Wording to Decline Gifts
Be honest and do not be mean! If you do not like something for whatever reason, it is OK to tell the gifter, just in the nicest way possible. Here are some examples of wording to decline gifts:
- “Hey, I already have one of these.”
- “Thank you anyway, but we just do not have the room.”
- “That was so thoughtful of you but I would really love to exchange it for a certain color.”
Remember that honesty and respect is the best policy. You do not want to hurt the feelings of someone who is gifting you something. Be kind. Say it gently but, show appreciation for the best outcome.
If you do not like it, donate it to someone who will.
