inappreciative
Blind to gifts
Inappreciative describes someone who fails to recognize or acknowledge the value of something—a gift, an effort, a kindness.
It suggests ingratitude or indifference where gratitude would be appropriate: He seemed inappreciative of all the work she'd put into the dinner.
The word is somewhat formal; ungrateful is more common in everyday speech.
