The Chicago resident said the pair was on sale, and she paid just $2 for them. But she waited until the holidays to give them to her mother-in-law.
What she didn’t expect was to receive a message from her mother-in-law a few days later, asking for the receipt.
The garage sale shopper turned to her social media followers and said, “I have a predicament and I need your help.”

She asked for advice on what to do “when someone asks for a gift receipt for an item you bought at a garage sale.”
Viewers had plenty of suggestions to offer as they commented on the video, viewed over 177.7K times.
“Tell her you don’t have the receipt and that unfortunately they were purchased as an all sales final and can’t be returned. There’s no lie being told. She doesn’t need any additional details,” one said, while another wrote, “I would just say that I shopped all year long and unfortunately no longer have the receipt. I’d offer to buy her another pair and then list those on FB marketplace.”
“Tell them the truth,” another simply said.
She turned to TikTok for advice, sparking a debate on how to handle the thrifted gift
