Gifting giving

Gift giving is always an emotional event.  Strings attached can prolong the emotional drain.  Stomping the gift into the ground in front of the gift giver is the only way to make certain all strings have been removed.  Be sure to leave the broken pile on the ground.  That way there will be no confusion that you took it home and glued it back together.   It's best to walk away while the look of shock is still on their face.  If the person is inclined to reconcile their choices they can approach you in a dignified manner once they rethink their choices.  Otherwise they can find comfort in the susceptible masses that prefer to dilly dally in the slurry of despair ever present in anguish filled lives, and they won't notice you've walked off.
