Frederick Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 How would you feel knowing your searched for gift went straight on Ebay...... I would not be happy ! http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-2078936/The-unwanted-Christmas-gifts-went-straight-eBay.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Depends what it is - my daughter 'recycled' some unwanted gifts last year, and now ebays things she has but doesn't use quite a bit.On the whole though I find it best to do a bit of research before hand and use Amazon wish lists and make notes through the year.....

Théière Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 That's what happens when you don't have the receipt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ice-ni Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 No, that is what happens when you buy something that the recipient neither asked for nor wanted. But that sums up the winter festival quite well.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 If you neither asked for it or wanted it but you have a receipt it can go back not necessarily on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Probably Not ...... but I may now put the word out to the family that I expect them to be dressed in the ill fitting garments I gave them when I call round ..As they will expect to see me in the slippers knee length socks and too tight cardigan I got this year !

Quillan Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 [quote user="Frederick"]...... too tight cardigan I got this year ![/quote]I hope that was a Christmas 'scene' one as Mrs 'Q' informs me that they are all the rage this year. Some pillock sent me socks with individual toes, they are on my naff present list for next year.A friend of mine recycles presents. I told him that it's not a wise thing to do, did he listen, well put it this way he managed to send his MIL the same present she sent him the year before. He said it was deliberate because she has not spoken to him since so I am not sure if this was a good move or not. [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ice-ni Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Of course it wasn't a good move as it invites further contact. People who don't contact me don't get christmas presents from me - but nor do those who do. Di and I exchange presents if/when the mood takes us and as neither of us celebrates an anniversary at this time of year there is no pressure on us to waste money.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
