Here are some top tips to deal with unwanted Christmas presents:
- If you are planning to regift your unwanted Christmas presents, do remember to make a note of who they came from so you don’t give them to someone you shouldn’t (i.e the person who gave it to you!)!
- If you think you should keep the present ‘out’, don’t feel guilty if you don’t, perhaps you have it in a different room? The person who gave it to you won’t know. It’s ok not to want to display it.
- If the item is food or beauty related, remember that you can give it to the food bank if it’s in date and unopened.
- Have a new year swap party with some friends – one man’s trash is another man’s treasure!
- Why not sell it? If you don’t need the money, give the proceeds to your favourite charity (and if the shop will take it back you can swap it for something you really want).
