bother you

You bought a present for your friend. You gave it to him at a cafe. You know he takes the train to get home, and the gift is a little big for his bag. In this context, does this sound ok?
I hope it doesn't bother you.

Thank you.

No, it doesn't.

Try, "I hope you don't have [too much] trouble carrying it."

(Are you suggesting that he won't be able to get it into his bag?)

No, extremely unnatural and odd-sounding.
Say eg I hope you can get it home OK.
