Unwanted gifts?
We all get em so what happens to yours?
Honestly I dont get many gifts I dont like/want except for stuffed animals, never been a girly girl that wanted that stuff or thought it was cute so they usually end up in the floor somewhere collecting dust. Otherwise I try to use everything I mean if someone got me a shirt I didnt like Id still wear it cause they didnt have to get me anything at all its the thought that counts and it means alot. If its lotion or perfume I dont like the smell of then i MIGHT give it to someone else but if I can stand it then I wear it but if its something I absolutely cannot bare to put on me then I give it away to someone I KNOW will use it but thats normally just coconut that stuff makes me gag!Last edited by Mini; 12-18-2007 at 04:25 PM.

Everything we know we won't use, we put in a box to take to the domestic violence shelter.

I will usually return it if I can but if not I re gift it!
Be who you are and say what you feel, those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I'm so bad when it comes to unwanted gifts... I just sit them in the closet and forget about them. Although I'm going through my stuff and plan to put them on freecycle... I've got two jewelery boxes that I don't know what to do w/... since I'm a girl ppl must think I need a jewelery box.. I barely wear jewelery, not only do I not want a jewelery box, but I don't want jewelery for gifts.

I don't like to regift because I'm afraid of making a mistake and giving a gift to someone whom the original gift-giver knows. Does that make sense?
If it's something somebody made, I keep it.
Otherwise I probably give it to charity unless it's something that's the wrong size and I can exchange it for another size.Dear Lord, please give me the strength to not slap an idiot today......Amen.

I clicked on other. My husband got me some stuff from Victorias Secret, that Rapture scent I think. He had already shown me some of the stuff and I had smelled it and didn't like it. He bought me a set of it anyway. I put that stuff on and it smelled like pure pee on me. I sneaked it out of the house, one bottle at a time to a friend who loved the smell of it. I did keep the lotion that came with it cause I could put it on my feet and the socks I wear covered the scent up.

I don't get much b/c most ppl know not to get me any... right now I have a silver heart necklace my now ex bf got me last year... I'm not too sure what to do w/ it. I told him multiple times but he didn't seem to listen (obviously) that I don't like hearts and I don't want ANY heart jewelery and yet I ended up w/ a damn heart necklace. (I wanted a circle necklace and I pointed like five out to him... I think I needed to hit him w/ a Mack truck to get my point across) but honestly, I'm so damn picky, I'd prefer money or GC or anything I can use to bake or cook with

I usually don't get much gifts. I tell my friends if they want to give me something it has to be in cash or gift card. I already have too much stuff.
