First of all, great boss!

Second, I think you should tell him you loved it, but realized the color was a little hard to work with with some of your clothes so you're getting something different. Unless you could suck it up and keep it? Toughie!

First off, you have a great boss to give you Gucci.

I'd return it, when he/asks, explain that you found something more your style and use it everytime you're aroud him

Can you say you are saving it for special occasions -- you don't want it to get ruined being that it's suede. Or what about that it's a summer color? Chat Icon

Use it once, where he can see that you actually wear it, then return it.

just be honest, tell him that you appreciate it but you wanted to exchange for a bag that you could use more.

this could get her in trouble, though...if he asks to see it again. This is why when you give someone a gift--that's it. You don't ask them about it....that's rude!

that's what I would do- then you can always say you sister borrowed it, or something got on it and now you don't want to risk it- so you are only using it for going out etc

Re: Advice needed- with pics

Could you pretend you noticed something wrong with it and when you went back to the store they didn't have any more and chose something else?

If you do the use it once and then return it thing - I think it would be fine too. Same with the "after thinking about it and looking at your wardrobe you realized its just not your style but you loove Gucci" - afterall, he gave you the receipt so returning was always an option.

I agree with Christine. I'd tell him you love it, but it doesn't go with any of your outfits.

Nice Boss!! When you wear your "other" Gucci bag you can say that he "inspired you to buy more Gucci".

I WIIIIIISH I had a boss buy me a Gucci Chat Icon

I was going to suggest the same thing... let him know that while you love it, you know that you won't have the opty to use it very often b/c you have nothing that matches...

I agree-- anyone who spent that much money on somehting wants you to enjoy it and I would rather someone get something that they would use regularly than something that just sits in the closet.

Re: Advice needed- with pics

WOW great boss...


I would not go in once with it and THEN return it b/c then you are going to have to always answer the "how's the bag, or where's the bag" questions..


I 100% would say.. "I really love the bag, and I realized that you prob spent a lot on it so I am gonna exchange it for something that I can use it as an everyday bag"

HTH!Chat Icon Chat Icon


ps.....GREAT BOSS!!!!
