One of my closest friends ALWAYS gives me gifts I don't like or cannot use. First of all, I live several towns away from her (two-hour commute) and have to take the bus/train to visit her, which I don't mind doing. She has a disabled child at home is why she doesn't come to visit me. Every year, she gives me big, heavy awkward gifts (she orders online) that I have one hell of a time lugging home on the bus/train. I keep telling her to either give me small gifts that I can carry or else gift cards. I told her my favorite charities also and she could donate to them. I am at my wit's end trying to tell this person to STOP buying big, heavy items. One year, I left a heavy gift she gave me at the bus stop because I just could not carry it any further. She never knew the difference. Money is not a problem for her so she likes to spend, spend, spend. I think next year I just may make up an excuse and not go to visit her. Why can't people LISTEN when you talk?
