We get a lot of gifts from my MIL that we have no use for despite asking her to stop as we have too much stuff as it is. Her love language is gifting and she means well but we just don't have the space. We have found that if we donate them she will either see them in the thrift shop and purchase a "second" one so we have a matching pair (oops) or, for more unusual items, assume that we donated it after she gave it to us (probably correctly) and get VERY bent out of shape.
We have had to start driving to a location about 20 miles away to donate things in the hopes that they won't make it back to our area in order to get rid of them.
