[quote=Anonymous]This whole "love language" thing just reinforces people who do this. If people say "no" it turns into disrespecting boundaries. If the person is otherwise genuinely kid, I give a polite smile and say "thank you" and if I write a note, it's all about how great it was to see the person and nothing about the gift. I then donate. If it's a pushy relative who expects more than "thank you" and disrespects boundaries in many ways, I don't write a note. If they say "here you go" I might say "Oh...(put down gift) May I take your coat?" Then they mention it again and I nod and ask "May I get you something to drink." I don't engage with the gift part. The gift is the person and like I said, if it's a good person I let it go. If it's someone who is rude in another ways it's annoying because you not only spend the event trying to ignore their other boundary violations, but then you have this thing that needs to be donated.[/quote]
