The easiest way to return an item you were gifted for Christmas 2020 is to just keep it. Someone or some people risked their health to make sure that item was available. But, seriously, you're probably going to Google a store's return policy, so let me save you some time. Here are brief descriptions of some of the biggest stores' return policies in the Rockford area. Consider this my gift to you.
