Most of the time I get a gift that is not my style or don't have a use for. I usually return them to the store to get an exchange or a credit. That can be a hassle sometimes. If I don't feel like going to the store I just keep it and just give it to somebody else who I think would like it more than I do.

I usually do the re-gift thing. I always hated getting re-gifted items, but now I see why people do it. I have even held on to the item and sold it in a garage sale. You can more for it because it is new and never used.

i guess i'm lucky, i never got so far something i disliked or i didn't need. but if it were to ever receive such a gift i would re-gift it lol. sound horrible i know but where i live there is no such option as returning them.
