What would you do if someone gifted you something that you do not really need?

I will just accept the gift and have it safe. Thats all. Mostly gals will gift some show case items to each other. Its of no use actually. We will just have it. Its just their sign of love. Every time we see that we remember that friend. Thats the main purpose of gifts. To be remembered. It does solve that purpose right. Then be happy about it. Hehe. Happy mylotting.

I'd probably accept the gift regardless and then try to figure out what I should do with it. I'd either pass it on to someone else or keep it and figure out what exactly I could do with it. I mean, it may eventually come in handy but I just don't know. That's the problem with some people giving me gifts. I hate how they just randomly buy really strange things because I can never be sure what to do with those items.

If I receive a gift which I don't really need, I will try to give it to another one. At least it won't be a waste. I love China

I would except the same and would later donate it to some needy person ..other day without informing to one who gave me the gift Thanks Ganesh

i can understand whats ur point of view as even i have experienced it quite a few times. some of my friends has gifted me the items that i really dont use it n its out of my taste but cant help it i like my friends n cant hurt them by telling anything about their gift n i just accept it have a smile on my face n i just preserve it n sometimes try to add up a little art work to the gift so that it looks much more better n then use it as a showpiece or just preserve it. i usually preserve the gifts , cards everything from my friends so that i can see those gifts n remember my friends n all the moments we had spend together. i know that gifts r not required to remember friends but just i remember my friends n hence cant see them n i just look at the gifts n cards just as an addition to remember them.

Whenever I recieve a gift from family or friend I will always accept it and be very thankful of it, even though I don't need it or like it! I will keep it somewhere because I might need it one day.

I would still say thank you... The mere fact that they even got me something is a big thing for me. A small letter or a simple not is enough to make my day. Even if I am given things that I really don't need, I still hold them in high esteem. A lot of my former students, for some reason, would give me stuffed bears as a thank you. I have so many now that I think I can make a family tree out of them. haha. Now, even if I can't use them, I still appreciate the fact that they went out of their way to get me something. (and I'm pretty sure they had to think long and hard to figure out what to get me. Lol.) Some of the bears I've actually given away to nieces or nephews because they liked them... at least those gifts get to have a new home where they will be more loved.

I would do exactly what you did? I would never have the heart to tell my friend that I don't need it. My friend would have taken so much of thought and pain in getting me that gift. A gift is so much more than a mere object. It is a way of expressing love on a special occasion.

Hi , I would not tell my friends and know it was the thought that counted . Who knows maybe one day you may find someone to wear it and it will fit them well . My friend many , many years back gave me a piggy bank and i was like what the . But you know it was the thought . she knew i wanted to save for a vegas trip we planned .

As a teacher, I'm always receive a lot of gifts from my students, and I will accept it whatever it is. A gift is a gift. You don't have to use it but it is a gift, so keep it and don't tell any body you don't need it. In fact a gift is more than what we see, it is a bridge between hearts, whatever it is...

I would accept it as it would be rude not to.
