Men and presents (lingerie) - oh God

Appeal to all men: DO NOT BUY LINGERIE unless u know exactly what your OH wants/likes!

This must have been done to death at this time of the year but I don't know how to get over it.

My birthday cum Christmas present combined, a present from a new man. I have already opened it, pretended how happy I was but I hate EVERYTHING about it.

To top it all, can't change it and the cost is £££, I would never want it even if it was £. I expect sales assistant talked him into buying the slowest selling product in the shop. It's not bloody gold plated or even silk and it certainly does t look the price AT ALL.

OMG, when I looked up how much it was, i cried (in private), so upset about the waste. How do i tactfully handle it?

Crikey, around £290 on something you say is, 'Not monstrosity exactly but v v plain/basic looking, certainly not worth the money and not my style at all'? That's quite strange.
