[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandma did this in the last year or two of her life. It kind of felt like she was downsizing and divesting. Sometimes the stuff was cool, sometimes just weird, but I do think she put thought into it.

What sounds like the difference between that and OP's situation is thar from what I could see she did this for lots of people. It wasn't buying new gifts for most and then singling out one person for hand me downs. [/quote]

Thank you for your understanding.

Yes, you’re right. It’s the being singled out for used items that seems passive aggressive to me.

I don’t want to be the annual Xmas recipient of the closet clean out.

Then don't exchange gifts.

I experienced getting insulting gifts from one of my sils. It happened twice and dh let her know we would no longer be exchanging gifts. I don't waste my time. Also if you complain or insult a gift I give you, we no longer exchange gifts. Too many rude people who have no clue about appropriate behavior make gift giving a nightmare. In those cases, stop the game. [/quote]
