    Question 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!

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

    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.

    You can keep the boxes but I'll take any excess jewelry you get!

    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.
