to keep or not keep?


Question Posted Monday December 25 2006, 2:19 pm

For my bday and christmas, since they're only 25 days apart, my friend bought me a pair of noise cancelling earphones along with a gift reciept in case i didnt want them. The thing is i dont know what i'd use them for.. i mean i know the obvious is 'block out noises' but thats what my mp3 player is for. I dont want to give it back but at the same time i dont see a use for it.. plus i'd feel bad if my friend asked me how it was and i had returned it. Any reasons why i should or shouldnt keep it? i cant make up my mind.. please help!

hey, she gave you the receipt. that means she knows that you might not have wanted them. she shouldnt feel bad if she gave you the option to return them. just explain to her that you dont see a use for them and tht your going to buy something that you really love with the money you get back for the headphones.

If you find you have no use for it, return it. She DID give you the gift reciept incase you didn't want them ; this is normal whenever people exchange gifts. People understand if the other person may not want it, and might want to return it in exchange for something they might have more use for. It's the thought that counts, right?

If she asks, just let her know that you really did like the gift, and thank her for buying it for you and everything, but you tried figuring out a way to use it, and you really didn't have a use for it. And you know how much they cost and everything and didn't want it going to waste, so you returned it. ( Or something like that ).

She'll understand. I'm sure she's been in that kind of situation before whenever it comes to presents and not having a use for them and wanting to return them.

I hope I helped.

i would suggest that you should return it. Even thought she got it for you. She also gave you a gift receipt, so you can return it. Thank her for the gift but tell her you dont need it. & when you return it buy something that you like & it would still be a present from her. Just be honest with her=]

Hope this helped, xox Esty

They are a lot of money, so if youre not going to use them, be honest with yourself and return them. She wont be offended. People buy gifts so that you will use them. Plus, thats the whole point she gave you a gift receipt. I say, take her up on the generous offer and use the gift receipt. Return the head phones and buy something you LOVE and will use a lot.
