Get in line: Forty percent of higher-earning gift recipients returned a present last holiday season, according to the National Retail Federation (the national average was 35%). Here's how to rid yourself of the stuff that Santa got wrong: Move quickly. Race back to the store with unwanted consumer electronics, says retail analyst Stacey Widlitz. Related: 12 ways you're wasting money Gadgets turn obsolete quickly, so stores have trimmed return times for those items in recent years (Target, for one, in September). Feel free to tear off the wrapping -- but for full credit, leave the box sealed. Recycle plastic. Turn gift cards from stores you dislike into cash at CardCash.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
