Would you be upset at the mutilation of a present?
I gave a friend of mine a European square tin of international coffees, one day I asked
her how each of the four coffees tasted? She responded that her roommate just poured all the coffees together in one container that already had Maxwell house coffee in it and she shook it up. I was pissed off beyond words because that coffee was very expensive. Should I be angry or let it go because it’s hers and she had a right to do what she wanted with it?
Let it go. And don’t buy her another gift.
The thing that gets me is that it was the ROOMMATE who did it. WTF is the roommate doing in her gift?
The gift had class, she showed lack of class but it was her gift to do with as she wanted. I would let it go. Next time, get her a bag of coffee at Costco and don’t worry about getting the best.

You are right that it was hers to do with what she pleased, but still, I too, would be a little miffed. A lesson learned that she should receive less expensive gifts in the future.
I, on the other hand, love international coffees-next time, you could send them my way. I would definitely savor each one.
