OK, I'm sure this might have happened to some of you more than once.
Let's say you're given clothes that you really don't like and you know you won't wear by a relative or a friend.

There are 3 choices

- Tell the person who gave you the present that you'd rather get something else, and request a receipt to exchange it for something else.

- Keep the clothes and maybe only wear them inside the house.

- Give the clothes to charity.

I'm opting more towards the last one. What are your opinions?

Two or three. I think asking for reciepts isn't classy at all.
I got a rather expensive presnet from my parents that I know I'll never use, but needless to say people's feelings are more important, so I wouldn't ask for a receipt.
3....

At least you know it's the thought that counts.

That's just what I thought, and I'd feel deeply embarassed to do something like that.

I feel like such a friggin' liar because my girlfriend's sister gave me a shirt from the Gap (second store I hate the most after Abercrombie), and she asked me if I liked it and I just pretended that I loved it, but I just didn't want to say I didn't like it and hurt her feelings.

As Jessica mentioned before it's the thought that counts and that's the best present of all.

..personally you should say...you had a terrible fire and some of your christmas presents got burned

re-gift it...spread the joy!
Give it to charity....The first one would be kinda rude...and unappreciative...and the second one would be fake...like why would you want to wear it inside if you dislike the clothes? lol.
I often use the the things in my house, unless it's something very tight with frilly ribbons ( "grandmaw, you shouldn't have" ). But charity seems like a more selfless option. :P

Charity is a good idea..or you can 'accidentally spill acid on it'.
...this kettle is boiling over... ...one dump...one turd...two tits...John Deacon... ...one prawn...one shrimp...one clam...one chicken!
a total waste of acid.oh i see what you mean now...
back on topic
keep the clothes but only wear them in the givers company so when someone else takes the piss out of the item you can point and say'they brought them' and embaress them.you wont be brought anything shitty again.trust me it works.you dont see me in a crappy cardigan.

Trauma Center (mine), Zelda (bro's and mine), Red Steel (bro's and mine), Call of Duty 3 (bro's, grrrr I want it), Monkey Ball (bro's and mine), Football (my dad's, lol), and some Marvel Ultimate Alliance game (my bro's). :-D

It's so sweet. I just spent two hours playing Red Steel. I can't wait to crack open Zelda. :-P

And boxing on wii sports, owns!

HAHA! Or you can do both! You give them to charity and when the person asks you why you never wear it, you give such cheap excuses.
