Some "diplomatic" or funny suggestions.
![Image for post In an episode of Tom & Jerry where they're attacking each other with fireworks, Tom is killed in a firework explosion that creates the 48 star U.S. flag, which Jerry salutes. He sends a letter, asking to send more cats. JOKE: Jerry has been on a cat-killing spree. Whenever he kills another cat, another star is added to the U.S. flag. Every time that happens, Jerry watches the [new flag] firework explosion, saluting the new U.S. flag. So that's 48 cats killed, now ready to add a 49th star. USA! The 13 stripes represent the first 13 cats Jerry killed & did so all at once. A real killer, amirite?](https://thumb.amirite.com/nw2Tfy02e9VLKZGIkGuGBSDLJ-4=/fit-in/432x0/https%3A%2F%2Fdata.amirite.com%2Fposts%2Ff5%2F29%2Ff4a1ad84550f.jpg)
I usually just say Thank you, how thoughtful of you. If it's from my husband we usually take things back if we don't like it, or the fit is wrong.
When I give a gift I put a gift receipt in with the gift and if they don't like it, they can return it and that's fine with me, I want them to be happy.
That's indeed the best idea.
Thanks, it saves a lot of hurt feelings.

I usually say: This is something I've always wanted! What a faker...! Ha.
I've received presents for my birthday and about 4 of them I dislike...and are stuff I will have to get rid of...
Why can't ppl just give me money?
Lol - it is not always easy to get rid of these "uneasy" presents, unless you find an "amateur" or another use.
And they could've given me money! (groan)
Lol - or vouchers for your preferred shops - lol.
Lol - that's what most say, when they don't know how to react.
