I think rejecting a gift you didn't like, BUT that fits your prompts and Yuletide requirements (wordcount and characters) and is not pointedly spitefic, is a childish thing to do. This is what "Thank you for writing for me" is for. You don't have to gush or fake anything. Someone wrote you a story. Thank them for their effort. It's polite.

Say, "Thanks, grandma, for knitting me this sweater." If it doesn't fit and it's a color you hate, just stick it in the bottom of the closet and don't look at it again.
