What do you say when you want to reject a gift without offending anyone?


If you are offered something that you don't want, what do you say to reject it
politely?




I will say like 申し訳ないけど、～なので受け取れないんです。

I think you should explain the reason why you reject the gift. For example, if
I am presented a whole cake and reject it, I will say like
申し訳ないけど、ダイエット中なので受け取れないんです。
