So you’ve received a bunch of gifts this Christmas. Most of them are great, but there are a few that will end up in the corner of your bedroom, still in the original packaging, covered in dust... Why not make someone else happy with your unwanted gift, or receive some cash for it? Here are few options: Sell GiftCards Well, first of all, you could return the gift, but if you received a gift card - that’s a little harder. Well, you could sell your unwanted gift cards online. Sites such as cardpool and Giftcardrescue buy your gift cards for up to about 90% of their original value. And at GiftCardRescue.com card values must be between $25 and $500. You just enter the details of your gift card, what store it’s for, and how much it’s worth - and then site will tell you the card's "redemption value," or how much it is willing to pay for the card. These sites are also great to get gift cards with a discount, and most of them don’t charge for shipping or handling costs! So that’s a good thing to keep in mind! Sell it on eBay If you can’t return the item, you could try to sell it on eBay or Craigslist. Craigslist is free, and on eBay you only pay for the eBay fees and type of payment you accept. These sites always see a spike during and after the holiday season - so if you’re planning on buying anything - you can expect great deals right now! And if you don’t have the time to sell the items yourself - companies like ‘I sold it’ will do all the work for you. Donate it And then you can also donate it to charity. You could give it to someone else who actually needs the item - especially if you already feel a bit guilty about getting rid of it. Just go by the Salvation Army, Goodwill, or local thrift shops to drop it off . It’s a good feeling you’re helping someone in need - plus, it may earn you a year-end tax deduction. Website of the Day: Let’s Say Thanks And it’s time to move on to the website of the day, sponsored by moreshare.com . Today, I picked Let’s Say Thanks. This is a site that lets anyone show their gratitude to troops overseas. Just go to the site, pick a postcard, and write a message. These postcards are printed and sent oversees to greet deployed servicemen and women. And best of all: it’s free!
