You mean like a gold pocketbook?
If returning it is not an option, I usually ask someone I know if they want it. If I have no takers, I donate it to a thrift store.

I donate a lot of stuff. A homeless kid would love that. Or a kid with a home.

I would hang onto a Barbie. Just stowe it somewhere in it's box. It will be a collectors item.

I'd save it... It's something that you can give to your daughter or another little girl.

this is what I do. I normally ask if anyone wants in my family or friends. If not, then I donate.

If it is something somebody I know could use, i give it away. I am anti-clutter, everything else gets chucked.

Would you call CEDAR DRAWER BLOCKS A GOOD GIFT?
Ya know, those ones you buy in Bed, Bath, and Beyond that keep moths away?
Yeah, someone gave me those.

Did she give you the gift for the novelty or does she expect you to cherish it forever?
If there's no chance of her ever asking about it, I'd donate it.
I'm having the same issue with a Precious Moments "Bride" figurine but I do think the giver will expect to see it at my house one day.

Re: What about when people give you gifts that you don't want or need.
DH's aunt has been the giver of many gifts that make us go .. .....the most "interesting" was a 3 foot Santa dressed as Uncle Sam This and many of her gifts over the last 4 years have been patriotically themed as we were married on 4th of July......
What do I do with them? Quite a lot of the things she (and MIL for that matter) has given us are right now in boxes ready to be ebayed soon!!
