Gosh! Like accept them; thank them and "pay it forward to someone else. If the campground has a clubhouse ask the owner if you can leave a box with "free stuff" written on it; give it to Good Will; bet a soup kitchen would take them pies; had a boss once who said to "never look a gift horse in the mouth". I could not comprehend what he meant, but I think was meant don't hurt their feelings by refusing. Have a nice day! Pieere

Ahhh, don't send the pie, but we re-gift alot of stuff. Just don't send it to the same person you got it from. We've been telling people for several years that we don't want christmas or birthday presents. And let me tell you, there are some hard, hard headed people out there. Take the tasty pies to a local food bank, they will make somebody happy.

Know the feeling well! After several years on the road, our families have become quite adept at expressing their love through quite appropriate gifts for us. It really touched us once they all 'got it'.
Last holiday season we posted a gifting giving guide for RVers, that some of our fellow RVers forwarded to their relatives that seemed to help :) You're welcome to point them here if you like:
The roll of quarters gift idea is one of the best! We just finsihed up the last of the quaters we received last year.

I think it took about 5 years before we finally had everyone convinced that we couldnt use or have a place to store large items, Some quit sending gifts but the others finally realized that gift cards, especially to restaurants, where the items we could use.

You'll get them all educated eventually.
