Did anyone get something for christmas they didn't like? I got a bath set from this candle store and it is green tea and rose. It totally stinks but i guess it is ok.

lol, yeh, I got a rose bath set thingie from work. It's well rough. Can't complain though.... It's the only thing I got I didnt' like, but then I hate people buying me that kind of stuff anyway. I'm picky about that.

Yeah selling, on ebay, all of those unwanted or unusable products is a superb idea! Not only are you geting rid of it but making a few bucks in the process. What a win win deal!

I've found that what you might think is total junk someone else might have been desperately looking for on ebay. I had an auction going on there once that someone offered me 20 bucks just to end the auction they wanted it so bad. don't remember what it was.

I've gotten my share of unwanted christmas gifts. I' get these from friends. They're usually lotion, perfume, or anything related to that. The easiest and best gift to give me is chocolate. That's what I like, an it can be found everywhare. If you get an unwanted christmas gift, just except it and say thanks to whomever gave it to you.

I'd rather do what previous posters have suggested and sell the thing on e-bay. lol Money is always a good thing. lol Can i have the unwanted lotions and perfumes?

You can always re-gift an item. Sort of related to this, an example of the difference between inexpensive and cheap is when someone gives you a coffeepot. Inexpensive is when you re-gift it. Cheap is when you re-gift it complete with a used coffee filter containg coffee grounds.

Yeah, I re-gifted a sponge bag I didn't want once. I gave it to a friend for her Birthday, lollol. I got a talking book I really didn't want once. It's still in its' wrapper, lollol. Really wasn't on my wave length the dumb person who gave it to me.

Examples of unwanted christmas gifts include lotions, perfumes, shampoo, soap, makeup, lip gloss, jewlry, and so on. I did re gift before. I got a gift bag from a friend I used to work with that contained bubble bath soap, lotion, lip gloss, and a chocolate bar. I gave away everything but the chocolate bar to my mom and sister.
