My sister gave it to me and she usually has decent taste! AIBU to think this is the tackiest shite bag I've ever seen?

It’s not any worse than most handbags.

YABU. I get you don't like the bag, (it's not to my taste either) but given that it was presumably given with good intentions as a gift, could you not just discretely sell it? If I was your sister I'd be really upset not only that you didn't like the gift, but that you've posted about how much you hate the gift on the internet.

Give it to a charity shop. Someone will want it.

I don't like the brand name

Walking around with Floozie written on me!

The style is very 80s so maybe bang on trend for all I know. I was around for the first go round Grin

Just don't use it. Put in a drawer or cupboard and forget it.

It's not very nice to advertise your distaste for the gift on here, your sister may be a poster.

It's the floozie branding

There's a lovely charity nr me where at Christmas you pack an unwanted handbag with necessities and some nice things for homeless people. So stuff it with toiletries, socks, hats glove scarf, chocolates, etc .

Blimey that’s shite.

It’s a bit Betty Boop. And rather fugly. However the fashion is going very strange atm and rather 80’s. Lots of joggers, lounge wear and oversized jackets with shoulder pads / puffers.

My sister gave me a ghastly handbag one Christmas. I hid it in the bottom of the wardrobe for a few years before getting rid of it.

  1. Ask her for. receipt to return
  2. If she doesnt have one then donate to dogs home
  3. She will know that you hate it based on option 1.

I actually quite like it. Mind you I'm a fiend for polka dots. The only reason why I wouldn't use on a personal level is that it wouldn't really match with anything I've got.

God, that's horrible. And €25, you could get something nice for that! I'm not sure about donating it to the homeless, though. It could be the last straw for some poor soul down on her luck at Christmas!

I was once given a lovely bag. Exactly the size and style I'd been after.

But in the ugliest yellowy/green.
