I never return things! (I just exchange them if they’re not my style :-)

Seriously, jewelry and (the right) perfume are always good bets...

Well, you may choose not to call it returning a gift, but an exchange requires the return of the original gift. 🤣

My wife keeps the one I gave her, but then goes out & spends the money to buy the one she wanted in the first place. Which is why I know exactly which one she wants. It's not hard because she has told me well in advance which one she wanted. 🤣

Sometimes though I enjoy seeing the disappointment on her face, so I will buy both the one she wants, as well as, the inferior one that is along the same line. I'll give her the inferior one, and pretend I am disappointed by her lack of enthusiasm. After all presents have been opened, I will ask her to bring some form of snack or refreshment . Upon her return I will then present her with the one she wanted. 🤣

I honestly don't believe she is fooled, because she has me trained & she knows t. But she will play along to make me think I have gotten over on her. 😋
