How do you deal with an unwanted Xmas present?
We all get given Xmas presents we just don’t like – or could’nt even learn to like! Just what do you say to someone who has just given you such a present and is looking at you with a look of exitement on their face?

Thank you!
Then you re-wrap it next year and give it back.
I did that to my mother. Thankfully she got a kick out of it.
I say thank you and since I’m crafty, I figure out what I can do with it. I was once given a horrible sweater- thankfully, it made a wonderful scarf.
“Ooooh, that’s nice” “Where did you get it?” Perhaps, “that’s so…unique”, (then, afterwards look in the box to see if there is a gift receipt).
I would thank them profusely for the frying pan as I bonk them over the head with it…then when they “come to”,I’ll ask them what they’re really used for ;)
As in “Xmas be my lucky day”.
There is no such thing. It’s the thought that counts. They could gift wrap a lump of coal and I’d get excited to have made their Christmas list.
WhatEVER you do, don’t assume it’s a gag gift, and start laughing!
So can I call Christians, Xians?
Thank the giver very nicely and regift it next year or for someone’s birthday or other occasion. Alternately, you could just take it to WalMart after the holidays and return it. If they carry the item, they will give you a store card that you can use to get something else.
@erichw1504: Enlighten yourself!
When I get unwanted Christmas presents, I say thanks and try to think of someone to pass the gift along to who would find it fun and/or useful.
Pretend to love it, honestly appreciate the thought behind it, and re-gift it. Just be sure not to give it to the one who gave it to you.
Well. . . . . . . .I can USUALLY tell if the gift is “heartfelt” or a “dig”! And they KNOW that I KNOW the difference! If it’s heartfelt, I GENUINELY “thank” them for it and then donate it to a charity if I don’t want it! If it’s a “dig”, I just smile and thank them and “donate” if I don’t want it, either! I really HATE gifts for JUST THAT REASON! I HATE being a phoney! If I don’t like something. . . . . .I don’t like it! And I HATE having to “act” like I DO. . . . . .if I DON’T!
Usually I say fake it and say how much you like it, and then return it or regift it. If it is my mom or some other very close relative I ask them where they bought it so I can exchange it.
the return line at the local walmart
