yes, he got it at Macy's...he NEVER buys me jewelry from Macy's...it has to be for me because he told me to close my eyes when he walked in and he bought his mom a locket with the boys name on it already

So how did you see it? Did you have one squinty eye open a little, or did you go sneak afterwards?

I saw it when he took a shower..I snooped...and it is just a plain gold bracelet that looks like O's linked together. i picked it up and it is really light and kinda cheap...and saw how much he paid for it.
It is NOT like him...he is usually good with picking me jewelry.
I told him what I wanted...i wanted a day at the spa.
So now how do I tell him Xmas morning that I dont like it without him being offended??

IMO, you really can't. the same thing happened to me on Hanukkah 2 yrs ago and when I said it wasn't my taste, he was SO angry at me. I just ended up keeping it, I never wear it.

I have so been there, a couple of times. I gently say in a way his ego can take it that there is a "so and so reason" I need to exchange it...

You tell him and know he'll probably be offended. I did this to DH on mother's day and while I felt bad I had no idea how he even picked out this gift for me. It was something I would never in a million years wear and he should have known I wouldn't like it.
Maybe he got you a day at the spa also.

Re: Im such a bad girl...
I could never pretend to like a gift. My DH would see right through that facade.
Just tell him it's not your taste and would hate for the jewelry to just sit in a box, never to be worn.
Plus...throw in that it is just TOO expensive...you couldn't possibly accept such a lavish gift.

Re: Im such a bad girl...
If I were in your shoes, DH would know that it wasn't really my taste. He would rather spend the money on something I really like and am going to wear than waste it on something that isn't me. I realize that not all guys react the same way, but I feel that you should be able to tell him, "honey, thank you for the bracelet, but in all honesty, it just isn't my taste. Would you be terribly hurt if we went back to macys together to pick out something that I will really love?"
