[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are approaching retirement and trying to downsize our household and most of these gifts are just more clutter. I feel guilty donating gifts. I have shelves of boxed gadgets, small appliances, candles and bowls, glasses - unused. All gifts. Wasted money. Future landfill. We want to stop the gift exchanges except for grand children, but there are too many compulsive shoppers that love to shop. Stop the insanity![/quote] Just drop it all off at Goodwill. The giver got that the unwanted out of this, which was treating you to a gift and feeling good about it. Nobody will ever know what you do about it. You aren't obligated to find a use or a storage space for every (or even any) gift that comes into your house. A gift isn't a gift if it's burdening you.[/quote]
