A gift is such a thing that makes us happy, and naturally all of us want to receive gifts from others. I am not different from others, but I am not so fortunate as others to receive so many gifts. I received a few gifts in my life on some special occasions, and I liked almost all of those except one. How should I deal with it when I receive an unwanted gift?

I think the intention and true feeling behind giving a gift is more important than the gift. So, focusing on the value of gifts and ignoring the feelings is not a good thing, and I am not a heartless person. People don't ask me what to give as a gift before giving, and that's natural. People select gifts based on their judgment, and sometimes their judgment is not accurate, and they may choose a gift that is not a desired one. So, not all gifts need to be useful to me means many gifts can be unnecessary as well as unwanted. I may hate the gift for personal reasons also when the giver is unknown to it.
Should I refuse to accept such a gift as it is not useful to me? No, there is no chance for it. Refusing to accept a gift is impolite and humiliating in my opinion, even if it's not a desired gift. So it's better to accept the gift from the person to keep the person's face and to show gratitude. It's a formality. But what to do with those gifts because they are not useful to me, and in that case keeping the gifts with me is also a waste as it has no use case.
The first thing I may do is give the gift to another person who can make the best use of it. To be honest, I don't think it's a good idea, and the giver may get hurt if s/he finds out the truth, and that's quite natural and gives him/her the feeling I didn't care about his/her feelings. I have two solutions for it. One solution is giving the gift to someone who has no connection with the person who gave the gift. The another solution is informing the person who gave the gift to me and making him/her understand why I chose to do it, and at the same time, I should appreciate the gift also. I think they will permit it in that case based on my judgment.
Whatever the reason, I think I won't tell the person I don't like the gift because it will hurt the person for sure, and I feel I shouldn't hurt anyone who gives me a gift from a pure heart. Rejecting gifts also has the same impact, and I won't do it at also anytime. Both of the actions are kind of rude in my opinion and hurt the person. The another action which is limit crossing and it's reselling the gifts. Maybe the giver doesn't acknowledge about the action, but it's the most humiliating action one can do, in my opinion, and no one should take such an action when it comes to a gift.
