Unwanted Christmas Gifts - What to do with them?
« on: December 10, 2013, 03:52:52 pm »
If you received a gift that you don't quite like such as perfume na hindi mo type ang amoy, stuff that you know you don't need and won't have any use for, receiving 2 kinds of gifts, what do you do with them?

for me, i still keep it. or bigay ko sa mother ko. :) di kasi maganda tignan (for me lang ha), na ibigay yung ibang regalo na binibigay kahit gusto ko pa yan or hindi. masakit sa pakiramdam yun. happened to me once, though college na ako nun. nag effort ako regaluhan yung pinsan ko, only to find out na niregalo din nya sa iba. LOL. di maganda mag recycle ng mga regalo. eh nagkataon, yung pinagbigyan ng pinsan ko eh kakilala ko kaya nalaman ko. nakakahurt din kahit papano. so nung nanyari yun, i told myself na kahit anong regalo sakin. appreciate ko nalang din. importante, naka alala yung nagbigay.

^ i agree, last resort ko na yung pag recycle ng gifts, I don't want to offend the giver.. When I received a pouch last Christmas na halos magkapareho, I gave it to my mom kasi nagustuhan nya when she saw it, hindi dahil sa ayaw ko gamitin and the giver never found out.

This gift that I was referring to is perfume. And the girl who gave it to me, we're sharing the same office, as in nasa likod ko lang sya so she would know why I haven't used her gift yet.

I guess I'll just have to get used to the scent..

Give it to someone who would better appreciate it, or regift during someone's birthday or next Christmas. Or keep it because you never know when you need to use it.

give it away as gift to others especially kapag may kulang pang hindi nabibilhan.

Give it to someone who will like the scent on them (if it's perfume). or dahil officemate mo,spray it on a piece of cardboard sa office (keep a supply of it in your desk) itago mo lang somewhere na hindi niya kita yung piece of paper/cardboard that way if you don't like the scent you don't have to wear it but she can smell it ;D Kaya ako never nag-re-regalo ng perfume sa di ko close kasi very subjective ang perfume as a gift.Next time, DON'T open the box, go to a perfume shop and spray on the exact same perfume as tester on you at least kung di mo like yung scent, pwede mo i-sell or re-gift or exchange.If locally bought yung perfume sana lang nag-include ng gift receipt para mai-exchange mo without hurting the giver's feelings.Mahirap kasi i-resell or i-regift ang something na-buksan na eh.

I recycle them. More often than not, I bestow them to our maids. :)

They're usually clothing items that don't fit me or food that I never eat. I always try to give these away, sayang kasi. But I really do make sure also na hindi malalaman nung nagbigay. As in may warning pa ako dun sa pinagbigyan ko na si so-and-so ang nagbigay nito kaya don't ever let him/her see you using it. Naranasan ko na rin kasi na may nagrecycle sa gift ko sa kanya. Ewan ko ba dun, ang ganda nga nung gift ko, haha. Oh well!

In my case I re-gift it. I just make sure na sa other group of people yun mapupunta. Nanghihinayang naman kasi ako kung aagiwin lang sa akin yun. Better na may makinabang nang iba. Happened to me recently with what I got from our office exchange gift. I received a Hello Kitty fleece blanket. Ayun binigay ko sa 1 year old daughter ng care taker namin.

I normally would just give it or re-gift it to somebody.
like we receive wines during the holidays, hindi naman kami usual wine drinkers, so nakatago lang, naiipon na nga. So whenever we are invited for dinner/lunch, yun na lang hostess gift binibigay ko. I also receive a perfume gift once but I dont like the scent. I gave it as a gift to my hubby's cousin's wife.

Or i would send it back home sa pinas, atleast doon mapapakinabangan pa.

Every Christmas naman puro unwanted gifts nakukuha ko from hubby's family. I don't know kung bakit ganon sila. Sa hubby ko and sa daughter ko they rwceived Terno t-shirt from Guess pero ako lotion na Nivea lang. Nung nag grocery ako nakita ko P230 lang siya,mas mahal pa yung lotion ko from Derma. Yung isang bro ni hubby ang bigay sa hubby ko branded Poloshirt sa anak ko Barbie, sa akin yung free toiletries sa Shangri-la Hotel.. Paano ko nalaman? sinabi ng pamangkin ni hubby. Si SIL naman 1k pinaabot lang kasi umalis. After a week nakita ko yung gift niya sa gf ni BIL,(hiwalay kasi sa asawa nagka gf na), branded bag, wrist watch saka wristlet. 

Sabhin na natin na wag na akong choosy pero may pinaghuhugutan din kasi ako, ayoko na lang pahabain. Parang ang unfair lang nila palagi. May Christmas na dumaan na iaabot ko sa asawa ng bro ni hubby yung gift namin, nandun si SIL at bilas, biglang hinagis ni bilas sa cabinet yung designer bag na bigay ni SIL kasi pumasok ako. That time ang gift sa akin kung ano ano lang din. Minsan masama loob ko kasi kahit may pagka choosy ako, mabait naman ako sa kanila,marunong ako makisama. Parang di ko lang matanggap na parang bulls*t ang trato sa akin pag Pasko.

Marunong naman ako tumanggap kung anong kaya pero yung ganong sitwasyon kitang-kita kung sinong favorite kaya minsan di maiwasan mainggit din ako. Kaya di ko na sila gaano kinakausap sa fb ngayon kasi parang feeling ko di naman ako mahalaga sa kanila.

1. Ibibigay sa iba (sa mom ko, MIL, pamangkin etc)
2. I also re-gift (just ensure na sa ibang set ng people/group from the original giver... )
