    Sometimes we have to gracefully accept something given to us. Easier said than done, I know but think of the joy of giving you would be taking away from the gifter if you made them feel it was an item for sale.

    Don't deny her the blessings. Accept it and offer to pay if forward. What a generous and thoughtful gift.

    I had the same issue and my mom told me this: you are a gracious giver, now learn to be a gracious receiver.
