If you really think she won't use it then keep it for yourself. I think it's a great bag but what I think my kids would like and what they really like, sometimes misses the mark. If it's something I've bought I say, oh well and just regift it or donate it to charity. For your beautiful bag, I'd say Happy Birthday to meeee!

If you think your DD is not the right home just let it sit out on the counter when you have friends round and let someone else fall in love with it. I have lots of quilts that i have made that haven't had homes to go to. Sometimes it takes years for them to find the right place to be.

Give it to her as part of your gift -- your taste is almost 100% guaranteed to be different from your daughters. I think its gorgeous, but its not my style. When your daughter opens it, tell her that if it isn't her taste to give it to someone else who might like it, so she doesn't feel obligated to keep it. But I'd bet money she'll love it as its elegant, and totally different from anyone else's bag...you did an absolutely fantastic job on it!

It is a very unique and I think it's beautiful....I like the idea of giving it to her and saying she can give to someone else or you will replace it with a bag with her picking the pattern and fabric.
