    Seeing as how it was a secret Santa .. and not a gift specific for you, it is a non issue. What you decide to do with them .. that is for you to determine.

    You should be less sensitive about the gifts you receive. And more sensitive about using to/too/two correctly.

    I just can't believe you'd balk at ANY gift! IT'S A GIFT - say thank you and be grateful!

    ^^^^^ I agree. In my family, food and booze are great gifts. That probably explains why I am on this site!

    the comment said when i got it was...i wonder what that is!!!!!

    I think it's probably more that the packaging and size of the wrapped gift made it very easy to guess what it was. Those candies are very commonly given around Christmas, right? I'd assume it was a comment about the laziness of the giver (even if they were anonymous), and nothing to do with you.

    I was just having a moment, bought on by guilt coz I know I need to stop eating......the feelings were all me and not even about anyone else
    All calm now :-)

    For the record, you don't need to stop eating, if you did that you'd starve to death... you may need to exercise more control and stick to your calorie goal, but you don't need to stop eating.

    Be glad it wasn't Roses... quality street are much nicer!

    If unopened and not expired, donate it to the food bank.
    If its still in good condition, re-wrap and give it to a neighbor or friend who may have helped you out in some way this past year.
    A couple wks ago I bought a few welchs sparkling grape juice, curled up a bunch of ribbon on all of the bottles and brought them to the grocery stores to the few exceptionally helpful people.
    Granted, they may not all like the "grape" vs the "apple" flavor but it'll make for a nice little gift to pass on if they don't want it :smile:

    They probably said 'I wonder what that is' because the box shape is a bit of a giveaway :)

    from my understanding, sweets are a 'safe' gift for coworkers, and definitely not meant as any sort of personal statement. they're just something nearly everyone is assumed to like. thoughtless, but not offensive.

    I don't know about anyone else, but chocolates and sweets are such an easy fallback gift to give to a bunch of people. *shrug*

    I certainly don't think, with so many people in the world living below the poverty line, that throwing food away is a morally acceptable option. Share them. Donate them. ASDA, and I'm guessing most of the UK supermarkets, have donation bins for local foodbanks. You could always put them in there, someone, somewhere will genuinely appreciate them, especially if they've got sod-all else this Christmas. Alternatively, eat some. Then go for a run. They're good fuel.

    First world problems...
    Anyway I dislike Quality Street and would probably regift it or donate it. I'm sure there are many who could appreciate some sweets :)

    against the rules to correct grammar on here. you should be more sensitive to the mfp rules.

    I thought that was the whole point of secret santa, you get given someones name who you then have to buy a gift for.
