    I got some stuff, as did the kids that we wont use.
    The kids recycle for birthday presents for school parties.
    I will give mine to the school raffles:)
    What do you do with unwanted gifts.

    Aha, I remember parties with that rule. Never really worked out well.

    Well I kept all of the things that my eldest daughter got, toys, clothes, things like that and they all go to my 5 month old. She's the "hand me down" baby. :) Ah no I do make sure to get her, her own new things too but I have so many things like clothes and toys that were barely used. She gets her own santa gifts and birthday gifts I wouldn't recycle those.

    I have a friend due a child in January and I asked her if she wanted me to pass the stuff on to her too and she wants them. Some clothes I got, the baby never had a chance to even wear.

    As far as Christmas presents go this year, I did recycle a bottle of wine which OH got at work, I gave it to my aunt. I dont really drink wine and it was one she likes so I was going to buy her it anyway.

    I got money and I donated €100 euro of it to care for a cat that was abused and beaten over the Christmas (thankfully survived..just) rest into the bank, so kind of recycling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,003 ✭✭✭Hammer89


    I got a bike and I intend to use it again so technically I'll be recycling it.

    Did it have a purse?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,624 ✭✭✭✭meeeeh


    Some alcohol. We don't drink many spirits and I would get rid of cheap wine but I am a bit too embarrassed to pass it on.

    No.

    Happy with the few bits I got this year.

    However, there's a wan on Facebook trying to recycle a pup - their poor child is "allergic"
    :(

    The only presents that have not got a run out are two boxes of Liquors. There is no space in my christmas holiday indulgence to fit them in my belly.
    But they have a very long expiry date...so will shelve them for a while. A long while.


  • Posts: 50,630 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I did give a bottle of wine received from a supplier, to one of our delivery drivers. That's about as recycley as I'm likely to get this christmas.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,694 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    Since I came to the agreement with my siblings not to buy each other presents, I haven't had any awful presents to recycle


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    local charity shops will get some of mine

    ....hope none of the donors see them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,731 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    I'll recycle the empty bottles.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,601 ✭✭✭Gaygooner


    Didn't get anything I would consider to recycle


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,389 ✭✭✭NachoBusiness


    Stuck a few things on Adverts.

    Actually, having an 'unwanted gift' email alert on Adverts this time of year can pay dividends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,111 ✭✭✭Jamaican Me Crazy


    I was given a gift of an enormous turkey and ham on Christmas eve but I was only feeding 3 people and had already bought small ones so we called the local priest and he said he would get the spare ones to a family in need.

    I didn't get any gifts I didn't want to will be keeping everything else.
