Have you ever received an unwanted gift? There is a good chance that you have.
Usually, we are polite, say thank you, and do not mention that we didn’t want the gift. So, I had fun making funny thank-you cards for what we wish we could say when getting an odd gift.
Meanwhile, you may get a laugh out of these cards. And if the unwanted gift giver has the proper sense of humor, they might enjoy them as well.
Who Were You Thinking About?
When you get a gift, you may wonder if the person was thinking of someone else when choosing it.
Why This Gift?
Sometimes, you get a gift and wonder why the gift was chosen for you.
It’s Nice, But Not For Me
While the gift may seem fantastic, it may not be something you want.
About to Re-gift
Sometimes you get a gift and know that you will be re-gifting.
Most Unwanted Gift
When you are dumbfounded that this particular gift was given to you.
Polite, But…
When you are trying to be nice but want to call them out on the gift.
Indirectly Saying Unwanted
A nice way of saying you didn’t want the gift.
Now It’s a Hassle
When you get a gift you don’t want, you have the burden of deciding what to do with it.
Not What I Wanted
Maybe you asked for something, and they got you something else. It’s disappointing.
Gift Really for the Giver
Sometimes someone may give a gift that they want. They know the recipient will not like it and will give it to them.
Short and Simple
A direct thank you! No beating around the bush.
How to Say Thank You For an Unwanted Gift
When you receive an unwanted gift, you can write a polite thank you message without mentioning that you don’t really want the gift. The person may have spent a lot of time or money choosing the gift for you.
So you can say thank you and then figure out what to do with the gift.
- Thank you for the gift and for thinking of me.
- I appreciate your kindness! Thanks for the gift.
