I also think you did the right thing - if it is not working for you then it would be better off with someone who would be able to use it. And if you think about it, since it was part of the NF event its not like it was TRUE gift as you also paid for someone else's fluff. So it is not like it as an actual real gift that someone gave you.
I'm having to decide whether I should sell one of Anna's pockets which I had ordered especially for her 1st birthday but has hardly been used because it just didnt fit her shape very well.
