My oh and I are currently at opposite sides of the world and today is our anniversary. He had forgotten until Friday when he opened the packages I had sent with his gifts in and then he sent stuff quickly from amazon prime.
He's still asleep because of the time difference and so I peeked when a box arrived this morning. When I saw the label my heart sunk a bit. Its expensive, flashy, huge sunglasses that I'd never wear and didn't need. We've talked about this before when he bought a pair for himself and he really did know that I would never wear this style anyway, but in his trying to make up for forgetting a gift he's gone a bit overboard, with more still to come.
He's a high earner and puts a lot of focus on brands where I don't and I often end up with gifts that I think HE thinks I should have and not things I'll like. With that said he is the loveliest man and I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I can't keep these. I want to talk to him and return them, but what's the most tactful way to do this? Amazon does offer a return to gift card policy without the buyer knowing, but I'm not happy with how underhanded that is in this scenario and want to be honest.
