I got this pretty box of chocolates

I received the panthère throw blanket last month with my pavé purchase. Just received this cleaning kit plus gift - have not opened the gift yet as I like to admire the pretty gift wrap lol. It’s an art!
My lovely SA sent me a beautiful scarf in a color that goes oh-so-well with my wardrobe (he knows me well!). It arrived earlier this week.
I got a set of trays last week. I always decline gifts when offered, but sometimes they just show up unannounced and it is nice. My husband is always annoyed at this time of year because all of the SA holiday gifts come and he assumes that the boxes arriving are all new purchases! It is fun to let my 3 year-old unwrap the gifts because he doesn’t care what is inside, he just loves the unwrapping itself
I'm curious why you would decline a gift?I got a set of trays last week. I always decline gifts when offered, but sometimes they just show up unannounced and it is nice.

@DaintyDiamonds
I always decline gifts from brands too...
I don't know about @nicole0612 but my reason is..
I have enough 'stuff' and only want what I fall in love with and have a need or desire for.
In the past I've recieved gifts from Marni,Dior,Prada,Chanel and VCA and gave them all to my neice or in the case of perfume (Dior and Chanel) gave them to my local charity shop.
All I've ever kept was a beautiful rock crystal snowflake tree charm, a cardholder and a Prada scented candle.
But I personally just dont want more 'stuff'.
I've even told friends and family not to buy me gifts for holidays and birthday..My DH is the same.
And we only give gifts to eachother.

Donating, gifting, and even selling the gifts to donate the funds raised to my favorite non-profit is what I would do. That is if I was able to part with it. I love gifts, and gifting, and on some level feel like it could offend the SA to decline. I'm not putting anyone down for their decisions, was just curious since declining wouldn't have entered my mind.
I find they are fine with me declining..
I just tell them if they mention they have 'something' for me that I'm fine..and really dont expect anything.
I think they respect me for just being open about it..and it means they have an extra item they could offer to a new client who may be buying a one off christmas gift big ticket item.
As @maxroxxherhandbags so well stated!
My sales associates in general know that I don’t want gifts, because I already have enough “stuff”, and am always trying to declutter. It is not as though they are throwing the gifts in the garbage, they just pass them on to the next person on the list who may love them!
Cartier and clutter would never be in the same sentence for me!
Again, no judgement, was curious. Thanks for responding!
