This is the reason I never give handmade items to anyone except my daughter, son in law, granddaughter, and brother and sister in law. Other recipients don't like them, feel burdened by them, don't like me and the item reminds them of that. The question now is how to dispose of the gifts without hurting the donor, a task that I don't believe you can do. However, if you must get rid of these items, offer to exchange them for a gift card or something else impersonal instead of another hand made item. Give them back to the makers, who may have liked them so well they hated to give them up. froggyintexas
