[quote=Anonymous]I make a comment that _sounds_ like a Thank You but is not actually Thank You. Examples: what a beautiful shade of blue! Clearly, someone worked very hard on that beadwork! My goodness, pecan sandies are delicious, aren't they? This potholder reminds me of my grandmother's place in Iowa! In other words, I utter words that acknowledge the item in a neutral-to-postive-way. That way, the inveterate gift giver does not hear "JFC Judy, how what am I going to do with a potholder?! I've told you now, what? Four times to stop giving me shit" And then I take the item to the Goodwill at the earliest opportunity. There's a bin in my hallway for Goodwill. [/quote]
