Most of us have received at least one Christms present that missed the mark - a jumper that doesn't fit, a hideous ornament or a perfume you don't like.
Not every present is greeted with delight - so instead of banishing them to the back of a cupboard, how can you get rid of them without causing offence?
For Dawn-Maria France from North Yorkshire, the solution to unwanted gifts is simple - pass them on to someone else. She says right after Christmas is the perfect time.
She never feels any guilt for doing so and believes it is a more sustainable way of celebrating the festive season. "One year I was given some garden seeds that I had no use for," she says.
Rather than letting them go to waste, Dawn-Maria re-gifted them to a green-fingered friend. "It's a budget-friendly way to manage spending, especially during the cost-of-living crisis, and it's helped me declutter my home," she adds.
