I despise my MIL. Return to sender or just accept and not thank her.

You're lucky you don't have relatives like OP's MIL. No, she does not sound really horrible. You sound naive and blissfully ignorant.

Hi OP!

Couplet Explanation:
The (proper) punishment to those who have done evil (to you), is to put them to shame by showing them kindness, in return and to forget both the evil and the good done on both sides.

I received a text message from MIL copying DH telling me about a gift she's sent me and when to expect it. I half expect it to be a blanket coughed on by a COVID-19 patient or similar.

Since I want nothing to do with this woman and definitely don't want to be perceived as accepting gifts from her, do I just write "return to sender" and put it back in the mailbox or do I just never acknowledge receiving it?

Wow!

You pick a response that is best for your marriage.

You mean the OP or the MIL?

The advice is about one's own behavior.
