In the life of people, there are many holidays and solemn events for which it is customary to give gifts to each other. Of course, it's nice to receive gifts from friends and acquaintances, but sometimes it happens that you don't like the gift.
How to properly accept a gift you don't like
A survey was conducted among readers of one magazine about how they react to gifts that they don't like. The largest number of female readers answered that they are feigning gratitude. One tenth of all respondents think about which of their acquaintances can then donate such a gift. And only a very small part of people, only 5 percent of the respondents, answered that they honestly talk about a gift they did not like.
Whatever item you are presented with, you should not criticize the gift, because the person tried when he chose this or that thing as a gift. This is especially true for sudden presentations. Just imagine, for example, your husband came from a business trip and brought you a beautiful dress. It seems that I guessed both with the size and with the length, but you don’t like its variegated colors. But the husband thought about you, choosing this gift. Still, the best option would be to accept such a dress and simply put it in the closet, with time it may be forgotten. You can, for example, donate or sell to a friend, and tell your husband that she liked this dress so much that you could not refuse her. If the thing just doesn't fit, you can try to redo it. Then it will be possible to vilify.
The best option would still be to wear this thing at least once in order to please your spouse.
How best to thank you for a gift you don't like
Of course, you must thank the person who gave you something. Say "Thank you" to him and add that you appreciate his attention to yourself. If you nevertheless decide to admit that the gift does not suit you, you can explain it in approximately the following tone: “Thank you very much for the gift, I am very pleased with your attention, but, unfortunately, this color does not suit me, and if there is a possibility, let's go to the store together tomorrow with a check, and I will choose a dress myself."
Or, just as neatly, offer to show this dress to your friend, they say, she will surely like it, and you can sell it to her, and with this money you will then buy yourself a gift.
Remember that you should not criticize gifts in any way, unless, of course, it is a specially presented gift of an offensive nature. You put yourself in the place of the giver, even if you know the person very well, this does not mean that you are one hundred percent guessing with the gift. Obviously, it will be unpleasant for you when a person says that your gift is not at all interesting to him and, most likely, he will throw it away or remove it away from eyes.
