WERE you given a Christmas gift from a loved one that you really didn’t want but now stuck for ideas on what to do with it?

The tree is down and now you need to dispose of some of those unwanted presents clogging up your shelves at home.

Here are a few tips from NetVoucherCodes.co.uk have revealed nine possibilities for Brits who get lumbered with a present they neither need nor want this festive season.

1. Sell: For many Brits who receive an unwanted gift this Christmas, the obvious solution is to list it for sale online – options include eBay, Facebook marketplace and other popular apps. Be careful the purchaser doesn’t see though.

After the festive season is over, presents you don’t really like can also be resold at events such as car boot sales or specialist fairs.

2. Trade: Many websites and stores, particularly in the electronics, technology and fashion industries, will offer some financial compensation in return for second hand products, or money off a future purchase.

3. Refund: If a discount doesn’t quite cut it for you and you still have a gift receipt, then presents can be returned to their point of purchase for a refund.

4. Repurpose: Finding an alternative use for a Christmas gift you didn’t particularly want is another sensible solution. For example, could ugly clothes work as pyjamas?

5. Swap: Do you know a friend or relative who has also received a present that doesn’t really suit them? If the items would be better matched to each other, consider swapping your gifts so you’re both happier.

6. Donate: A stranger could also make better use of a gift you didn’t want, so generous Brits could consider donating unused presents to charity. As well as high street charity shops, charitable organisations who could benefit include homeless shelters, food banks and those that organise home collections.

7. Re-gift: If you’re careful about where your social circles mix, passing off an undesired Christmas gift for someone else’s birthday present later in the year is always an option, or you could rewrap the item to give to a friend or family member during the next festive season.

8. Bin: If a festive present is completely useless and just going to gather dust in a cupboard for years, you could always throw it in the bin or recycling (as appropriate).

9. Reject: And finally, the nuclear option: reject the gift. If you don’t want something and know the gifter well, give it back. This one is only for the brave though.
