I would not be offended if someone didn't like my gift. What WOULD offend me is the example Kimberly gave - if the person was rude about it. There is a tactful way to say "it's not me" and I'd rather hear that and have them exchange for something they wanted than to hear something much worse. And I usually beat the receiver of the gift to the "punch" by telling him/her if they don't like it, they are welcome to exchange it - makes things a little easier so the receiver doesn't feel "uncomfortable" over hurting my feelings as they know right away I have no problem with their exchanging it. As for hubby and gifts he gives me, after almost 21 years of marriage, he better know my taste by now...LOL!!!
