I once gave my DH a pineapple quilte in red and white (her bedroom carpet was red) for Christmas. She opened it a said "My it's red isn't it" and never said anything more. I later learned that she was so overwhelmed by the gift she couldn't speak. She cherishes it, but doesn't use it. She has packed it away so "no harm" will come to it until her children are bigger.
Maybe I'm being nieave but I believe her?
