Unwanted Gifts

[Prudie]

I've been given some perfume (about £50 worth) that I absolutely hate and don't know what to do with it, I don't have an ebay account. What perfectly OK gifts did you receive that you didn't want and what did you do with them?

Charity shop?

[EcclesCake]

I have a drawer of gifts waiting to be be regifted, trouble is I can't always remember who gave them to me so I have to be careful!

When it comes to stuff that I cannot regift I send it to the charity shop or a raffle.

Charity shop for me too.

Bottles of beer from around the globe ... I drank them.

[MargoTester]

Would any of your friends like it? If you you could either give it to them, or sell to them half price (or whatever you want to charge) have you opened it?

[gingejbee]

Not an answer to your question, but.....absolute proof that giving a fragrance to another person is a very bad idea - unless you KNOW it's what they want. To paraphrase a well-known saying - one person's perfume is another person's pong.

[Arksided]

I appreciate every gift given to me and the thought behind them... although I now smell like a Chinese brothel. Think they may have being a hint or something.

[Prudie]

I haven't opened it, not even the box, have to be careful as I think it was suggested to the givers by OH - some ladies will understand, it's Angel. I'm not that bothered about getting any money, maybe charity shop is an idea.

Talbot, you're not playing, if you drank them then they're not unwanted.

We held a very successful bring and buy coffee morning yesterday to raise funds for our charity. All unwanted Chrissie pressies plus good quality 'fed up with' items.

[EcclesCake]

Angel is rather errr.....pungent. I quite like it but Mr Cake loathes it, a friend's wife was a very grateful recipient of my bottle.

Send them back with a note asking them to exchange it for something you like

[grasscarp]

Like you Prudie I received perfume. I rarely wear perfume and stick to one or two I know, so don't even want to open it. I am thinking of listing it on Amazon as they have it on there.

[mikey4444]

Donate this to a charity shop perhaps !

[naomi24]

Charity shop always. I never sell anything I don't want.

[B00]

Id keep it and re-gift it.

Ask the giver of the present for the receipt so you can change it or don't Del Boy give receipts ;-))

[maggiebee]

As already said perhaps a charity shop or as a raffle prize to help raise funds for your favourite charity?

[jennyjoan]

I am just back after delivering a load of perfumes talc rather large slippers, dressing gowns and one perfume was expensive. Charity Shop were amazed - then of course I spotted a wee soft leather bag (I needed a bigger one) and bought that back. It is great to get rid. Give it to charity Prudie.

I had a dilemma, Prudie

I don't drink in the house but ... I hate waste!
