All you really can do is say thank you and then do with the gift as you wish. I've also received gifts that I really didn't like or are totally not my taste. Eventually they make it over to Goodwill unfortunately. I've spent too many years having the unwanted items in a closet.

For example, we visited my husband's aunt in CA and went to a beautiful shop with handmade, expensive crafty items. There was a vase of gorgeous blown glass flowers, each one quite expensive. For Christmas his aunt gave me one flower. That was very nice of her, but it was way too long to use in a vase by itself. I'm sure she thought I could add to it, but I wasn't going to spend hundreds of dollars buying glass flowers!
