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?

I know how you feel. I can't stand it when someone gets me something for the house. It never matches my decor. So it goes into the storage room, until they visit, then I have to get it out and put it somewhere where they can see it. It's a stupid game. I agree that a gift card would be great.

You really sound like a self centered snob! If this person is such a good friend why cant you exercise some HONESTY, As for the clown after me pulling the gift out just when the giver stops over because it doesn't fit in with your decor is a real head case.
