Who gets the voucher?
Adult A buys adult B a t shirt for a birthday.. T shirt is too big. Adult C offers to swap it as they have a day off that week. Adult A and B don't. T shirt is now half price and refund is given in a voucher..
Who gets the voucher?.
Adult A who paid.
Adult B who had the birthday.
Adult C who gave up their time to return it. Albeit they offered.
I have already decided but am I fair in my thinking?

B.

I would not even question it.

A would be incredibly selfish to take it, as would C..

Because if B’s present was originally £50 it should still be £50. Just instead of a £50 tshirt B now has a £30 tshirt and £20 voucher. A would be very greedy to give a £50 gift then take £20 back!

No, person B's present was the t-shirt, not a fixed fee. Person B still gets a t-shirt. The change in price doesn't mean a change in present. If you wanted to get a kid a Lego kit and saw it for £15 in one shop and then bought it for £12 online, you would give the kid the Lego plus £3! The present is the Lego, not the budget.

Nope. We have a present budget to make it fair. If I saved £3 on the gift I’d buy a packet of sweets for £3 and put them in the parcel.

B, obviously.
