It's hard to say. It depends on what type of person your sister is. Can you tell her that you don't care for the but you know someone else who might could wear them. That you hate to take them when they will only sit and your closet when someone else could use them?

Oh it will be rude to dump it! She gave it to you..if you do not like it... just tell her where she can exchange it for something you would like or if that won't work..just keep it and try to use it once in awhile.. it would hurt me so bad if i were your sister

Not always people who give us a gift know what we like. First, you should show to your sister that you're happy with her gift. Then you can ask her if there is the possibility to change it for another one. I think she would have understanding for your wish.

Hi and a happy day to all! First reaction would be sadness of course. But i havent experienced that someone dumped my gift for any reasons. I would rather like it that they give it to theuir family members. I appreciate honesty about gifts, if the dress is too large and it wouldnt fit them, then i will suggest they can give it to their friends or loved ones. Enjoy your day!

if i was your sister and i knew you threw the shoes i gave you, i would feel hurt of course because i would think that you are sort of thinking my taste is odd or not good. but then, if i receive a gift that i do not like, i would not throw it, i would still use it but only at home. i won't be using it if i go out. at least i would be using the gift i received.

Yes, definitely! I respect and regard the gifts received by me! For them the gifts they carry intimate feelings attached to them! So for me gifts are the attached with the emotional feelings of the people who presented me! Similarly when ever I present some thing I do it with lot of feelings attached to my gift! I really feel bad or sad if some one dumps my gift! But here the case is different! Since it is your own sister you can always have a talk with her and you can go to the shop where from she got those shoes from you and can get an exchange for the other pair of shoes of your liking! I think this will serve the purpose where both you and your sister will be happy! All the best! Thanks !

Hi ifa... I would not tell her anything rather show that i am happy with her gift although i am not in real. All gifts show endearment so better not to hurt her, just try to show that you have liked her gift. Have a nice time.

I would feel ashamed and hurt if someone would dump my gift. So if I were you, I would appreciate the gift, and because she's my sister I would tell her what I'd like next time, and then wear the shoes once in a while (unless they don't fit then she would understand why I had to give it to someone else).

Of course I would be so sad if someone rejected my gift. I felt it before when I gave a gift to a friend. The tops seems big for her. Well she was a little chubby before, I didn't know she will decide to really focus on losing weight. I feel so shy and sad about it... I guess it is better to let her know what style you really like in a shoes, but for the meantime try to keep it. Use it at least once.

I will accept the gift no matter how it is knowing that it is my sister who gave it to me. If I were in the position of our sister, I will get a little upset because I will feel that my effort is not recognized. Learn to appreciate every good things that someone is doing for you. It make will make both of you happy.

Ifa, your sister or someones, gives you something/goods, it has shown a special interest and as a sign that he/she remember us. The problem, if you dont liked her/his granted. Don't think about it anymore, ownership was changed. Don't be discarded, The giver will be sad. Find a reason, why the good, you gave a way to someone else.

I would be disappointed, if someone refuses a gift from me. But, if indeed a not like with my gift, I would understand, although I was disappointed.

I guess you have to keep them. I always try to remind my family not to get my clothes/shoes/etc as gifts because I don't know how they will fit (they might not fit at all) and I also don't know if they KNOW my style enough, you know? I've received things that I've never worn before and eventually donated. I feel sort of bad doing this, but these gifts were from estranged family that I only see about once a year anyway. Because it's your sister, I would just keep them - say, in the back of your closet or something, so if she asks if you still have them, you can show her them. You wouldn't want to hurt her feelings.

Well, just to be nice i'll just wear it once i awhile, and of course if i were your sister i'll be sad about it, knowing you didn't give importance to it. and if i am your sister, next time i will just ask you or someone what she likes or what she needs before i give some presents.

Hello Ifa, I will definitely be hurt if someone rejects my gift as i rarely give gifts to someone.But it is always better to know the liking/disliking of the person first before giving any gift to someone you love. If i don't like a gift someone gave me i won't show my disliking to that person as i know it may hurt him/her and sometimes we have to control our emotions for someone's happiness.

I don't like buying anything like clothing or shoes for another for that very reason - we don't know what will strike another's fancy. Instead, I give a gift card so the person can choose his or her own style, likes, etc. Wearing the shoes might make your sister happy, but you won't be happy. And isn't the purpose of a gift to brighten up another person's day or life or celebrate that person? If she is hurt, it's her problem, not yours. Yet there are delicate ways to deal with it. you could tell her, "That is so thoughtful of you to know I could use some new shoes! I'll need to exchange this pair for something that will go better with my outfits for work, play, etc. etc., but I am so happy you thought of me this way!". At least it's honest. Dishonesty never serves a good purpose. Do you need to dump them? If they are brand new they can be exchanged. If she gave you a used pair of her shoes, it's your choice to wear them or not because that is not the same as picking out something new for another.
