Threw away some wedding gifts
DH's cousin (she's at least 50) gave us some truly hideous towels from who knows where, no receipt, tags half ripped off, etc. They've sat in the box for weeks now and I finally decided to just throw them away. They were the super decorative towels that were overly embroidered with lots of tassels on the ends so they wouldn't make good cleaning towels either. We considered giving them to one of our moms but they wouldn't have gone with anything else they have either. Is it bad that the only part I feel guilty about is not taking a picture of the ugliness to show you ladies?
Anybody else throw anything away?
Re: Threw away some wedding gifts
If you don't feel bad for not taking a picture, I'm going to MAKE YOU feel bad for not taking a picture!
Haven't thrown anything away...returned a lot of items, but no throw aways...there is one item I'm considering chucking soon though...

Thumbs down for no pictoral evidence.
Haven't tossed anything either. Still have to make some returns and also have to think about the lucky recipients who are getting some of extra awesome gifts -- like the sno-cone maker.

I did!!
Well I didnt really throw it away but donated a whole bunch of ugly frames with hearts on them and a decorative wall mirror with candle holders to Goodwill. Thats the only thing I could bring myself to do and not feel guilty about it.
At least they will be used by someone else that really does appreciate them even if they had to pay 50 cents.

I sold several gifts at a yard sale we had in July, and gave one to my mother because she liked it and it didn't sell at the yard sale. I have one more that I will never use, but after looking up how much it cost the gift giver, I would feel too guilty to get rid of it.

keb -- this happened at our wedding, and we're planning on doing the same thing (in addition to giving them an actual gift, of course) at our friends' wedding this October. I kinda hope it just gets passed along from wedding to wedding...
