This is possibly the best idea we have heard all week.

Hands up who got a crappy Christmas present they didn’t really want this year? Go on, be honest.

You might have fooled your aunt Maureen with your fake smile but there’s no fooling us.

It’s not that we’re not grateful or anything but there is only so many calendars, bath sets and novelty mugs that a girl needs.

So, instead of letting your unwanted gifts sit gathering dust in your bedroom why not swap them for something you actually need?

It sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well, the good news is that it is actually true and very doable.

48 are holding a Gift Ditch & Switch swap shop on Thursday 12th January from 2-7pm at 52 South William Street. All you have to do is bring along your unwanted pressie and the rest is simple.

Once you arrive the 48 team will rate your gift with a number between 1 and 4. You will then be able to choose a new gift that is rated with the same number. It really is that simple.

We can finally get the present that we deserve without having to offend anyone asking for the receipt.

We will race you there.
