Today, my Dad came home with a $500 jacket that he'd bought himself for Christmas. I'd bought him the same one, and it's non refundable. FML

Screw it, wrap it and put it under the tree anyway. Teach him a lesson in patience.

You have excellent present-choosing skills, OP! Hopefully you can sell it or exchange it :)

Well now he's got two. Or you could use it? Make a positive out of the situation.

Caveat emptor. Live an learn. I would never buy something as a gift that couldn't be returned, unless it was one of a kind (like art or custom jewelry). To bad, but maybe your father can return his?

sell it

isn't there a law in your country that you have 14 days to bring it back if you have the receipt, and get your money back or at least a gift card from the store

Id say there would be in America. In Australia no store can refuse you a refund for 14 days especially if you vave a valid reason.

The country itself doesn't have a law for it. Businesses each have their own policy, and some places do indeed have a no return/exchange/refund policy.

This is why I don't like surprises... Hopefully your dad is at least grateful you were so thoughtful!

that's why it's stupid and inconsiderate to buy your self something for Christmas, before Christmas. some people have a hard enough time finding someone a gift. I know it was expensive, so he probably assumed no one would buy it for him, but still. sorry OP maybe you can give it to someone else.
