We've all been there: You opened that perfectly wrapped gift box with high hopes, only to be slightly underwhelmed by its contents. Did you unwrap a not-so-cute jacket? Receive a pair of shoes you'd rather swap for those Adidas Gazelles you've been eyeing? Get a kitschy dress you wouldn't be caught dead wearing? Don't fret. (Your BFF/mom/dad/brother/sister did his or her best!) Of course, you don't need to pretend you love the item—you can return your gift and get something you really like.

To help you replace your so-so gift, we've compiled some pointers on returning like a pro. From the apps to download to the best after-Christmas sales to hit up, we've rounded up tips to help you out. Plus, since we know you'll be searching for better items to buy with you store credit, we rounded up our favorite fail-safe picks to get yourself. Happy shopping!
