gives you an awful looking ceramic something for X-mas. You know she is going to expect to see it when she comes over. What do you do?

put it behind something and when she comes it will be out. Just tell her you dusted and forgot to move it back

I actually have to do this with my mothers gifts. I put them away, until i know she is going to visit. then we set them out and decorate them up. I got this huge glass thing from my mom, that looks like a brandy sniffer for the jolly green giant. so i really understand.

I rig the awful ceramic thingy to break apart at the slightest touch. Then -when the auntie comes over- I'll ask her to go and get it for some reason. As she touches it, the thing falls apart and I feign "disappointment" at what has happened. Sure, the aunt might respond with a replacement awful tchotchke, but seeing her heart-broken at "her own actions" would be well worth it.

I got this huge glass thing from my mom, that looks like a brandy sniffer for the jolly green giant. so i really understand. Seen people use those for rolls of camera film. Makes me wonder why they don't develope the pics. Also seen people use them for join jars. Only the tiny stem usually breaks. Not up to that kinda weight.

I would suck it up and put it someplace that I won't notice it.
