Hmm… this is interesting to me. My mom is an aggressive gift giver but it’s because she’s a hoarder and when she goes hunting for new things at the thrift store or flea markets/yard sales she always finds stuff she wants to give me. It’s really frustrating tbh because I don’t want any more stuff but if I tell her that she gets sad. Difficult thing to manage.

Re-donate it, don’t feel obligated to keep things you have no need or want for.

From someone who’s parent is an extreme hoarder, it’s very easy to get roped into their madness. Learn to let go and don’t be afraid to offend, their pain is not your pain.
