Am I the only one who thinks it's okay to?

Tell someone you don't like what they got you for Christmas? But don't get me wrong, there's no need to be rude in telling them so, but maybe asking politely for an exchange in the same store? I got presents for everyone in my family that I could afford (mom, dad, sisters, brother, aunt&uncle, and grandma). If they didn't like something I bought for them, I'd understand and wouldn't be so offended at the thought of exchanging it for something they like better. Like for example, my sister asked for a black men's wallet. I got one on amazon that had the highest ratings but was still manageable in price. I'd be okay if she would prefer another one and expressed that to me. Are we expected to know every single thing a person wants? Of course not. And if they don't like it, big deal. Just as long as they're not a brat about it, it's okay right (like wanting a white iphone instead of black, that is unnecessary)? And I'm only talking about something if it was sort of expensive and from a family member. If it was from a friend, I would never tell them I didn't like it. If it was a handmade gift, I would be thankful that they took the time to do that for me and I wouldn't say anything about that. But if it's an expensive pair of shoes or piece of clothing that you didn't necessarily ask for and it's not going to be used much, what the harm in wanting something you are going to use often? After all, the gift giver wants to make the receiver happy, right?

By the way, I'm a 16 year old girl that comes from a Christian family. I'm thankful for everything my family provides. But growing up, my parents have always and still are struggling with money. They want to make us kids happy and maybe it's different in our family, but if we aren't going to use something often, they like to know so I could maybe exchange it for something else that I will use a lot. Anyone have an opinion on this? I don't mean to come off as ungrateful and I hope someone understands what I'm trying to get at.

Added (1). I know it's not just about me… Obviously.

It's not just about you!
Be thankful and grateful.
Don't be selfish. Not at Christmas time.

I never do that.

Think about it from a different point of view… You work hard to get the bills paid and food on the table. You want tomuse your extra money that YOU worked hard for and spent long hours to get for SOMEONE ELSE not for yourself. That aside, I believe that it is ok for you to say that you don't like it, but don't make it seem like you just want their money, you have to let them know that you zre appreciative. Also, until you get a job you will not know how hard people work to make you happy, so remember that you should not try to offend them whatsoever. Thankfully most of my know that they are not very good shoppers and give receits with their gifts.

I would never do that. But, I guess you could? I just don't recommend it.

If you did not provide a list with specific items and store then you can't complain.People give gifts they think you will love and enjoy. And also what they want you to have.Unless it is a big ticket item then it is rude and no you don't have a good Christan attitude.Keep in mind Christ did not ask for anything, he was given gifts befitting his station in life.Merry Christmas!

There's NO polite way to say it… Ever. You learn to enjoy what you are given and use it appropriately.
