You know how it is when you get a gift off someone and you either already have one of the same thing or it is a gift you do not like.Other than saying thankyou what do you do with it?Do you give it to someone the following Christmas or do you give it away?

theres nothing that I would not like if it was given as a gift or even if its just for nothing. if you were given something, that means you were thought of or you were considered someone important to the giver. even if I already have that item that was given, I wuold still appreciate it because its always a different giver and its the thought that counts.

I say thank you in the most sincere voice I could possibly muster, and I do try to find a use for it afterwards. I never give it away, as that seems just wrong. If I absolutely cannot find use for it or I cannot like it no matter how hard I try, it usually lies forgotten in the back of my closet.

I guess there are not any gifts that I do not want but I really prefer to get things I can use. I like it when I get everyday items so I don't have to buy them for a little while. When you live on a budget and can't spend a lot for christmas, it always feels funny to get a bunch of things from people and not be able to give back. I have certainly regifted before and I don't feel bad about it because if I think someone else can use it more than I can, it is in a better place.

I usually always get gifts that I want, as my family and I check with each other to see what we all want. If I did get a gift that I did not care for I would keep it anyway.

I don't celebrate Christmas but I do get gifts on other days like birthdays, anniversaries, mother's day and so on. I don't think I have ever received a gift that I don't like. I think the fact that someone thought about giving me a gift is a gift in itself. And the physical gift is just a bonus. So if I'm given something that I already have, I will most definitely keep it until I find the need to use it. I have received gifts like an iron and an oven toaster of which I already have one so I just keep them until my present iron or oven toaster breaks down. And I don't have to buy a new one since someone has already thoughtfully given it to me.

If I have no use for it I would either give it to someone who could use it or donate it to the charity shop. I tell anyone that I buy presents for to do the same. I have more than enough stuff that has accumulated over the years & is just tucked away in a cupboard. I can appreciate the thought from the giver but, to me, passing it on is no worse than shoving it out of sight somewhere in the house/garage.

Hee hee!! Don't you just love those kinds of gifts? rolleyes First I try to think if there is someone I can give it to . . . and if I can, I'll save it for an occasion. If it's something no one will want, I will offer it on Freecycle. And if no one takes it there, I'll try to get rid of it on Craigslist. There's usually SOMETHING I can do with the gift . . . but if not, I know I can always donate it to the nearest thrift shop!!

I usually have a gifts that I don't want but the thoughts is what made it very important to me. When the gifts are things that I don't usually use, I try to find ways to use it even at one time to make it more thoughtful. I don't give my gifts to anyone, I know the feeling of recycling gifts and I know the one who gave me the gifts will be hurt if they see the gifts they have given to me have given to another person. I find ways to use that gifts as much as possible.

I have to say I have never received a gift that I couldn't use or wanted. People usually ask me what I want and I will either say nothing this year or I make a list of the things I would love to receive. That way no one can go wrong. If I was to receive something that I have already I would either exchange it at he store or give it to one of my daughters.
