My friend made me a crocheted afghan for the sole purpose of staying on my couch! I love it, and this many years later it is still on my couch (different state, different couch) but I love it, cover up with it, snuggle w grandkids under it. I think using it every day is a better way to appreciate it than for it to sit in a guest room on a bed that is never seen or used! Just my humble opinion, don't negate their appreciation because it got used!.. Linda
