    Is it right to give back an X-mas gift?

    bought an employee some luggage - inside was a purse, perfume, wallet, watch etc.

    they me BACK the luggage - and it was nice luggage.

    I don't even know how to feel?

          Did they keep everything that was inside? Seems odd if you ask me.

            Very weird. Maybe they felt it was too valuable a gift, though. Giving too much can sometimes make a person feel very awkward.

                did they keep the stuff inside ??? maybe they just didn't need it and figured you spent some money on it so at least you could give it to someone else or use it .... that's better then them giving it to someone


                if they gave it back like i don't want anything from you ... then you need to let them go .. if they don't like you ...they can steal from you ...not good

                    Wow.... is all I can say to that.

                    Time to maybe make this person an "ex-employee"?

                    Harsh right before christmas, but.... wow. Handing someone their thoughtful gift back is, well, unthinkable and lacking in manners, courtesy etc.

                      Who the fuck buys luggage for a Christmas present?

                      Next year, buy them a collander or vegetable peeler to, thats just about as usefull as luggage.

                      Regards,

                              Who the fuck gives luggage to an employee anyway?

                              Let me guess, you bought blenders as christmas gifts to your wife?

                                After watching the Seinfeld episode on re-gifting, I'm not big on that either.

                                Remember the label-maker? :D

                                  Could they have a jealous significant other who they wouldn't want knowing that they recieve gifts from work? If so then it looks like they kept the small stuff but had to give you back the big stuff.

                                        Hmmm, it is strange to only keep half of a gift. But if they don't have room for it, perhaps they thought that it's was honest to give it back so that you could refund it for $$ than to just keep it and give it to someone else. You never really know what someone is thinking unless you ask them. Don't feel bad, I'm sure that the intent was not to hurt your feelings.

                                          I've never had that happen to me but that is fucked up. Keep it or just give it to someone else.

                                            That's pretty rude, Scott.

                                            Give the luggage to someone who would appreciate the concept of gift giving.

                                            How can they not have room for it? Are they living in a box? It's luggage. It's not like luggage is so huge.

                                                you can not buy everybody with gifts. Next time buy something people really like. Expensive doesnt automaticly means they will like it.

                                                  If I were you, I'd take that luggage and toss it through the guys window!

                                                          Very bad form, IMO. I get gifts every year I don't want. I regift them - making sure the person who originally gave me the gift isn't around for the regift ;)

                                                          Being gracious seems like a disappearing quality these days.

                                                            Is there anything we should know about the history between you and this employee?

                                                            This could make all the difference in the answers you receive.

                                                                That's very strange. I can't imagine giving something like that back. I'd suggest you open a dialogue with them again until they really satisfy your curiousity about why they gave it back. I don't know what kind of luggage it was, but I have to imagine if it was LV many people would just feel plain uncomfortable because it's no damn nice and expensive. Otherwise, shoot, who doesn't need new luggage?!

In any case, maybe consider this female isn't rude but there's a valid reason she felt uncomfortable with it and wasn't sure how to handle it.

                                                                                It amazes me how ungrateful people really are when receiving gifts. A GIFT is a GIFT, you should be thankful that the person even took the time out of their day to think of you, much less the money they just spent. Reminds me of why I only buy gifts for people when I want to instead of when they expect it.

It's like giving blenders to your wife or a brand new mop to a janitor.. Give gift certificates or a great bonus.. Luggage?!?! WTF??!?! What the hell was he thinking?!
