Alice, Do I Have to Hold Onto a Homemade Wedding Gift Forever? — Ask Alice: Advice for Life at Home

Dear Alice,

Ten years ago a family friend built us a bookcase as a wedding gift. It was extremely generous. We used it and moved it across the country twice. A third cross-country move is coming up. It is huge, heavy and no longer our taste. Can we sell it? Do we have to offer it to other family? What if they accept, and then he sees it in their house and is hurt? We did not ask him to make this bookcase and we haven't seen him in about a decade. We live across the country from him and he never visits our home.

Signed,
Ready to Say Goodbye to the Bookcase
