Any interest in a thread to swap your less-than-inspired gifts for something they want?

Nothing massively valuable or too heavy/fragile to post easily. I'm talking about the random screwdriver sets, teatowels and random bits of toiletries or kitchen equipment you'll never use, books you already have etc etc.

Post a photo and description of what you have to swap, and a few words about what kind of thing you would most like to swap for.

I do have something to offer but want to see if there's any actual interest from others before I post anything identifying (have name changed for this thread)

God this is horrible! It's even horrible tomorrow but fek me, on Christmas Day?

FelicityBeedle · 25/12/2021 14:52

@Kshhuxnxk
You’ve never received something we’ll meaning but misjudged, and you don’t want to upset the person and ask for receipts. I always think this thread is lovely, nothing languishes and people get something they really want. The less waste the better

Lovemusic33 · 25/12/2021 15:30

I like these threads, I have a gift to swap but it’s something that will be hard to find someone to swap with unless they like my interest 🤣. I got gifted a book that I already have. If anyone’s into foraging pleas give me a shout 😬.

Luckily I didn’t get any unwanted smellies this year, just tons of chocolate.

FelicityBeedle · 25/12/2021 19:15

I’ve got a large cream woolly cardigan (probably acrylic) if anyone wants one

LucyFox · 25/12/2021 19:42

I have an unwanted copy of “The Thursday Murder Club” by Richard Osman - good book but I’ve already read it! Also a mini Wasgij jigsaw 150 Pieces - #2 Picnic Panic (again I have already done this one)
Anyone interested?

I am in awe of the fact that you have never received a gift that wasn’t quite to your taste or in my case duplicate items that I would otherwise very much appreciate. As for it being Christmas Day, what difference does that make? everyone does different things & by this time here my elderly Dad is snoozing so I’m doing a bit of internetting to avoid making a noise/disturbing him.

4 ladies wool hats with Bluetooth speakers in..
What a waste of money but likely a great gadget appreciated by some!

giftswap2021 · 25/12/2021 19:56

Hello, I have a few things, I have pictures of anyone would like.

Wishes perfume
Ted baker hand cream
Snowman shaped water bottle
M&S make up bag
Radox shower gels in beauty bag
Felt advent calendar in the shape of stockings
M&S floral collection hand cream in a mug
Ted baker hand cream
Pecksniffs luxury Pamper set- very nice candles and lotions

Moltenpink · 25/12/2021 21:17

I have the Monopoly deal card game (duplicate) to swap, interested in the foraging book & cardigan, will see what else I have tomorrow.

FelicityBeedle · 25/12/2021 23:27

So I’ve got the XL cardigan, in an acrylic cotton blend. Also a sketchbook and what looks to be a set of acrylic paints. Some toiletry bits too I’ll list later, just minis though.

Interest in foraging book and maybe the pecksiffs set

DilemmaDelilah · 26/12/2021 09:16

@Lovemusic33 I would be interested in the foraging book but I see I'm not the only one (and I haven't got anything to swap anyway because I liked all my presents). @LucyFox I was intending to buy myself The Thursday murder club... Is it any good? I have a drawer in which I keep anything we have been given which we don't want - known as the present stash. If we need to find a last minute gift or a secret Santa present then we always have something in there.

giftswap2021 · 26/12/2021 10:02

@FelicityBeedle

Here is the Pecksniffs set.
I might be interested in the cardigan too, but I think someone mentioned it before me.

I received a very generous gift of Chanel No 5 Eau de Parfum spray 50ml. Unfortunately not a fragrance I like, swap anyone? Retailing in Boots at £86. Can't ask for the receipt to change

I received 2 copies of that book - we decided to wrap and gift one to our neighbour who we'd just found out was going to be alone on Xmas day, so she had a little surprise to open.

We couldn't ask her to ours as she won't leave her newly-adopted dog alone and our dog won't tolerate other dogs in the house.

zazzabeans · 26/12/2021 18:01

I love this annual thread and have had some fantastic swaps over the years!

I have

Julien McDonald silver trinket box
Milton brown plum bauble
Peach gin
Various chocs
Kiehls set

Chimley · 26/12/2021 18:04

Oral B Pro-Expert toothbrush with batteries (not one that sits on a rechargeable stand)

Colgate Proclinical 150 battery sonic toothbrush.

Both brand new in box never opened or used (asked for rechargeable one and got 2 battery powered ones!)

Swap for mint chocolates, smelly candles, craft lager or open to any other suggestions!

I have -
Tarte 4 piece set lip balm/lipsticks
Penhaligons boxed aftershave
Philosophy mini perfume selection box (think there's six in it).
Nuxe cracker
Bento box (really nice but I don't take lunches anywhere!)
Can post pics if needed Smile
3dogsnorth - what are you looking to swap for the perfume?

Newdad19 · 26/12/2021 19:29

I have a pesky blinders decanter set with glasses

Newdad19 · 26/12/2021 19:29

Peaky*

wineandcheeseplease · 26/12/2021 19:32

3 pack of trainer sockals, pastel with patterns but not my taste at all. Will swap for... Anything...!

Peppapigforlife · 26/12/2021 19:39

@Santahatesbraisedcabbage İ would love one but I didn't get any presents other than a pair of socks, a calendar and a keyring. Could İ buy one from you or send you something you might want?

Rosenborg · 26/12/2021 19:52

@Santahatesbraisedcabbage can you send a pic or link?

mummyof2boys30 · 26/12/2021 20:20

Does anyone know if you can buy an amazon or different gift card in tesco using a tesco gift card. DH was given £100 giftcard but the items he wanted to buy arent available at tesco

FelicityBeedle · 26/12/2021 20:28

@mummyof2boys30
I checked tescos website, looks like you can’t. Can you not do some normal shopping there and redeem the cash out of the food budget?
What can I spend my Tesco e-Gift Card on?
You can purchase anything sold at UK Tesco stores except for Tesco and Third-Party gift cards.

3dogsnorth · 26/12/2021 21:40

@Stuffthisstuff I'd be looking for something similar value, maybe a Molton Brown or Jo Malone fragrance
