Received a red packet after giving a gift - how to proceed?

I gave someone older a gift since I was visiting their home. They gave me a red packet because they thought the gift was costly. It was, but that's not the point.

If you don't know what a red packet is, it's a red envelope with money that's supposed to be lucky and given to someone younger.

I accepted the red packet before knowing it was for the gift, I can't accept money for a gift but I also can't return a red packet because it's very bad taste and it would be bad luck.

What do I do now?
