If your partner gifted you something you didn't really like or not interested in unknowingly how would you react?

[Still-alive]

Lets say you are in a new relationship and your new partner gifts you something that you either didn't like all that much or just don't find interesting. how would you react in that moment? Would you still accept the gift? Would you still show appreciation?

I would still appreciate the thought behind the gift and still accept it even if i didn't like it and just inform them about things i do like more in the future

I would appreciate the gift and accept it but but inform them in that exact moment that i wasn't interested in what they were gifting me

I would appreciate the gift but refuse the gift. then inform them that im not interested or dislike what they are gifting me

I would refuse the gift altogether and tell them that i dislike or are uninterested what they are gifting me

I would have a different reaction (say what)

[Rosexøxø]

Okay I keep it simple-

if it’s hurtful / offensive/ takes away from my ‘daily swag’ and focus I’m telling them because as a couple we’re supposed to know each other and learn and not be fake or hide. We love each other for ourselves, right?

- I’d rather not have to get a refund on my man because he was being a fake… than getting a refund on the little item I bought him!

if it wasn’t offensive, I would keep that one obvi and make sure to tell him my favorite of what ever is my favorite lol

it’s also kind of up to those who are gifters, what they get. It’s the thought and if they were actually trying or believed the item was something we’d be totally ecstatic over/about. If they just grabbed anything and that reflects their character …

well … I hope I can use it because at least they wasted money on me 🤣

also my partner should know who I am- so I’d weigh why he would get something like a snack or so if he didn’t know what my fave was to begin with (we should be into learning about each other). Unless he wanted me to simply try his fave! and be introduced to that or try something new altogether.

————————————————
So it varies, but the simple answer is:

offensive- tell him nicely but truthfully/ have him return for his money worth. Hug over it if needed lol

non offensive- accept it (weigh the reason for the gift/ his intention / the value) and simply mention later which I’m fond with and ask him about his.

I voted diff reaction because it was easier and more catered to my specific answer

[Whatthefluff]

It’s a new relationship so I give them the benefit of the doubt. But I really would say it’s not necessary to give me a gift for no reason.

[Still-alive]

Would you still accept the gift? Would you still show appreciation for it?

[Whatthefluff]

I would still accept and show appreciation, maybe return the favor at that point

[MementoMori777]

appreciate their gift, they basically start a war tho, they gift me something they better know damn well they gonna get a gift back, as long as the war lasts its up to them, i give the last gift, its just the way it is

I went with option one, but with the other ones I couldn't help but think of this song. "What, SOCKS? *BAM*"

[Pink2000]

I would tell them. I’ve experienced this a couple of times. I don’t like little trinkets or anything like that. I want something I can do something with. Once he got me a heartfelt message in a bottle that he wrote and a cheap bath bomb set and a teddy bear made it roses. I didn’t like any of it. I said Thankyou but I told him later on not to buy me stuff like that.

[Still-alive]

ok but you never tell them the moment they gave you that stuff? you always waited until later to tell them?

[Pink2000]

I would usually bring it up in conversation.

Voted B. It's a nice thought but they should know what I like and what I don't like. If I don't say anything, he would keep giving me gifts that I didn't like.

[Still-alive]

But would you say it right in the moment or wait until a later time?

[menina]

I would say in the moment.

[petitedollbabee]

As long as it wasn’t something offensive to me, I’d gladly accept the gift and thank them for thinking of me. And I would love it since it came from them.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

If I had a girlfriend, I would accept what she got me no matter what it was, as long as the gift wasn't offensive to me.

[Koneko911]

I would love it cause it's something they gave to me to make me happy

[SnowedIn]

I'd appreciate it and accept it.

[Sparkie460]

I'd accept the gift. It's the thought that counts
