The Art of the Return

Santa didn't bring quite what you expected? Well, no one's perfect, right?

If your scarf was a putrid purple or your sweater a tad too snug, you can always practice the Art of the Return.

If a gift receipt was included (thank you!), simply exchange it for what you need. If not, shop around online until you find a store with the best return policy, one that has the item for the highest price (better exchange value), or one that has the color/size you need.

How to tell the gift giver? If they don't ask, there's no need. If they do, graciously explain that you LOVED the item, and leave it at that. If they push the issue, and you actually exchanged for something entirely different, be honest yet complimentary. It's the best policy!
