How long do I have to keep these crap gifts?

Dear Excruciata, our grandchildren have made us some horrendous gifts for Christmas. A badly written note with a bit of glitter and cotton wool glued on, a fairy made out of a toilet roll and a ping-pong ball and a badly made clay pot with a bow attached. How soon can we politely get rid of them?
