I
have asked dd what i should do with them and she just says to "leave them there"
If you have the room, I would just leave them where they are. If they are there after a certain period of time (say next Christmas), then I might return them to her. The gifts do belong to your daughter not the friend who gave them. When you "houseclean", then give her a choice whether she wants them returned to her friend/herself or whether she wants them to be pitched/donated (just give her a "heads up". Just one opinion ... .
