Every year, Christmas presents are double or nothing. Sometimes a dream, sometimes the wrong thing, the presents aren't always pleasant surprises. So, to lighten the scowl on your face, we're secretly revealing the 12 best sites for reselling "poisoned" Christmas presents. To be consulted incognito ...

Christmas has come and gone, and the leftover treats are piling up in the fridge shelves while Maria has switched to silent mode... Time to get down to business! After taking stock of your gifts, you realize that some don't quite meet your expectations, outlined in the following: "My Christmas List 2025." At first, you aced the audition to join the Cours Florent: "Wow, how did you guess?", "It's exactly what I (didn't) want!", but once the holiday euphoria fades, the reality check hits hard...

Don't panic, you're not alone in this extreme discomfort, and there's a very simple way to remedy it! We're going into stealth mode to bring you 12 websites that sell Christmas gifts that are incompatible with their recipient:

  • A Fashion Dilemma, or Not...
    The fashion police have clearly been through here, making it nearly impossible to identify that suspicious item... A mismatched mix of prints, a bit tacky and overly colorful... Sure, they say everyone has their own taste, but let's be honest! Don’t waste any time—check out your selling rights on these top resale sites:
    - Vestiaire Collective
    - Videdressing
    - Once Again

  • Duplicated Books, DVDs, and Video Games
    Because you once proudly claimed to be a fan of a particular author, you’re now stuck with four copies of their latest novel! It seems your friends and family skipped the part where they check with you before buying Christmas gifts... Or maybe, like your mismatched dishes, they’re just preparing for the worst-case scenario—an extra in case one gets broken. Fortunately, there are platforms to help you declutter! Gibert Joseph and Momox to the rescue!
  • Unwanted High-Tech Products...
    When people say they’re never listened to, this is what they mean! It’s not the right color for your coffee machine, and what’s that phone model? Next time, think twice before adding these items to your wishlist... A little tip: others who felt misunderstood have found refuge on these two dedicated sites:
    Fnac (also books, DVDs, and video games)
    Back Market
  • For all the remaining odds and ends—decor, accessories, toys—they've definitely forgotten that your apartment is only 20m²! That's also why the "Christmas Wishlist" exists—to gather the main gift ideas, like a little roadmap. Yet, no matter what, they prefer to venture down the winding, uncharted paths of subjective originality. The result? A treasure trove of hidden gems making their way onto the digital shelves of platforms such as:
    - Ebay
    - Leboncoin
    - Vinted
    - Rakuten
    - Amazon

Another alternative to limit the damage, think of bartering! A method as old as the hills, in which you exchange your Christmas gifts for those of other unhappy shoppers. troc-cadeaux.com and consoglobe.com are benchmarks in the field!

You'll get through this, no doubt about it!
