[Margaret Pilkington]

If I get something that I cannot use, then I regift it...or I donate it to the heart foundation.

I hope that those who have given me something realise that this is best for their gift...my family have this understanding and I reiterate it every year.

If I give something which is not to your taste, but you know someone who would enjoy it...then pass it on....give a little joy to someone else’s day....that is what I tell my family.

Last year a kind friend gave me a large hamper of goodies....these I shared with my daughter and her family as I knew that they would get enjoyment from some of the larger sized products...being just two of us meant that it would have been wasted....I hate food waste.
