12 most returned Christmas presents
The holidays are an exciting time. People get together with their close friends and family to celebrate Christmas and exchange gifts to express their love, care, and affection. But unfortunately, many seemingly well-thought-out presents are returned to the store by the receiver. Check out this list of the 12 most frequently returned Christmas presents to avoid ending up in the cycle of gift giving and returns over the holiday season. Shoes While shoes are a practical Christmas gift, they are among the most frequently returned items. This can be attributed to two reasons. First, people are often gifted styles they do not like, and second, the shoes do not fit them properly. Since fit and comfort differ by brand and style, it can be challenging to gauge what the other person may appreciate. So, consider buying a gift card from a famous shoe brand instead. Kitchen appliances Many people gift kitchen appliances over the Christmas season, which often end up being returned to the store. Practically speaking, most people already have appliances like microwaves, juicers, ovens, toasters, and blenders and do not need a second. Unless someone explicitly asks for an appliance, it may be safer to avoid buying things like ovens or toasters over the holidays.
