Have you ever gotten a gift you didn't want?

Did he give you a gift receipt with the purchase? I give them all the time when I buy things for others so if they didn't like what I had given them, then they could return it and exchange it for something else. If you really can't stand it on your wrist then I would talk to him about it and ask if he wouldn't mind if you exchanged it. I am not sure how he would react though as nowadays, my hubby doesn't buy things for me and instead gives me cash to buy whatever I want when it comes to my birthday or mother's day.

Try using it as a decoration. lol Maybe he will think it is a chic wall deco or something?

Oh no Tammy that is a tough one I have to say I really don't know what you could do I mean would he be really upset if you told him maybe he would agree for you to have the Watch put on a Chain I hope you can sort it somehow Hugs to you

I guess you could tell him the truth and suggest he exchange it. Otherwise, I think you'll have to put it away in a drawer forever or wear it a little at a time so you get used to it.

A PINK watch? Please say it ain't so! I hate pink. So I will NOT help you with your problem, no way.....!

When I had my first baby ( many years ago) my husband bought me a purse. It was very big and brown ,more like a brief case and ugly. He bought this so I could use as a purse and diaper bag together. Well I never used the bag as it was too big to carry along with baby but I do still have the purse and I use it to store papers and things the kids gave over the years.

I would wear it anyway. I know what you say about your preference, but larger watch is very trendy and you may look batter than you think. It is not what you wear but how you wear it... Silver and pink would be my favorite watch to wear with jeans and withe shirt, would stand out as my perfect jewelry....

There have been very few times when I've gotten a gift from my husband that I really liked or wanted. I had to pretend that I did like it though so I wouldn't hurt his feelings. I've talked to him about how it would be a good idea if we made out lists of things we would like to have; like for Xmas, etc., but he refuses to do it. He says that it's not really a gift if the person knows what they're getting. I tried to tell him that I'd be surprised and happy to get something I really wanted and would use. So, I just have to deal with it I guess. It's the thought that counts is what I keep trying to convince myself.

Hello Tammy!:-) That must be a difficult situation for you. I know it is very difficult to tell someone that you didn't like their gift even when you TRULY appreciate their kind, loving and caring gesture. This feeling and thought comes right from your own caring nature. I also know that it can be hurtful to the one who gave the gift even when they know that it's just the object you don't like, while you still appreciate their affection and kindness. Getting a gift is a source of funny situations for me, but that's a long story. I think, if I were you, I'll take my partner in my arms and would tell her how much I appreciated her 'giving' me of that gift. Then, I would ask if she wouldn't mind if we changed it for something else as I don't feel comfortable with it. Knowing my partner, I am sure that she won't have any problem with it. It may, however, not work for you as different people react differently to same situation. I would like to believe, though, that your partner will understand. I, personally, give the amount to my partner so that she could buy whatever she wants. But, she ends up asking me, LOL! and insists on me going with her if I am with her, or asks me what to buy, when we are in different areas, as is the case now. I must admit that I am very weak in this area, the ladies shopping area, but she still insists. It gets me confused and I go about suggesting several things, some very stupid. Most of them, of course, are rejected, LOL! So, by the end, whatever she gets, it's by her liking. So, we have never needed to change a gift item.

Two years ago my fiance gave me a pair of jammies for Christmas. He is usually really good at knowing what I like...but these were a size too big and granny jammies!! I love the color and the material, so I wore them for a few months, then tucked them away with out of season clothes. I pulled them out a couple times, and then finally put them in the last yard sale we had last year. A watch is probably a bit more expensive and he probably pt more thought into it than jammies, so I guess this comparison doesn't fit. If it was a piece of jewelry I would be honest with him. My man wants to please me, and if he knows he missed it be a little, he will want to make it right. We would go together back to the store and pick one out together. Now, in my previous relationship, this wasn't so. I hated my engagement ring. I could tell he probably bought it on clearance, it was cheap, weak, and only had flakes. The only reason it was two tone was cuz his sister helped him pick it out. I lied and said I loved it, and regretted it for the next three years. It stuck out like a real diamond should have been in it. So I caught it on just about everything from my shirts to the babies clothes and my hair...OUCH. Bottom line, I'd be honest with him. Or take the revs suggestions, that's pretty genius:)
