You thank them graciosly and make it a point to never give them the impression you don't like it. I receive gifts as well that I wouldn't have chosen for myself. Often, I give them away at parties to someone who would appreciate them (folks are often fascinated by my interest in tiki and don't have a lot of tacky or non-tacky tiki stuff themselves) and say, "I don't have room for this, would you like it?" If the gift-giver is at my party, I wait for another time. dcman
