Hm, what should one do when given ANY gift? Say thank you very much. I appreciate that you thought of me. I have a wall-hanging I got in a swap of a Christmas theme. Now ANYONE who pays even the least bit of attention KNOWS that I DESPISE that holiday with a passion. Did my swap partner think she would sway me to think differently? I hung it in my sewing room in an inconspicuous area and recently decided to pass it on to someone who actually likes that red/green holiday.
My MIL gifted me a hand-knitted pineapple coverlet. It was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS - but we have cats and I hated the thought of it being stuck in the closet in a pillow case. Gave it back although I HATED to. She gave it to her daughter who now uses it as a table-cloth overlay.
