    Consumer Reports News: December 27, 2006 01:35 PM

    In this year-end, special edition of the podcast, Consumer Reports Senior Editor Tod Marks – who has been busy posting seasonal tips on the Holiday Shopping Blog – joins us to discuss the dreaded, post-holiday ritual: Returning unwanted gifts to stores and online merchants.

    Some of the points covered by Tod include the new "Big Brother" approach some stores are taking to track customers who return too many items, "gift-card gotchas" and other tips you'll need to know as you try to return items, including big-ticket electronics.
