This is going to come off as super rude, but I’d like a bit of social advice

My boyfriend’s mom tries to be sweet to me.

She’s a gossiping liar 😅 but a kindhearted woman and we all have our challenges.

One of her things is to buy (random) presents. She recently gifted me another pair of earrings.

I make a point to wear them around my bf, sure, but they’re poor quality. I like the design but they don’t quite fit my style because they look cheap. I would literally never purchase fake turquoise. I’d just save my money... I mean, I prefer to have naked ears than to wear those earrings but I wear them because I feel like it’s what I should do. Like when you wear that sweater you hate bc an elder gave it to you.

It’s not like I can tell her it’s not my style when I do like the design... because the only things I don’t like about them are the facts that they’re made of noticeably fake stones and cheap metal. They’re also like the same exact dang ole earrings she bought me last time. There’s literally one difference I can find, and you wouldn’t notice if I mixed and matched. Definitely not different enough to buy both (l could understand buying both at different times, like she did, but I know she never would have seen them both and gotten both, if that makes sense).

I feel bad about her wasting her money, especially when I feel weird about receiving anything from a person who behaves like she does, anyway. Someone who would start rumors about me one day and say they’re excited for when I become their DIL the next day. That’s definitely an element, like... I feel bought?

Would the most tactful thing be simply to continue thanking her for the things, using/wearing them on occasion, and leaving it at that?

Or should I say I’m not comfortable with all the gifts...?

This is such a dumb issue to have, I just wonder how to handle it.
