OP here. I didn't create an account because I didn't think this would get posted. Thanks for making my day! I just wanted to clarify some things, especially about the olive oil and vinegar gift set. The father is Italian and appreciates a good bottle of vinegar and oil, I'm not talking about the regular kinds you can get at the supermarket, but olive oil that is cold pressed and infused with rosemary herbs, the vinegar is infused with dark espresso and they both gushed about it. Now, about the soap, it is not "fancy" or thoughtful, it was a square bar of soap (think Dial) in a Ziplock bag, the soap had no wrappings. Had I not notice the foul odor coming from the armpit area of the dress, I would have agreed that the dress probably just absorbed some of the smell from her house, but in this case, I highly doubt it. Also, the dress tag was put in through a thread loop, not through the fabrics, and the tag was already yellowed with stains. The Coach leather bag itself had a strong leather smell, but what I smelled was something resembling sweaty feet, the purse had dried white stains on it and parts of the leather was scratched up. Needless to say, you won't see me wearing any of those things on New Years Eve. Happy Holidays everyone!

You're entitled to your own opinion. If you're happy receiving some used hand me downs with very obvious armpit odor then good for you. I'm not going to get a present dry clean just because the gifter was not considerate enough to dry clean her worn clothes before giving it to me. In addition, I also have no desire to carry around a black purse with tattered leather and white stains. It is not a matter of being a bitch, but actually having a decency to respect the person you are gifting by makin

That is disgusting she would give you used clothes and a nasty smelling purse. Burn said items when you get home. And tell her you already have a nicer outfit picked up for the party. BTW, your dad has poor taste in girlfriends.
^agreed. What if they actually asked or wanted an oil/vinegar set...
