How to Find the Store When Returning Presents?

You might have to be a bit devious: ask your Dad where he bought your present. Say that you like it so much you are thinking of purchasing another one for a friend. :-)

However, you might run into a problem with returning or exchanging it if you don't also have a receipt. Most products are sold in multiple locations, so unless it's obviously a store brand (for example, Circo brand clothes are only sold by Target, Old Navy is obvously only sold at Old Navy), the store may not let you return it without some proof that it was actually bought at their store. Good luck!

I too, have received gifts that I know that I will never use. Sometimes, if you look @ the bottom or the side of the box (if it came in a box) you can see the label of the store. It may not be completely legible but enough to make out the stores name. Many times the price is also on that label & most people will try to remove @ least the price before wrapping the gift, therefore leaving the store name on. If this doesn't work then maybe you can re gift. Just make sure that the person you are giving your gift to is not friends or apt to socialize with the person that gave you the gift. I'm hoping next year to ask for either a gift certificate or to have a home made gift given to me from the individual using their talent.

Why not "ask" your dad where he got it? Simply explain how much you love and appreciate the gift, but, and isn't there always a but....

Why not try the National Geographic web site and see if you can contact them to find out who carries the set, or if they have anything you can exchange it for?
