We get personalized gifts from my mom with mistakes all the time. I think she's just bad at typing and doing everything on whim.

I like all of them and still use some every day. For my baby shower though I got a couple notes with a promise of a homemade gift that never came. I think that's pretty bad. Just get onesies at TJ Maxx!

How does one return a colored bowl with no receipt?

This post reminds me that my parents' long-time cleaning lady gave me a couple of used/chipped mugs for my wedding. I threw them out but I remember the gift and I really appreciate her thinking of me. She moved away to live with family in her old age and then passed away and I wish I'd been able to visit her and attend her funeral, but we didn't have contact info.

Lots of people just don't understand or care much about gifting. I remember my narcissistic money-hoarding mother -- who would probably be described as "old money" by most DCUM folks who was living with my stepfather at the time who was blessed with a relatively high UMC income -- buying a stack of $9.99 Mikasa serving plates at Big Lots "for wedding gifts." Embarrassing as all hell, but it probably wouldn't shock anyone to hear that they virtually never got invited to anything so not a huge risk of them giving them all out. One or two of them probably made it to some couple, though.
But yes, it's much tackier to complain about a gift than to cluelessly give a cheap and/or inappropriate one.
Or maybe not cluelessly. My annoying cousin who dragged us all to Disneyland on a Wednesday for her "Dapper Day" cosplay wedding had a "cash only registry." I purposefully sent her a non-returnable gift from Etsy.
That's contrary to the spirit of giving, PP. It's not nice.
I'm fully aware of that, but she deserved it. There's obviously more to the story, but I'll spare you the details.

Things that were clearly regifted from their own recent wedding--they didn't like and not my taste at all.

Married 14 years and still adore all my wedding gifts. Nearly everything was off my registry. My guests only gave gifts for my bridal shower and checks for my wedding.
A few I returned: off registry wooden salad bowl from crate and barrel and the kitchenaid ice cream maker. I’ve never had enough room in my freezer in 14 years to fit that thing in there.
