I can excuse it when people don't know certain things. Like two coworkers got me a coffee much each. I have 10 already accrued through various means, and I only use a few of them as it is. Sure, that is something I'll either have to give to good will or re-gift, but oh well. These people didn't know I have so many already.

My mom got me a set of neck ties, when I have 20 already and only use them maybe twice a year. She then got me two winter coats when she knows I don't need them and won't wear them, because I have a jacket already that is good enough. These are just items that, while I appreciate the thought and effort, are immediately just going to be returned without me even trying them on or seeing if I like them.

This topic sounds like ungrateful whining, and it definitely is but I feel like most of the stuff I have but don't use are just christmas gifts i've gotten through the years because people need to get somebody something...it's rather annoying. I didn't really ask for much this year...because I don't need much that I can't buy already. But you still end up with a pile of gifts anyways you don't want or need that just kinda sit there unless you re-gift or go to good will.
