As frustrating as these types of gifts might be for you and your husband, remember that there are many people who would be happy to receive any gifts at all.

God, I hate Annie’s answers. This sentence is so, “But there’s starving children in China.”

I do agree that the couple are doing fine with their response. Although if their gifters are truly obnoxious/obtuse about their food sensitivities, I’d word my thank you card as, “Thank you for thinking of us. The nuts/cheese/X would make me sick/send Chris to the emergency room, but the food bank appreciates the donation.”
