I live overseas. It was my birthday recently and my mom sent me a gift which is not to my taste at all (it's a fur hat, and not only does the fact that it's real fur make me a little sad, the design is kind of ugly).

When I talked to my mom on the phone before now she said she'd spent ages picking it out and she was really excited for me to see it, but also that if I didn't like it I could let her know and she would wear it.

Would I be the asshole if I told my mom I didn't like it and I could send it back for her to wear? Should I pretend to like it and bring it over when I eventually see them? Do I say nothing?
