What to do with unwanted Christmas gifts this festive season

Christmas gifts are tokens of appreciation and love. But sometimes, gifts from distant relatives may not be what you particularly wanted or needed.

If you don’t know what to do with such gifts, here are some ideas:

• You can sell them and use the cash to buy something else, or just save the money for the New Year.
• Re-gifting is a growing trend by just wrapping the gift again and giving it as a brand new present to someone else.
• A much easier way to get rid of unwanted presents is by donating them to the homeless or to charity. There are many charities in town that are in need of Christmas gifts, such as various children’s homes or hospices.

All gifts should be ones that are enjoyed and appreciated, but in the event of them not being fully utilised, it is best that these gifts go to a good place.
