I built my Uncle a web page for a mortgage product he's marketing (it's a single page), and came home today to find this on my doorstep from Amazon

I was doing the site for free. I haven't brought myself to even open it yet, thinking I should return it, but I'm not sure if it would hurt his feelings. I'm flabbergasted that he would buy something this extravagant for me, but how do you tell someone you can't accept a gift? It would be almost rude to return it? Right?

how awesome (for both of you) b! was spot on for the advice IMHO -- nm - JenBro Sep 10, 23:01
first off, the gift was very nice for him to do. In the long run, the work you did, will be worth far more than the cost of the fancy runners watch. - peglegpete Sep 10, 22:14 2

"wow, your gift was a total surprise - I was happy just to be able to help you, but I appreciate your thoughtfulness." - b! Sep 10, 22:13 1
- heh. This is literally 3 sentences taken from the email I sent him tonight. - JaxSean Sep 10, 22:40
