What are your thoughts on this? If something is just not your thing, is it alright to exchange. If you have purchased something for someone, how would you feel if they wanted to exchange it?

I'm just thrilled to get a gift. 😛 I don't care what it is, so I keep it.

If someone wanted to exchange whatever I got them, I don't think I would mind.

just to calirify Wynter, 50 quid is like 70 dollars. And plus, i don't think mum needs 50 pounds worth of meaningless bath salts and creams. And scented candles! Can't forget those.

I really don't have a problem with someone wanting to exchange a gift I give them. In fact, I keep or give them the receipt lol. I try to get something meaningful. If I can't find anything, I give a gift card.

Yes, but it depends on who gave it. If i dont like a gift and its from someone i really like, i keep it and just glare at it in disgust, lol. But i keep it. I exchange gifts i dont like given by other ppl (co-workers, etc). I once got a breast pump from a girl i used to work with, didnt wanna be associated with it so i gave it to my best friend on her baby-shower. I probably wouldnt care if a person exchanged what i gave them, but then again it depends on who it is. Usually i stalk ppl before i buy them things, get to know what they like, etc.

Thought you were poking fun at the fact that your a yankee but no. There actually is something called a Yankee Candle.
In the UK as well.
Still a bit pricey for a candle tho

The Yankee Candle Company

Christmas 1969. Seventeen-year-old Mike Kittredge, too broke to buy his mother a present, melted some crayons to make her a candle. A neighbor saw it and convinced Mike to sell the candle to her. With that small stake, he bought enough wax to make two candles - one for his mom, and another to sell. That was the birth of Yankee Candle. Yankee Candle has become the world's most-recognised name in the candle business and the best loved candle brand by sharing our customers' —passion for fragrance?? in every product we bring to market.

I was bought a beautiful necklace, however the pendant was large and more dress. I exchanged the pendant for something I could wear all the time. I asked if he minded first and feel it is better than having it sit on my tree most of it's time. I don't generally exchange but with an expensive gift, I prefer to get use from it. He seems fine with it.

I would have no problem with others exchanging that I have bought, in fact, I go half crazy looking for the perfect gift and normally nail it but not with my SO....he is so hard to buy for as he really doesn't want for much. Most of the gifts I have bought him don't really get used and I would actually have preferred he exchange for something he wants or prefers.
