You’ve just unwrapped your gifts… and one of them just doesn’t suit you. Or maybe you already had it… If so, don’t panic, you can resell or exchange your gift without too much difficulty. Here are some solutions that may help you.
Resell a gift
Depending on the type of item you were offered, several reliable sites exist that can help you resell the unloved gift. If it’s a book you’ve read or aren’t interested in, or another cultural gift like a CD or video game, go with the Momox platform . By scanning the barcode of your property, Momox will offer you a cash value. If it suits you, you can send the item and receive the money.
If it’s a gift card from a store you’ll never visit, opt for the Placedescartes platform . All you have to do is fill in the characteristics of your gift card and you will then receive a purchase proposal.
In the gift where you would have received clothes, the Vinted application is perfect if you don’t like them. Here, you have to create an account with a seller profile, post a photo of the item and wait for a buyer. It’s up to you to send it though.
If one of your relatives gives you a gift of concert tickets that you cannot or do not want to attend: you can resell them on Zepass . This platform is dedicated to people wishing to resell tickets for matches, concerts or theatre. Registration is required to put your place on sale. Finally, for any other gift, platforms such as Ebay or even Leboncoin allow individuals to sell their goods. Buyers will contact you as well, if they are interested.
Exchange a gift
If you received a gift that you don’t like or don’t like, but you don’t want to resell it, you still have the option of an exchange. If you have the purchase ticket for the latter, you can go to the area where the gift was purchased and exchange it. You can change only the size, if that is the problem, or even change it for another item that you like more, provided it is in the same price. Otherwise you will have to add from your pocket.
If the gift was purchased online, be careful: you only have a withdrawal period of 14 days from the date of the order to exchange it. Otherwise, you can also drop off your unloved gift on an online donation platform. The Restos du Coeur, Solidarité Femme, Secours Populaire, many of them take back all types of objects and goods.
