Re: Gifts for in laws
in my opinion, if you have given someone a gift, then that thing now entirely belongs to that person and its up to that person how and if he/she uses it. While it is general etiquette to use the gift someone has gifted you and also let that person know that you are using it to harness the good feelings but there might be scenarios when someone chose to pass on that gift to somebody else and there could be various reasons. Example, someone has given you a fragrance or fabric that you feel allergic to so you really can’t use it and you gift it to someone else or you got the dress in a cut that you don’t feel comfortable wearing or at times you need to buy gifts for others but you are short of money so you give them the gifts someone has gifted you. or you already got so many of same kinds of gifts(happens at time of weddings)so you pass it on to others. I don’t think there is anything in these scenarios to feel offended or hurt.
