If Grandma places a sweater two sizes too small under the tree this year, you’re less likely to have to wear it next Thanksgiving. Retailers–hoping to encourage pre-Christmas sales–are making return policies more lenient this holiday season.

Saks (nyse: SKS – news – people )
Saks will exchange, replace or credit purchases that are in salable condition if returned within 60 days of the purchase and with a receipt. During the year watches and jewelry must be brought back within 30 days, but for the holidays Saks will accept these items up until Jan. 15, if bought on or after Nov. 1 and are accompanied by a gift receipt.
