Users can set parameters for gift acceptance on Amazon's site, and gifts that fall within the parameters will be shipped as usual. But, if the gift falls outside of the parameters, like "no gifts from Aunt Mildred", or "no clothing with wool", the recipient will be notified that the gift has been ordered and paid for, and will ask the recipient for further instructions. Seems like a "win-win" to me!!
Apparently, the Emily Post set is up in arms. What do you think, dear GingerSnaps? Would you use such a service?

It certainly makes good business sense, but I can see that it is a bit uncouth to return before it even ships.
Efficient, but tacky...very cool though, and the next time my mom bought me a gift against my wishes I could turn it into a Kindle book or something for Guinness!
That would never fly in my family. We NEVER return anything - and we always pretend that every gift is absolutely perfect. Even if it's a woolen piece of crap from Aunt Mildred.
