If you’ve been given a gift that doesn’t fit or that you simply don’t want, you might be wondering which brands are offering extended returns this year. Christmas is a time for giving, but – let’s be honest – it can also be a time for returning gifts. After going through the excitement of swapping presents on Christmas Day, it’s a huge anticlimax when a gift you’ve bought for someone or received isn’t quite right. Not only that, but it can be downright annoying having to return a Christmas present – particularly if the brand in question isn’t flexible with returns.

It’s always a good idea to check what their policies are before making a purchase, but it’s definitely too late for that now. Most retailers have a 30-day return policy, but some have generous extensions during the holiday season. Some even allow items purchased between November and December to be returned at any time before midnight on 31 January, so you probably have time to send your gifts back.

Below, I’m listing all the brands that offer extended Christmas returns and how long you have to send yours back. Next, read our edit of the best pieces in the Boxing Day sales as well as the upcoming January sales.
