Random Poll: Bad gifts

What do you do with gifts that you don't like or have no use for? Do you throw them away or donate them?

Re: Random Poll: Bad gifts

  • I feel guilty so I'll usually hold on to them for YEARS until I finally lose it and get rid of it.

  • I usually turn them into white elephant gifts.
  • Donate.  Although, I need to see if I can take my ugly crystal frame to Carson's & get store credit- I couldn't sell it on ebay.

  • Donate or throw away depending on what the gift is...if it's the weird isht my grandma gives me (including already opened toiletries) it gets thrown out. Unopened, able to be used products get donated.

  • I've never thrown a bad gift away or regifted it.

    It usually finds a place in storage in the basement.

  • dh and i hit goodwill several times a year with clothes, books and bad gifts.

  • Donate or sell at a tag sale. I don't think I've ever tossed anything, but I would if I found it morally objectionable (like if Bacon got a Bratz for her birthday or something.).

  • Usually I just return them. If it's a re-gift or not returnable I'll either use it for a white elephant or donate it.
  • Thanks. We get a ton of stupid schit from my in-laws every year when they travel. Things such as a wooden mystery box from Costa Rica or an ugly handmade purse from Italy.

     I have enough schit. I don't need more schit cluttering up my condo, thank you so much.

  • Goodwill or give it away to someone that would like it, not as a regift, but as a "hey, do you want this?  If not, it is going to goodwill."

  • I toss the sh!t that my FIL gets me. He's the only one that gets me bad gifts because everyone else actually cares.
  • None of this stuff is objectionable, it's just junk that I don't want lying around my house.

    And the stuff that this woman picks out... sometimes I wonder if she's ever met me. What, in the 4 years that we've known each other, would ever make you think that I'm into beaded butterfly necklaces from Hawaii?!

    I think my 18 year old cousin might like it, however.

  • I try to hold onto it long enough, just in case the person asks about it. Then, it usually goes onto the Goodwill pile.

  • Donate or white elephant.

  • They get tossed in a closet for a few years until I feel safe the person forgot about it, then I give it to someone as a gift.

     

    For instance, I got a Thomas Kinkaid music box a few years ago and it's been sitting in my bedroom at my mom's since. It's being regifted this year.

  • Return if possible, give away if someone I know wants it.  Otherwise I donate or use for a white elephant.

    I currently have an Ettiene Aigner purse from my birthday that I might try and sell on craigslist because it kills me to give it away.

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
  • I regift if it is not too horrible, otherwise I donate it or throw it away.
  • Yoshi, you're sending that music box to my mom, right?

    We have a running joke in the family about Thomas Kincade. I wish someone would buy me his stuff - I'd have gag gifts for years!

  • I will TRY to use them, and if not, give them away.  Goodwill is always accepting things.

  • LOL bmom you don't like THE PAINTER OF LIGHT?!!?!?!

    There's a "christian store" (it's in quotes because it's more like spray painted gold crosses with giant aplique roses wrapped on top for $20) in this meximall around here and it looks like TK splooged all over the store.
