What to do if you get an unwanted gift this Christmas
Share:
We have all received a gift we know we are not going to use even though we are always thankful for anything we receive with love at Christmas. But there will be some of us now who still have an old gift sat collecting dust at the back of a cupboard. So, what are the options if you know you are never going to use the gift and there is no receipt, or if you cannot politely tell the gift giver it simply isn't for you? Selling, swapping, donating and rejecting are among the options for those who receive an unwanted Christmas gift this year.
A spokesperson from NetVoucherCodes.co.uk said: “Most Brits celebrating Christmas are likely to receive at least one gift they don’t really like or have a use for this year. “To help with the inevitable awkwardness that can pose, we’ve put together nine potential things you can do when you receive an unwanted festive present.
“It’s often kinder to simply smile and accept the present and then later working out what to do with it, but there’s always the nuclear option of handing an misjudged gift back if you’re feeling brave.”. 1. Sell. For many people who receive an unwanted gift this Christmas, the obvious solution is to list it for sale online. And this is something that has never been easier with options including Vinted, eBay, Facebook marketplace and other popular apps.
