Okay, so you didn’t get exactly what you wanted for Christmas or Hanukkah. So what’s a cheapskate supposed to do? Below I share five options to deal with unwanted Christmas gifts and gift card.
Re-gifting
I’m not a fan of re-gifting because I’ve received really bad gifts. But, I confess I’ve done it – the right way. The trick is to make sure you pass the gift to the appropriate person that will appreciate it. When done properly, it

I find teens are the easiest people to buy presents for because when you ask them what they want, they have a long list! Day five of the Bargain Babe Hot Holiday Gift Guide is devoted to buying for these almost-adults.
We’ve also suggested electronics gifts, gifts at Sears, toys for kids, and mens’ shavers. Coming up are gifts for kids, teens, men, and women. There will also be a day devoted to unique and quirky gifts, and we’ll finish the gift guide on Dec. 9 with a roundup of the best overall gifts.

Win $100 of holiday cards from DaySpring!
I’ve sent holiday ecards, traditional paper cards, and skipped the whole process some years. But there’s nothing like hearing from friends and family. Sometimes hearing from folks I’m no longer in touch with (except for their holiday letter) are the ones I enjoy the most.
My husband thinks it’s ridiculous that people only get in touch because it’s Christmas. But he’s just being grumpy. Wouldn’t you rather hear from friends and family than not at all? I can promise you my holiday card this year is going to be devoted to my little bun (who is still in the oven).
Spend not a penny on high-quality holiday cards from DaySpring by entering to win this giveaway!

This post brought to you by Cardpool, your source for discounted online gift cards.
No idea why I did not register for discounted gift card alerts until now. Buying gift cards online at a steep discount – up to 30% off the face value – is a quick and easy way to save. Combine coupons with a gift card you bought on sale and – WHAM! – huge savings. With a discounted gift card, I can easily bump up my over all savings to 50% off. Here’s what I did.
1. Register at Plastic Jungle, Gift Card Rescue or another site that sells (and often buys) gift cards at a discount. Both PJ and GCR guarantee the transactions, though it’s savvy to read the fine print so you know the refund process is if something goes wrong. I prefer Plastic Jungle because it has a bigger selection of cards than Gift Card Rescue, and also because I’m an affiliate so I earn a small commission if others use my link.
2. Set up email alerts for retailers you regularly shop at. I signed up for
