but they only gave me a gift card, and there was nothing to buy for me there so I bought some other stuff. Hubby is buying me new clothes to make up for it next week.

no i did not return my gifts not this year

The only thing I will return is clothes if they don't fit. Yes, giftcards are nice if someone doesn't know what to get, but it's the thought remember, not the gift that counts. It will never fail, if you return something, the person who gave it to you will want to see their gift at some point and then you are caught.

Amazingly, there was nothing I had to return this year! How cool is that? I'd much rather have a present than a giftcard. I've had one gift card I got before for a store that I would have loved to go to... but it was like 45 minutes away by car and I had no car at the time. By the time I could have possibly gone, it was out of business! And another time, someone gave me a gift card to a spa. I had to sell that for only half of what it was worth. It was only $20, so I sold it for $10. But I would have not only hated the spa, but the cheapest thing to do there was $60.

Actually this year I didn't have to exchange any of mine. I got lucky. I have had to in the past but I only do so if I absolutly have to. I hate dealing with customer service. Well opening a gift is more fun but there are times I'd rather have the gift card. That way I know I can get what I want and I don't have to worry about what someone else might think I want.

id rahter get a present but i love giftcards so either one is fine for me

I have never returned a present in my life. I always feel guilty about it. even shirts my grandparents gave me that were the wrong size and 15 years out of style. I just always feel that if someone takes the time to give me a present, I'm betraying them by taking it back. I know that's silly, but that's how I feel.

I would rather open a present but a gift card is always nice because you can always use it for something more useable!! We had to return our xbox 360 today I was mad. The hooked it up after opening and it kept giving us an error message. I contacted customer support of course it worked after they told me what to do, but the next time they went to play it did it again. I said screw it and we took it back and got another. So far this one is working well

Stencil brown paper grocery bags to use for wrapping. If you need a new Christmas tree, lights, or other decorations for next year, buy them after Christmas when stores reduce prices dramatically. Consider decorating your tree with strings of popcorn and cranberries. Not only does this make a fun family activity, but popcorn is inexpensive and an enjoyable treat for the birds after Christmas.

Yes, of course I returned some of my christmas gifts. I think most people do return some things that are given to them by relatives or friends.

We haven't returned anything yet, but we will have to soon lol if we ever get around to doing it. It is just a DVD that my daughter already has; we will just get her another one. To answer your question, I am not really sure what I like getting more, a gift card or a present. Honestly, I kind of like them both. As you said, presents are more exciting to open. But, on the other hand, gift cards are one of the few ways to make sure you get exactly what you wanted.

I enjoy gift cards if someone does not know me much. Gift cards are smaller but worth more and you can get what you want.

I would rather open a present and then go and exchange it for a gift card if I don't like it.

Im glad to say that no I didnt have to return any gifts....thats because I told everyone to give me money this year...you can never go wrong with money.
