[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes I truly wonder who raised some of you.  Come on, OP.  You don’t tell her not to do it.  You graciously accept.  You can give them away.  [/quote]

[b]It's not a gift when you impose unhealthy food on people [/b]who don't want it and you do it often. It's gross. She has a right to set a limit. If the person insists it tells you how disturbed she is. No need to play pass the crap. The isn't an old lady who is about to die. It's a grown women who is dumping junk. It's presumptuous to assume anyone wants this stuff especially on a regular basis. It's rude and disrespectful. if she did it once a year that would be one thing, but often? this woman doesn't value the health of her friend.[/quote] So, we should stop bringing wine to hosts, too?

I know I’m in the minority, but I don’t bring wine or any other alcohol unless it’s a very close friend/family member that I’m 100% positive doesn’t have a drinking problem. I’ve known a lot of alcoholics and I don’t want to unintentionally put an addict in a position where they could relapse. [/quote]

+1. I came close to sending a gift basket with a bottle of wine to my DD’s coach not realizing her husband [b]had been [/b]an alcoholic. Alcoholism had almost destroyed their marriage and ended his life. That would have been a terrible gift. Since then, I only buy gift baskets without alcohol. [/quote]
