You Hate His Holiday Present. These Are Your Next Steps

You know he put a lot of thought and effort into getting you…an appliance. "You always complain about how wrinkled your clothes get," he reasoned as you turned over the travel-size steamer, "so I thought this might come in handy." And sure, it does. But what you had in mind was a little less practical and a little more sparkly. Here's how to tell him you're just not that into his gift.

Consider the sandwich method of compliment, concern, compliment. For example, "I am so grateful that I have the kind of guy who listens to me and remembers the things I say. I think I'm happy with my iron, though, so would you mind if we exchanged this for something I'll get a little more use out of? But, really, you are so thoughtful to try to make my life easier!"

If that's just too cheesy for you, consider a more direct—but still kind—approach. "I really appreciate this gift, but I don't think it's quite right for me. Would you mind if we brought it back?"

In either case, I think the most important thing to express is your appreciation for the time and effort your man put into getting you a gift. After all, it is the thought that counts. And if you can show him just how much his gift mean to you, even if it missed the mark, you'll be less likely to hurt his feelings.

Did you like what your S.O. gave you this year? If not, how did you handle it?
