Your FH would prob know best how to handle, but from the sounds of it, it doesn't sound like something you should return. She picked it out for you, and you should hold onto it as a memento from her.

WOULD YOU EVER WEAR IT OR CAN YOU WEAR IT IN FRONT OF HER?
IS THIS THE CROSS? OR IS IT SOMETHING DIFFERENT?

LETS SEE A PIC!

ALSO I AGREE WITH ABOVE POSTER- ASK FH ABOUT IT- IM SURE IF IT WAS EXPENSIVE YOU CAN EXCHANGE IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE!
ALSO - IF ITS WHITE GOLD MAYBE YOU CAN SAY YOU ARE ALLERGIC?
IM ALLERGICTO WHITE GOLD AND I CAN ONLY WEAR SILVER OR PLATINUM

GOOD LUCK!

My FMIL last Xmas gave me two pink shirts. I never wear pink, and I exchanged them. She left the tags on that they came from Kohls. So I got a gift card and gave it to my mother, whom I owed money.
My FMIL never even ask about them. The cross might be a different though. I agree ask your FH he would know what to do.

I'm sure she would want you to be happy-exchange it and let her know you liked it but you had seen something else there that you had your eye on.

IMO she may get insulted that you returned the gift....something that expensive means that she probably gave it some thought and probably thought you would like it... I would ask FH how to handle.

I agree. Especially considering you say you already don't have much of a relationship, you wouldn't want to insult her. Ask FH what to do. And if he says to exchange it, ask him to break the news to her.

keep it and wear it occasionally when you're around her. maybe you'll grow to like it.

if she spent that much and only got her own kids shirts, it seems like she put a lot of thought into it.

Wear it to her house, or when you think you will see her. Then she will think you love it, and she will never know the truth. Don't hurt her feelings!! Exchanging it for something else will hurt her, she must of put a lot of thought into it.
I don't like a lot of things people buy me, but I make the best of it. I have worn jewelry that I have not liked, just so the person who bought it, felt good about it.

If you think about it, it is no big deal. It is just a necklace. It is not worth causing a strain in a relationship you are trying to build with her.

If it is not something you like and you won't get good use out of it, why keep it around, especially when someone spent good money on it. BUT I agree with the girls above, I would talk to FH and try and find a nice way of handling it, he knows her best.

I agree. FMIL have VERY different taste but I usually keep the stuff she gets me because I feel she'll be insulted.

my FMIL bought me a really ugly Coach bag for my birthday. I returned it and bought something else. I dont think she ever noticed I never used it.

I agree with Sabrina. I would keep it-only because of this reason.

Re: Need your help.. I DONT LIKE MY ........with PHOTO

It depends on your relationship with her and the type of person she is. My FMIL would be mad if I disliked a gift and didn't tell the truth. My mom on the other hand, would get really insulted if I told her I disliked a gift. If your FMIL isn't the type of person that likes constructive criticism or honesty if it's a little harsh, then I would just keep the cross and think of it as keeping it for sentimental reasons. If your FMIL really wants you to get use out of it and likes the truth, then you could say it's not your style, and you two could go and pick another one. That way, she would learn a little more about your style for the future, too. It's tricky and you just have to see how she stands when it comes to hearing the truth.

well you can tell her its too modern for you?
that you like something more traditional and smaller?

maybe pick outsomething less expensive so she is happy to save money and you are happy to get sdomething different

sounds like she understands


good luck!

I think its really pretty...I don't think you should return it..she may get insulted

Re: Need your help.. I DONT LIKE MY ........with PHOTO

I would really not return it only because from your post, you said you don't have much of a relationship and it's an expensive gift, so IMO, she thought really hard about it and seems like a very nice gesture.

Even though it's not your style, would it be okay with you if you only wore it around her or something like that. Or like the other ladies suggested, if you can muster up the courage, have her go with you to go exchange it for something else. I would personally not have the courage to do that esp. if there is not much of a relationship to begin with and it is very insulting to go return without her knowledge.

JMO.
