Christmas is the season for Giving, and with that in mind, it's inevitable you will be faced with the following scenario:
You receive a gift from a well-meaning person. Unfortunately:
- it isn't what you asked for.
- you have no use for it.
- it's awful.
By the way, this is purely a hypothetical question, and has no reflection on any gifts we received this year~~just curious what my fellow bloggers think....
Blessings, K~

Exchange it, re-gift it, or give it away. SERIOUSLY... it'll just sit there unused when someone else could be using it.
Have to agree with Jenni.
My brother in law gave me a nice long-sleeved technical running shirt, a $25 Borders gift card and... a web cam.
A web cam? What was he thinking? My wife's theory is that he got it as a gift, and he just re-gifted it to me.
There are probably plenty of people who could use this and appreciate it a lot more than me. (anybody reading this want it?)

I'm on a new kick of getting rid of crap that is taking up space and not being used. We received a gift ("Scene It - Friends Addition)... I haven't watched Friends since 1998. Needless to say, I returned it and am now sporting a sassy little wristlet!
On the other hand, my grandma gave me something, that while it isn't really my taste, I know she was thinking about me when she got it, so it will get pardoned - in case she comes over... at which time I will dig it out for display. It's all about not huring someone's feelings.
I'm definitely in the re-gift camp. As far as the response--something generic and non-offensive. And Stewart--I'll take the webcam (it must be worth something on e-bay). Tilma
