I haven’t got room for any more thank you. X

You simply tell them.Well before Christmas (now) say that you have lots of gin in the cupboard, enough to last for a few years.
I told my family that I had loads of toiletries one year (I could have started a shop to rival Boots) it’s much better to be truthful.

Ohmother just today I received a letter from the care home where a family member lives. They are appealing for donations of bottles of wine and spirits for a fundraising raffle to provide Christmas treats for the residents. They are unable to hold a fundraising Christmas fete this year due to Covid and their funds are depleted.

If you have a surplus you really don’t want, a phone call to a local care home will find someone eager to relieve you of it. Most of them fundraise throughout the year to buy extra treats.

* How do I tell them nicely without sounding ungrateful to them?*
Don’t, just pass it round to us
