The ethics of unwanted presents | Open thread
Many shoppers are taking the chance to return unappreciated Christmas gifts. Should they feel guilty about it?Boxing Day sales attracted up to 12 million shoppers, the highest number since records began. Many have been exchanging unwanted Christmas gifts for something that better suits their taste. If you don't have the receipt, or the desire to trek into town to queue for an exchange, other alternatives are available for cutting down on festive waste: donating, recycling, swapping and "regifting".But can you look your grandmother in the eye after regifting her homemade jam? Is there a respectable length of time to hang on to a present before passing it on? Have you ever pretended you loved those oversized pink silk pyjamas, only to swap them for a pair of headphones the very next day? Help us out on the modern ethics of dealing with unwanted gifts.ChristmasRecyclingguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2009 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
