Normally, I would just donate the items to a church, but I am too afraid that this friend will be looking for me to use the items.

What is your suggestion? -- You Shouldn’t Have“The true purpose of a gift is to be received,” writes minimalist expert Marie Kondo in her bestselling “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” and I couldn’t agree more.
