My sister is pregnant (yay!) with their third child and my dad's coworked (very kindly) wants to make her a big personalized baby gift.
I saw a picture and I honestly said, "what is it?". To put it politely, it's NMS. To put it frankly, it's ugly.
Two issues come up:
1) She wants to personalize it with a name and my sister is keeping their name a secret from everyone.
2) It's a useless item (purely decorative, but like I said, not attractive) and my sister is like me, pretty minimalist and things have to have a purpose to get kept.
She doesn't want to offend the lady. But she would 100% throw this thing away. Is there any way to politely decline a gift like this? Is it better to say yes but I'm not sharing the name or is there any other way out? Hoping someone else has a magic solution that won't offend or be totally wasteful!
