Christmas Present Return?

I need advice please. I received a Christmas gift from my mom which I don't really want to keep. But my mom puts so much energy in selecting her gifts, that I don't want to hurt her feelings by telling her that I really would rather return this gift for something else.

She didn't include a gift receipt, so I can't return it without telling her and asking for the receipt.

Should I just be a "grown up" and keep the gift? I think she bought the item because she thought I wanted it because I mentioned it about a year ago! I don't really want the item though. I know this item wasn't cheap so it makes it more difficult to keep it. If it were cheaper it wouldn't be such a big deal to keep it even though I didn't want it.

I don't know how to handle this. Any advice?

Oh, I would have to invest money to buy a stand for the gift too. So I would be spending additional money on a gift I really didn't want. But I don't want to hurt my mom. She really works hard to make Christmas special. I don't want to be an ungrateful brat. I don't know what to do?
