Ooo man, I'd wanted to write something similar on Christmas but decided not to be a whiny brat on Christmas.

I'd gotten a cutely packaged bath care set but it's the cheap body soap I know I wouldn't use. I also got cheap skincare creams and serums and while the thought is sweet, I feel like such a snob for not wanting to use them.
I feel bad as well because I feel like these gifts were "I felt cornered into giving you this because you got me a gift". And I would have preferred for this person not to gift me anything.

I try not to play into the "I got you a gift so I expect one in return" game. Instead of giving a gift in return, but I want to show appreciation, I sometimes write a thank you card to the person who gave me a gift. Still using paper but at least it's not an item that might take up space and/or not be used by the gift receiver.

It also deters people who weaponize quid pro quo gifts/favors from wanting to get too close to me. Also, it can sometimes unmask moochers who feel entitled to your generosity but are blind to how little they give to others.

PS.
Wish you could give the lip balms to a place where it'd be appreciated. If it was me I'd give them to a friend's 4yo daughter who would like them and use them. Do you have a friend or relative with a child who might appreciate lip balms?

Oh this is a good idea! I have several coworkers who have young grandchildren and I bet one of them would take these.
