[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, it's not about the hassle or money, I simply don't want to have to store any more stuff in my house. Maybe that's how your ILs feel too. I'd be fine giving gifts to others as long as I don't have to take anything home.[/quote] So it's about the hassle of having to donate the gifts you don't need/care for? In the unwanted gift scenario, grateful acknowledgment is due to the giver, then someone else benefits: a charity shop, another person. Did you know A Wider Circle has a "North Pole" every year? Most of it is for children, but there is a sizable "adult gifts" section, too. Some adult get very emotional when they realize they they, too, get a gift. Just b/c you are jaded, don't assume everyone is. Just send it along to someone else, but don't be ungrateful and tell everyone to save their trouble b/c they couldn't possibly give you anything you would need, like or want and to spare you the hassle of having to donate it. Geez. [/quote]
