I recently got married, and one of my husband’s aunts gave us a KitchenAid stand mixer. It’s a very generous gift, but it would occupy the only counter space we have on which to cook, and we would rather have the couple hundred dollars for things that we actually need. I am very grateful for her generosity, and the money we got from returning it will allow us to purchase much of what we really need for our kitchen. However, I don’t know how to thank her appropriately for a gift that we did not keep.
