How to we say we don't want the 6ft Inflatable Christmas dinosaur.

A user on Mumsnet shared a post discussing their mother-in-law's gift of a 6ft inflatable Christmas outside dinosaur.
Her husband are both in agreement that they do not want a 6ft inflatable Christmas outside dinosaur outside their house over the Christmas period and have asked how they can decline the unwanted gift.
The mumsnet user explained
"Usually, when getting a gift you don't like, obviously you smile, say thank you, pretend you do like it but then either put it away and dont use it or donate/regift it if appropriate. Unfortunately, we aren't going to be able to do that because we've already got a text asking to see a picture of it up (it's not even December so I figure we've got at least a few days to kick that can down the road) and MIL lives locally so comes round to us all the time so will know if we don't have it up throughout December. She's also spending Christmas with us and staying for 5 days so I don't see the normal 'we love it' and then putting it away forever is going to work here.
We don't want to offend, but at the same time I really don't want a 6ft inflatable dinosaur outside my house from now until New Year"
