Accepting A Gift You Don't Like - Do's & Don'ts

> You Do

Say, "Thank you," for any gift you receive

> You Don't

Claim to be truly excited by a gift that is not what you wanted. (Saying, "Thank you," is enough. Just make sure you don't roll your eyes and groan and say, "What made you think I wanted an old book about history?")

> Why

All you need to do is acknowledge that somebody has been kind to you. Simply saying, "Thank you," and following up with a thank-you note is all you are expected to do.
