You received a gift that doesn’t exactly send you to the moon because it doesn’t go with anything in your tastefully decorated pad. Is it OK to turn around and give that gift to someone else for their birthday or other special occasion? If you return it, must you tell the giver? Would it be tacky to sell it on eBay?
There is no single, clear-cut solution to this gift situation, but it is interesting that according to numerous current surveys and studies, a consistent 70 percent of those polled said they think it’s OK to return a gift, regift it or even sell it online because engaging in the practice reduces waste and clutter.
