Re: Geek Gifting Etiquette

Do you know anyone who would like the figure? Give it to them instead. If they ask about the figure, thank them for the gift and explain that you ended up getting a character you didn't like, so you gave it to someone you thought would enjoy it more. But try to emphasize that you appreciate them thinking of you, so that you don't sound ungrateful?

I don't actually know what kind of mystery figurine you're talking about or how much it costs.

So, I would suggest, as brightblueink said, emphasizing how much you appreciate the thought, you might approach the gift-giver and say that it's not your style and ask if they would like it back or (if you know someone who would like it) if they would be offended if you gave it to someone else.

Or, is it likely they'll notice it's not on your shelf? Can you say you're just trying to find a good place for it, if you don't want to deal with a confrontation?

Honestly, no - I'm the only one out of anyone in my/their/our geek circle who is into this fandom, that I know of.

you may be right about being up-front and yet grateful, thanks.

I say do this, and then give a small gift to the person so they have something tangible as proof that you did appreciate the gift.

It could be something like a nice scarf, some of them fancily packaged cookies, chocolates... something impersonal (unless you have a good idea of what this person would like) but that is still useful or delicious.

I would suggest something DnD related, but I imagine most of the things related to DnD that would be genuinely appreciated by a gamer would be expensive.

I don't remember where to buy them, but I think you can get chocolate polyhedral dice for a pretty reasonable price.

Really? That is pure awesomeness.

OP, go Google this ASAP.

Five itself is a fun cheap gift for gamers! My sister-in-law did that for her group. Also maybe a Giffard for a local game shop for $5-10. They could pick out a new miniature or pity it toward a new book. I know my group loves miniatures.

I didn't know this was a thing, but it sounds cool.

OP, now you have no excuse

And if not a gift, at least give write a nice thank-you note! Mandatory.
