Doesn’t like the gift, but want give it back

For Christmas, along with other gifts, I gave my boyfriend a stuffed shark.

He’s 24 and we had only been dating a few months.

I have a large collection of stuffed animals and when hed come over he’s always snuggle up with some and even sleep with them, so I thought he’d like it, plus he loves sharks.

A few months later I found it in his car and asked him about it, he said he was embarrassed because he didn’t want his grandpa to see it in his room, he lives with him.

I offered to take it back if he didn’t want it but he said he still liked it.

It’s now May and he’s moved it to the trunk of his car, I again ask if he wants it, and even said that I wouldn’t be mad at all if he didn’t, in fact, it hurts my feelings more knowing he just keeps it on the floor of his car. He again said he did like it, but was embarrassed by it.

What would you do in this situation?

The gift wasn’t expensive, I won it at an arcade, but I really thought he’d like it.

It also hurts that out of all the gifts I got him, he doesn’t use any of them, one he specifically asked for, then complain for 2 month cause he couldn’t talk on the phone through the speaker.

He’s now asking for two $65 shirts from his favorite podcast and I’m just scared if I get them all he will do is complain.
