It would be nice if some people could tell their reasons for their choice and how they are acting while reciving such presents.

i normally just sell mine on ebay ect...
or just give it to someone else as a present

Put it somewhere after accepting it.

Or if its worth a bit of money and i don't care for the person that gave it, i sell it, since i would never sell a gift from a close friend/family, i would only sell it if i didn't like em.

>_> Put it somewhere and forget about it. It'd be kinda rude to give it back...and if I don't like it, who'd want to buy it?

My, that's a bit of a selfish view...

(jk)

I usually find a way to use the present to my advantage. It'd be rude to just let it sit around and waste away unused. If I can't use it, I donate it to the goodwill. Everything I own ends up there eventually anyways.

Depends on the present, but I *always* accept nicely!

If it's something I know someone else would like, I give it to them (discreetly, so the original giver won't get his/her feelings hurt).

If it's something valuable but I don't know someone who would like it, I might sell it on eBay or something (don't think this has ever happened to me, though...)

If it's something I kind of like but don't have a use for, I'll keep it around for a while & then give it to goodwill or something. Sometimes I end up using/liking things that didn't originally seem useful.

I'll accept it but I probably may not use it.

It's someone's present after all even if I have absolutely no interest in the present. They put the effort in getting them for me, instead of nothing at all. I rarely buy anything for anyone because I just don't know what to get them. Therefore if someone gives me, for example, a piggy bank for some reason. I'll probably still have it sitting somewhere on my table 5 years from now, just because it's a present.

From a personal experience, a friend had offered to trade a present I got from my aunt for something else but I refused because it was given to me. I didn't buy it myself.

I chose "give it to someone else", and by that I mean donate it to Goodwill or some other non-profit thrift store that lets you dump your unwanted stuff at their doorstep. But I suppose that if it was something really nice that I didn't really want, I would either give it to another person or try and re-sell it.

I'll accept the gift and try to make use of it. If I can't and it's clear that some thought was put into the gift then I'll still keep it. It would be rude if I didn't.

I accept it, it's usually clothes, so I don't really have trouble with that.

A Re-gift is one of the rudest things to do.

Not if it's for a person you don't care about and if that person doesn't know!



Hohohohoh, I'm evil panda.
