HOUSTON – The holiday season is officially over, but what do you do with all of the gifts you don’t want or need? Before you hit the return line at the store, you might want to consider holding on to that item for future use. You can also tell the gift receiver that the gift was something you didn’t initially need or want. This gives you a chance to get the full amount for the card, versus an online service that buys back gift cards.
