[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Donating the gifts isn’t the solution everyone thinks it is. That’s an entire activity: deciding who will accept the donations, scheduling a pickup or finding time to drop it off. Some donation places have inconvenient times. Some are too full to accept things after the holidays.

It becomes a whole unnecessary activity for the gift receiver if it’s too much stuff. [/quote]

^^^this is literally not a thing. I have never had any issue whatsoever dropping off or schduling a pickup, before, during, or after the holidays. You're making sh-- up. [/quote]

Where do you think donated gifts end up?  The US government has very successfully set up goodwill and Purple Heart to trick Americans into thinking donated items end up being used to make us feel good about buying more stuff. It mostly ends up in poor countries.
