When a family member buys you a shirt you detest?
For my birthday my brother bought me a shirt. Maybe his intentions were good but it was a shirt I would not be seen dead in. He questioned what was wrong with it. I said there was nothing wrong with it it just isnt my style. If he knew me at all he would have gotten me one that I actually liked. Has anyone here ever been in this situation or do you know how to deal with family who buy you stuff you clearly do not like?

My mom used to buy me shirts that I did not like, and she never understood why I would not wear them. They were either too big or of a style that I didn’t like. After a while I told her that I didn’t like them, and it would be better if she simply gave me the money to buy shirts that I actually liked. She did that, and I bought shirts I actually liked to wear with the money.

I always assume that if someone buys me a gift that they expect me to enjoy it and use it. When I cannot, I simply return it to them with thanks and I tell them I am sorry but I cannot use it.
No other explanation is necessary.
If they TRULY wanted to give me something that I could use, they would return it for something else and ask me what would be better. If not, then they may try to act offended.
And if that is the case, I can always re-gift it to them for Christmas or their birthday.
