Ay- I've been there before, but I have learned some valuable things:
a- don't expect someone to like it
b- tell them how you feel if they seem unappreciative and that there are nicer ways of saying it doesn't work/not practical, etc.
c- they need to be thankful of your thoughtfulness
d- don't be sensitive, but share your feelings
e- the best gifts of all aren't objects
Talk with him and let him know how you feel. And what you could possibly try next time is to really dig for info that will help get the exact gift he wants/needs, if you wish to do so.
