Do you ever take a gift you received for Christmas back to the store. Like things you have gotten that you know you won't use.
My son and I was talking about Christmas this morning and he was telling me about his son receiving the same toy as a gift from three different people. When I ask if he took two of them back , busted out laughing and said "No, I'm not like someone I know that took the tape back that I gave them" We both had a good laugh about that.
Yeas ago I received a Vince Gill CD from my son, he knew I was a big fan of Vince Gill's. I had always loved the song Go Rest High ON That Mountain written & sang by Vince Gill, so this is the reason my son got the CD for me. The trouble was, the CD was a Christmas tape and didn't have the song on it. So after Christmas, I just went and exchanged it for another Vince Gill CD. This is something my son always teases me about when it comes to Christmas gifts.
We did have a good laugh again when I told him, I took it back because it was a Christmas CD, and he replied back " I only got it because that's all they had" So we busted out laughing again.

I haven't returned anything that was given to me at the store. Why, because we can't get a refund for that. Nobody includes a gift receipt when they give presents here.
So I just keep them as a reminder of someone's sweet thoughts..

Most places here will take items back after Christmas, even without a receipt. Some stores just put your refund on their store card for the same amount. When I took the CD back it was years ago, I took it back to Walmart, this was when the store would take just about anything back anytime of the year. If you didn't have a receipt you just didn't get cash, you got a card.

@toniganzon Oh no, you can exchange things here way after 7 days. A lot of places give you sometimes, 30 days or more, depending on want it is and the reason you are bringing it back.

@sweetashoney Just not possible here without a receipt.
and most stores don't accept returns but an exchange however there's a period to do that. Must be exchanged within 7 days from the date of purchase.

I've returned clothing over the years that didn't fit. My family usually knows not to buy me clothes, I'm just really hard to fit.
