Answer by ticking your selected choice.

Accept it graciously and say nothing.

Grandma gave me pepto-pismol pink sweater (I think it was a regift) along with a couple of other sweaters I did not like. I probably still have them somehwere. :-)

To me it would depend on what it is. I would first accept them it and say nothing and then I would more than likely find a home that would want it.

I would accept and say nothing. Then, I would give it to a thrift store or charity.

I definitely accept graciously and say nothing. Actually it would have to be something really strange for me not to like it. Laughing

ok, count me in!! I, also, would accept it graciously & say nothing...then donate it to charity...OR re-gift if it really was an expensive or nice item that I knew who would really like it more than I.
