Well said! I have 2 comments:1) as Debra said, giving with no expectations is great, which is probably why you like giving to charities. 2) Hope I don't make any enemies here, but my 2 cent comment is NEVER give a home dec item, like a wall hanging or pillow, unless expressly requested by the recipient. You may love it, they may love it, but if they think it doesn't go with their décor, it won't be used. A throw or bedquilt may not be put on display, but when it's cold enough, it will be used!
I usually just have quilts hanging around my house. When someone comments positively about one, it has just found it's new home.
