If somebody is being a little too smug, bragging about a possession they have, or a club they belong to, or a school they are going to, etc., you can say with a smile on you face "Well, I'm sure you will be very happy with that."

It's nice and subtle, and said in the proper dismissive way, it's a real put-down without being vulgar. The implication that "you" must have something wrong with you if you are happy about such a trivial thing.
