India
July 6, 2012 6:21am CST
Yesterday my uncle was back to his native land after his long years of job from Saudi. So I and my family members went to his house to see him. My uncle had gave me a lot of chocolates and a good shirt as an surprising gift. I was well happy and when I was back to my houseand I just wear my it. It was looking so long for me and it Seems that a joker with his clothes. I feel really sad with the shirts. Did any of the surprising gifts made you unhappy like this ? What was the reason fro being an unhappy one ? I don't know what to do with the long shirt. What should I do with the long shirt ? Please share all your views and experiences!

You looks like a joker? Let me think what funny gifts did I ever received? hmnn.. Okay, now I remember. A friend gave me a men's perfume, I think that friend just pulled anything and did not check the label before giving it to me...so it's fine :p

hi twb, You can alter the shirt so it will fit you correctly Actually I do appreciate all the things that was given to me even I don't use it I keep it because the essence of someone remember me and give me something is really a touchy one. Even you give me a stone if it is comes from your heart I will keep it. happy mylotting

I've always found ways to make something out of a gift I'm not fond of. Usually I give it to someone who would have some use for it. This goes true with big shirts given to me. I find someone whom I think the shirt would fit better and give it to that person. But if the shirt's a bit expensive (branded ones that cost more than $100), I usually have them altered. One last recourse is to sell the item.

I think altering the branded shirts is not a good idea. When the tailor alters the shirt it lost it's beauty. The shirt seems little bit boring . This is the one of the reason I am not altering the ones. Did you ever alter any of your good shirts ? How was the altering ? Was it fine ?

You can grow bigger and then wear it or make it a gift to somebody else and make him as happy as you when you first got it. Life is about give and take. I am sure you will feel happy when the person you give the shirt to is happy.

My uncle had given my such a gift to tell his love and affection towards me. I think I should give him something in return for the love and the gift which he had given me. I don't know what will be the better option for my uncle. What should I give to my uncle ?

Couldn't you wear the longer shirts as p.j. or something? I know about bad gifts, though. Class Christmases/Secret Santas are the worst. There I got like shower gel at 12 (I couldn't help but think that it's rude and it's like I smell bad and don't bathe which isn't true), a teddy bear whose head was almost torn off, chocolate with an expired expiration date and stuff.

Well What is that p.j ? I know those ones days with Santas were the bored situations of your life. If the authorities or the other ones are not able to do them in the right way then why should they celebrate those days. I feel it is better to keep mum. How do you feel ? What is your opinion ?

Hello thewonderboy It saddens me to hear that the gift of the long shirt is causing you grief, but it is so good to hear that your uncle was kind enough to remember you while he was in Saudi. It is so nice that he gave you the chocolates and the shirt. He meant well and he obviously loves you, so this is all good. Once, when I was a child, an aunt gave my brothers and I a cartridge to a video viewer, but no viewer. How could we watch the cartridge with no video viewer?? It was impossible. Still, we kept the cartridge and one year later our aunt gave us the video viewer. We were so excite! We were finally able to watch the video cartridge (we had saved it all that time in the hopes to view it one day.) Peace

I feel the gift was something different from others. I think you had enjoyed the use of it a lot. My uncle loves me a lot and I do the same to him. We just used to get in touch with all the time and this may be the gift for our lovely relations.

i have had gifts at Christmas that i have not always been that keen on and i have regifted them (given them to others as gifts) but if you see your uncle a lot, you may want to hold onto it and wear it when you see him. if you don't see him often, you could give away your shirt either as a gift or donate it to someone that is needy.

I cannot donate to others becuase it was a fine shirt which was gifted by my lovely uncle. He is too deep with me and this can hurt him and his mind. So I am just trying to keep them safe in my shelf to wear them later.

Long shirts are very much in demand here in the US because they stay tucked in much better whether you're wearing jeans or dress pants. If you just want to wear them outside your pants, hem them up. If you don't sew, find someone that can--it won't cost much because it's a fairly quick and easy job. I'm sure your uncle had the best of intentions, you are just a victim of fashion trends!

The shirt is looking much pretty but the size of the shoulders part is little bit lengthy. When I gave my shirt to a tailor he just told me it is a ready made clothes so it is difficult to cut it down and stitch it once again. More over if he do it it's style will be vanished from it. I think it is better to keep them still I am getting perfect as the size of the shirt.

Pass it on, give it to someone who is taller. Or wear it as a night shirt to sleep in.

Hi,thewonderboy, maybe I have the same experience as you. I still remember I have receive a strange box that can't be used. I was strange and I dinn't like it at all. So I put it aside and never use and see it.

wb, good to hear that your uncle is returned from gulf and bought a lot of gifts for you, unfortunately your surprise gift gave disappointment to you, sorry to hear about this. Don't worry dear, it will be apt to you after some time, just keep it safe. I received some surprise gifts from my wife and all of them are great, she knows about me well and provide the shirt for my size.

It's a long time my uncle is far distant from me. He was ignorant about my growth that will be the reason why he chooses such a shirt. Anyway I doesn't matter much to me but the thing is he used to remember me from the distant land and this is the one of the reason why he gives me a good colorful shirt
