Not every present is a winner. As shoppers hunted for bargains this holiday season, some got so blinded by price they forgot to stop and think about whether anyone would want the gift in the first place.

Here's the good news: If you got a stinker of a gift, odds are pretty good you can return it, but you'll want to get moving in the next couple of days.

Policies vary by store, of course, and some gifts can't be returned, for a variety of reasons, including if they were bought too early. Here are the deadlines you're facing to return unwanted presents from holiday 2024.

You can return new items within 15 days of purchase, but only have 7 days for used items. However, any product purchased between Nov. 17 and Dec. 24 can be returned with receipt by Jan. 18.

Return deadline of Jan. 9 for purchases made between Nov. 1 and Dec. 9.

Return items within 90 days (or 120 days if you bought them with a Kohl's card). Premium electronics and watches, however, must be returned within 30 days of purchase and beauty purchases generally have a 60-day window. There is an exception to these policies during the holiday season, though. Premium electronics, watches and Sephora at Kohl's item(s) purchased after Nov. 1 can be returned until Jan. 31.

Return window for products purchased between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 is open through Jan. 31.
