if they never use/wear it but when it gets disrespected...
My MIL was pissed off for years over a lap blanket she made for her oldest son's stepdaughter.
The girl used it as a dog blanket.
OK I love animals, but that's just wrong...
OTOH, I once crocheted a nice rainbow afghan for this same MIL...rushing to get it done for Christmas, working my fingers to the bone. Never saw her use it, and when she died, we found it in a chest in her spare bedroom along with a bunch of other stuff people had given her that she never used. Granted, she was a young girl during the Depression, and probably learned to make do with very little, but still...
anyway, I ended up snagging the Swarovski crystal snail (also in that chest, doing nothing) one of her ex DILs had given her for her birthday, and it sits proudly on my dresser in a display case.
