Hi All,
Now that both Christmas and Hanukah are over the returns start! Trudging back to the store - assuming you have gift receipt that is - and then making your way to the Customer Service desk is what the day after Christmas is known for nowadays.
As such, here are a few sites that will help you make the trip back to the Target, Wal-Mart, Sears, Macy's, Kohls or wherever, easier, faster and less painful.
This first list is from Consumer Reports and is titled '

Time Magazine and Money Magazine have come up with this article - and posted on 12/25/14 - titled, '
Hate Your Gifts? Tips For Returns, Exchanges, and Regifting'. The section on regifting is extremely helpful and insightful. Read on!
Not to be outdone,
USAToday posted an article on 12/25/14 as well titled, '
How To Easily Return Presents'. Short, concise and nicely written, the article is chock full of advice like, 'unwrap carefully', 'give the gift of receipts', and 'know your online store policies'.
This next article comes from
NBC News and is titled, '

So there you have it - a few good, quality, timely links that will help you return the holiday gifts that are the wrong size, or wrong color, or just not what you wanted!
