People had started listing their unwanted gifts on Ebay before 9am Christmas Day!

I don't think I got anything I didn't need/want.

Ungrateful bar-stewards, are there no charity shops or even hospices that would welcome something obviously brand new?

I didn't get anything I didn't like. I got some things I didn't know about that are excellent. A book about the kings and queens of England being one of them.

Omg no way. Thats frightening but funny. So I've bought a new house and ended up receiving 2 or 3 of the same thing so rather than selling. I'm thinking onward gifts to others xx

I had almost succeeded in stopping the stupid gift thing but over the last couple of years it has crept in again.

Everything I get is of no use to me. I don't need or like anything im given.

Don't confuse that with 'don't appreciate.' .... I appreciate them.

They go straight back into new paper or bags and are regifted.

They are given to raffles in work.

They are given to charity.

I wish people would get off the capitalist wagon and save their money or give it to charity.

If everybody stops spending, the economy collapses, people lose jobs, I don't think a star trek Eutopian society without currency is coming soon, so keep spending folks, keeps manufacturing up, keep people in jobs.

It's all shit though.

I never buy or use some of the creamy bath shit people give because they think they must.

I got a really expensive mug ... a fucking mug! and a matching mat..... I have NOWHERE to put the stupid mug. I have a cupboard full of cups and mugs.

It'll end up in the bag under the stairs with all the other shite.

Untrue. In any case the economy we perpetuate at the present requires an underclass of people living in poverty for many reasons. If it's possible to change that.... im in.

My cat has an extremely sensitive stomach, so was given a gourmet stocking which included turkey strips, salmon bites and cheese sticks.

He turned his nose up at all of them, the ungrateful little shite!

I personally think he is too lazy to bloody chew

I got the two things I asked for; really good eyebrow tweezers and a CD. My daughter stopped my son in law wasting money on something for me just because he thought he should buy me something.

If people are getting so many unwanted gifts, it’s time to think about why we give them.

I don't think it is though, in this lifetime, as evidenced by the government's propping up the banks last time. They'll do the same again, the underclass will suffer again.
