[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am pregnant, FTM to be.  I have a friend whose youngest is in pre-school. She is a very thrifty person by nature and loves to pass things down and get things passed down. For example, she loves her local Buy Nothing group. She is very financially secure but just LOVES a deal; for her its kind of a game to be like Look look at this awesome thing I got for nothing!  I am kind of a minimalist and particular. I want what I want but I find clutter and things I dont want annoying.

Before corona and twice since, she keeps giving me random things she finds in her house that I dont want. Examples: 5-pack of Carters onesies in a color pattern I dont like, random bibs with written messages I wold never pick, a few pregnancy books, a used but washed crib mattress pad, some baby blankets.

In normal circumstances I wouldnt say anything and just drop off anything I didnt want to the Salvation Army or Green Drop but they are closed. I am getting the sense that I am her destination point as she is stuck at home cleaning out random closets and finding things to pass along. Some items might actually be items she GOT from the Buy Nothing group to give to me.  How do I kindly discourage her w/o seeming like an ungrateful jerk? [/quote]

If you want to remain friendly say nothing for now.  When it gets better you can say that you font need anything

However, if you dong care than tell  her you dont want anything[/quote]
