LAst Xmas, I bought my mother in law a very expensive purse. I thought she deserved it and had never had a good purse like that before. She said she liked it and thought it was very nice. I knew though she didn't like it. But thats ok. The next day, we went over for left overs, and she pulled me aside, saying she thought it was a very nice gesture, but its not something she would ever carry. So she asked if she could exchange it for one she would carry more often. I wasn't offened at all. i am glad she told me and then eventually she got one that was more her! And now she is sooooo much happier!
I think I would be more upset if she put it back in the box, and shoved in her closet and never gave it another thought.

That's a great example! That's what I'm talking about. Not being rude and screaming about it or anything. I would be offended if someone told me they didn't like what I got them in front of everyone in an ugly way, that's inappropriate. I just think the receiver of the gift should enjoy whatever it is or else it's a waste of your hard earned money!
