I understand how you feel. A friend from church was going to be helping my son and daughter in law by babysitting our new grandson 2 days a week when she went back to work. The friend is a very big Seahawks fan so as a token of appreciation I decided to surprise her with a Seahawks quilt. After only watching the baby twice a week for maybe 4 or 5 weeks she decided it was to much for her. I still did the quilt and gave it to her at church a few weeks ago. She did say thank you but barely took a quick look at it in the bag. Had a couple of other people not asked her about it and to see it she wouldn't have even taken it out of the bag. It's not as if she doesn't understand how much work probably went into it as she does a lot of knitting and should be able to relate a little.

I was disappointed in her response but remind myself that I choose to gift it to her. I am sure she probably does like it a lot but just did not relay that in her response. We give with love and can not control how it is received.
