Normally if I receive a gift I accept it, say thank you, look pleased and write a thank you note. Regardless of whether I like or want it. It's polite and what you do.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I think DH has bought me a new phone. Mine broke a while ago and I've been using his old one. I'm not keen on it but it suits my needs and is technically better than my original one. He has no need for it, doesn't want it back etc.
I don't want a new phone. It's £300ish (possibly more) money that could be spent on things I actually want (I would never spend that on a phone!).
If it is what he's got me how do I turn it down gratiously? Id honestly prefer he didn't buy me anything.
