So... What are you going to return? Re-gift?

[TheHaitian]

I got 1 pair of shoes wrong size that I will probably return and exchange for the right pair of shoes.

3 ties that are "nice" but not me but I guess I am stuck with (MIL and wife would notice if I exchanged them). The price tag along on those ties make me uncomfortable!

But yea just the pair of shoes!

Nothing.

DD got pink sparkly Uggs type boots from Target. They don't fit.

I like everything I got.

[imanangel]

I have regifted a ton of booze.  I know, I KNOW...so wrong!  I seriously have way too much, then I got way too much more from various people, and I move in 6 months.  My liver cannot handle THAT much booze!

I think GW is going to get a body shop package I got. She has already given me a little makeup gift to pass on to my friend's 10 year old grand daughter. My friend got me a necklace and earrings that I'm not really fond of, but he is so pleased with himself so I'm gonna have to wear them about once a year for the next few years.

I got a couple of books that I don't see myself reading since I'm not a big fan of comics.

Which books? 

[Lizard Queen]

I got MYSELF 2 belts for DH to give me.  (He had to work the last 8 straight days before Christmas, including Christmas Eve.  It would've been 10 but he was sick one of those days.)  One doesn't fit, so I'll probably exchange it.  I knew it didn't fit when I bought it.

All I got for Christmas was venison, chocolate and a check.  Nothing I'd return there.

 Keeping everything.  I got a pink sweater that is definitely not "me" but I will wear it because I don't actually care too much about what I wear, and it makes my mom happy for me to not be wearing all black, grey, and brown. Plus I look good in pink. I'd just never buy it on my own.

[NancysSummerSip]

Returned a smart tracker watch. Hated to do that, since 1) I picked it out and 2) it's the first gift DH ever gave me that I've had to return. But it did not work correctly (battery would not charge completely nor would it hold a charge). Would not accept another in its place, either. Just not going to buy anything else from this manufacturer.

We have same mother? Always critique me for black grey white clothes!

I keep all my gifts. I have smart kids that buy me lots of books that I love. No ties here. I would ask mom and wife to go with to exchange for something more your style.

But you're going to have a going away party, right?

And all you have to is declare and pay some duty on those lovely bottles of Italian wine.

Doesn't it depend on the state?  I will have to research the state we are going to.  I didn't regift much wine.  Ok, I regifted sweet wine, I am not a fan of sweet wines.  Most of the stuff I regifted was hard liquor.

I'll probably give MIL the weird Indian blanket she gave me.

I need to go back to Target and return some of the gifts I bought for MIL.

[cronewitch]

Nobody gave me gifts except my ISO, he got me a robe that is extra roomy but pretty and I don't mind too big, a steam cleaner for my floors that matches the one I gave him and some slippers I haven't seen yet but we wear the same size so I will keep them even if I don't like them and he can wear them or leave them under my desk to put toes in when cold.

Not sure - will have to go look. 

So... Look already

Adults in our house don't really exchange presents so no returns/regifting necessary.  One grandson did give me a CARS picture frame, and another one gave my husband a checker set.  I'm guessing they had a problem with getting gifts from us but giving nothing in return, which I find sweet.  I promised to play checkers the next time they are over. 

ETA:  I am regifting a heavy cast iron Creuset dutch oven that my daughter gave me several years ago.  I've never used it because I can barely lift it empty.  I can't imagine being able to lift it with food in it.  She loves HERS, but her husband ruined the finish on the inside.  I offered to give her mine since I "barely" use it (code for "never"), and she said she would love it if I wasn't using it. 

[Shooby]

My son got me a rice cooker. I already have one so I returned it.

[midjd]

I'm struggling with what to do with one of the Radio Flyer wagons DD got. MIL bought a metal one with wooden slat sides and my dad/stepmom got her the plastic one with the fold-out seats. I really like both, but 2 wagons seems like overkill, so I think I'm going to return one, but I don't know which one. #firstworldproblems

And I swear the same $25 Applebees gift card has been passed around DH's family for five years.

I really didn't want much, but have needed a new belt since having my kids/gaining weight/having my jeans sliding down constantly. I finally found one I liked.  I was going to describe it to DH so that he could get it, but he ended up working a ton. So, I just got it, but it was a bit small, so I got a different one in a better size too.
I also spotted a travel bag that I liked and bought it for myself (from him).

Christmas shopping for yourself is really easy!   Leave it to me to find a way to screw it up!

What?  Scrubbing legos glued to crackers and gummies in a car seat is way more fun.

One book is a collection of short stories by Margaret Atwood.  I couldn't get through the Handmaid's Tale and I'm not a fan of the short story format.  I'll probably give it a try though.

The other one is Museum of Mistakes: The Fart Party Collection.  I find comic strip formats to be really hard to read for more than a minute.  I can do a full comic book.  I'll flip through it though and see if it changes my mind.

Yeah, those have to go...

I buy all my own gifts... Thus why there is nothing to return

[Cookies Galore]

I have to give my compression sleeves back to my SIL to return. My calves are between the small and the medium. She bought small. I'm definitely a medium. Eep!

[Icelandic Woman]

Nothing! I got money!

[thyme4change]

I am pretty sure I am going to keep everything I got.  I got a pair of shoes and a pair of boots and they are both a little over the top - but I like them both.  I have to decide if I can pull them off.

I bought my daughter her first pair of heels.  They are cute, but I think we can do better.  I am encouraging her to think about them.  

Everything else is great!

[Deleted]

I didn't get much.  I'm out of the gift giving thing this year.   we still give birthday gifts, so since by birthday was Christmas eve, got a few pieces of jewelry that I love, cologne that I wear, coffee, gift cards.  Nothing that I would think of re-gifting!
