Are you allowed to return gifts you don’t like? Is it ever appropriate to just give cash? An etiquette expert answers your top questions about holiday gifts. (via CNBCMakeIt)
We asked Post to weigh in on ways you can reduce your stress and efficiently handle 10 common gift situations this holiday season. The following answers have been lightly edited and condensed for clarity.I love this question because there is one very easy answer: What's in your budget? First, think about who are the priorities on your list this year. For some folks, their spouse or partner is the one person who they're thinking of and are able to really put money toward this year.
If you do have an awesome boss and your entire team just loves this manager so much, you and your coworkers might contribute to a gift for the boss or you guys might choose to do something like a lunch together, or something like that, to celebrate and say thank you.Some folks really don't like the idea of the gifts that they've spent time and money and effort picking out for someone being returned or exchanged for anything.
And it's totally fine. There's no hurt feelings. With other gift giving relationships that I have, I would just accept the gift, graciously try to use it if I can. And if it doesn't really fit into my life, then I just move on.4. If the recipient never uses the gifts you buy them, is it appropriate to ask them about it?That's a moment where I might choose to ask the other person this year what they really want.
You can bring up the idea of doing non-material item gifts or only homemade gifts. Bear in mind, though, homemade gifts don't always mean less expensive gifts. I really wanted to donate something in your name this holiday season. I've chosen these three charities and I wanted you to be able to pick which one you'd prefer that I make a donation to.I would not be trying to do this spitefully. This is not a way to get back at your cousin who is on the other side of the political spectrum from you.
