We all get them!  Those dreadful gifts that a ‘special someone’ has given us with such thoughtfulness and care put into it, it hurts.  Well, it hurts us too to receive them!  I can’t emphasize this enough that it is perfectly okay to ditch those gifts!  The amount of stress these items can sometimes cause us, is outrageous!  Nothing is worth the stress people!  No, you do NOT have to keep it in a box, located in your basement and pull it out every time they come over!  I am giving you ‘permission’ to let it go!   Try and exchange it for something you want or whenever possible, give it to someone else that you know would genuinely benefit from it.  Otherwise, donate it.  The end result is this…if that gift is going to drive you over the edge just by looking at it, LET IT GO and do it quickly!
