Exchanging gifts is fun but sometimes we're not lucky. I'm not lucky when I'm in elementary I got a useless gift as my exchange gift. Do you always like the item you receive in exchange gifts?

I fully agree with @shaggin. We all had gifts we did not like. The best should be to write down a wishlist and let people know what we like.

Yes we did that in highschool we have wish list so we don't waste our gifts buying one that we don't need

@averygirl72 It's the best thing to do, you avoid to waste money.

I don't think anyone out there has liked every single present they ever received. I know I have gotten plenty I did not like just from people who know me so it was even worse during class parties where it was random what we got.

Yeah it's worse when we get gifts in random. Sometimes we're lucky sometimes we're not

@averygirl72 It's great to get something we enjoy. When we don't though I just donate it.

Not always, but maybe next time will be better for you.

Sometimes I don't like the gift given to me but i just consider the thought that comes with it.

It's the thought that counts. Anyway we will receive other gifts

Ahahah. I feel you. I always end up with photo albums, comb, or towel. Ahahaha. Unlike these days, you can ask someone or make a wishlist and it's up to your friends which one to give you. Lol

I always look for the feelings associated with every gift. Not the content

I have liked some and then had no use for a few. It is hard to buy for someone you don't really know either, found that out!

I have no such luck in exchange gifts unless I specifically mention what I want as a gift.

@averygirl72 I'm just thankful that I still got a gift. Most of the time I just think of re-gifting it.

I had some gifts during the elementary days that made me feel blue. Since I am not expecting such presents and feeling like being betrayed.

It feels bad when you prepared well your gifts and you received a gift with little value

@averygirl72 I had experienced such feeling before. Now, I am more understanding person and it doesn't matter what kind of gift that I might be received.

The exchange gift is only a formality for me. I never see any speciality in it.

I feel like they shouldn’t had gone to trouble, I truly don’t deserve gifts. I’d rather make my existence detached during those times.

What do you mean? You don't need gifts? It's a waste of time sometimes
