(NewsNation) — The party’s over, the cakes, cookies, and candies have been gobbled, and now comes the question: what to do with the gift you received but really didn’t want?
According to marketing data firm Inmar, about one-third of retailers are expecting to see between 11% to 20% of the items they sold this holiday season returned. Some estimates put the dollar figure for all of those returned gifts at roughly $170 billion.
