as a present i bought him a gillett gift bag with gillett deodarant, shower gel, shaving foam, after shaving cream and along with that i bought him a wilkinson sword razor. when i gave it to him he told me that he can't use the doedarant because it makes his underarms sting and he doesn't like the smell of the gel.
then he told me that he wanted the gillett razor instead because it would go with the other stuff. the reason why i didn't get the gillett razor was because it was too expensive. now im a bit upset because he is not happy with the things i got him. does it matter if i got him the wilkinson razor and will it not work as well??

he is not ungrateful, its just that his skin is sensitive and i didn't know that he doesn't use that kind of deodarant or shower gel and he wasn't sure about using the product with a different razor.

He sounds very ungrateful - take the gift back from him and give it to someone else, like your dad for a christmas gift.

although his responses may seem ungrateful, they are merely him being honest. Unfortunately when buying someone gifts of a personal nature, it pays to do yoru homework to ensure you are not getting things the other person either does nto need or will not use. And with all the allergies people have to scented products now-a-days, those should not be on anyone's gift list; it's a matter of health.
I guess my response woudl have been to offer to return the gift bag and the W razor and get him the Grazor he prefers. That may well be a close trade dollar wise.
And before next gift-day, do yoru homework to find out what kinds of personal products he does use. Or why not just keep buying him replacement blades for the razor; he will always need some of those. And if he gets overstocked you could offer to help him use up the surplus by offering to shave some of his fun parts on a regular basis (yea, I know that was naughty - hehe).

The Gillette razor is a good one and although it is a bit more expensive I prefer it to the Wilkinson
But overall he should have said thanks for the pressie as it was a nice thoughtful and romantic gesture . Most deod will sting a bit so he needs to persevere . What he could have done at a later date is tell you in a nice way that he prefers something else to Gillette . Hopefully he will learn to be a bit more understanding .

you need to make sure he understand how you feel about the whole gift. I would sit down and write him a letter explaining to him that you bought the gift in the intentions of seeing him happy and showing him how much you care. For him to display this kind of behavior is hurtful and wrong and you will not be treated like this in the future over a gift. It would have been different if he went with you and you still bought him the things he did not want. I would ask him to give the gift back to you and you personally should not go and try to get him the things he wants. After you give him the letter you might want to spend a couple of days without him around just so he knows what will happen to him if her continues to act like this all over a gift a gift that was meant to go over well.

Would you rather he pretend to like the gift when in fact he doesn't because it irritates his skin?
Gillette razors might be more expensive but they give a nicer shave and irritates the skin less. And as for deodorant since you're not the one using it buy the same brand and scent that he is currently using....he knows what's best for him.
Exchange it for the right stuff.....essentially you are still getting him the same gift just different brand.

I think he has been very harsh with you. You should ask him what he wants next time. I would be terribly offended if I was you- you spent your money on him and he could have at least faked a smile. It won't make a difference using a razor from one brand and the products from the other. He's just being an a_rse.

He is ungrateful. He can buy it himself if he wants it. That was really crude for him to say what he said. Tell him you don't have the money to get something else. If you have the receipt, give it to him and let him get what he wants with it when he returns what you gave him.

random question...but since when did a Gillette razor get "too expensive"

He should have just said thank you and appreciate that you even bought him a gift. Next time get him a card!

They all have razor blades, therefore, they all work pretty much the same and do the same thing.
