I did accept it and said thanks, but I just left the gifts at my office for anyone to take. My parents said that I was stupid to do that and theyve been talking about it non stop about "how I should accept and USE their gift even if I dont want it" or "other people can use those gifts". This is the angriest theyve been all year over some trivial gifts that you can buy at the seasonal section at target.

One of them is some kind of wine, a few of them are those Christmas gifts with chocolate and coffee and a mug that you can find at target, and a few holiday cards.

I guess it seems like you are being rude and saying the gifts are shitty and not worth taking.

Those all sound fine.

Because I dont want any gifts but I cant say that... so I just have to accept them and say thank you.

gotcha, I dont really see much of an issue here. If it were people you actually had relationships with, like actual family, and those family members were mad that you did that, I would understand

I didnt, but my parents think leaving the gifts at the office for anyone to take is technically declining the gift. But I see it as someone who could use those gifts more than me.

Yeah I would've accepted them then pass them off to other people I know who might be interested just so I wouldn't hurt anyone feelings.

They're probably just upset because they think you were doing that to their gifts too

Giving food to others doesnt sound bad. But something like a mug or actually item, you should just take home and do whatever with it. Giving a item gift away is different then sharing in food like chocolate or giving someone wine if you dont like wine.
