My mom once ordered me a Xmas present that was delivered in the original packaging so I saw it, told her it wasn’t gonna work out, so she returned it and got me something else in time for Xmas. Does that count?
No. If you get me a gift I don’t want I am incredibly nice about it. At least until I can fire up the wood chipper and dispose of you for this transgression. I strangely still have a lot of friends.
I returned a sweater my stepmother in law had bought me. It had a huge hole in it. When I returned it I found out she had gotten it on a huge clearance and was given about three dollars in store credit, !
I took my mother, the gift giver, back to the store to get the right size and color, found a better (more expensive) option, and talked her into buying the upgrade.
I have experienced Christmas and birthdays where I received duplicate gifts during the same un-wrapping session (both givers were present). At that point, being polite and pretending like you don’t already have one is out the window.
I may have accidentally re-gifted to the originator…
@PocketBrain they liked it enough to give it to you

No I just donate it after keeping it in storage for awhile.
I returned jeans that were three sizes too large. Liked the style so I just exchanged them.

@Tripod2 you now know your worth.

My wife’s elderly parents always just give us gifts of cash which we happily return for exchange at stores. Beats the hell out of fugly sweaters.
I had an ex give me $357 he’d won and then break up with me the next day. I gave it back to him telling him I didn’t want his consultation prize.
