[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if this was passive aggressive or just a last minute dash. A classmate gave a wrapped STEM subscription box for my kid’s birthday. Not a subscription, but a single box that was clearly the birthday guest’s. [/quote]

That’s actually a great gift.[/quote]

We already had the box. Which was given as a gift subscription by a family member. So now we have a stack of 4 subscription boxes full of plastic, 2 of which are identical.

And no it’s not a great gift. It’s a lazy gift. [/quote]

Did the person who gave it to you know that you already had it?  Because without knowing it, it's a great gift.

My kid has gotten identical kits before.  Because he likes to build things and so people give him building kits that look cool, and sometimes they're identical.  Sometimes he invites a friend over to build with him.  Sometimes, we give one to Toys for Tots.  It's fine.  [/quote]

I still think a subscription box, clearly from some one else’s subscription (had their kid’s name and mailing address) is weird to give as a gift. I agree that kids like to build things. So give a Lego set or any other set that was not purchased for your own kid. It is weird![/quote]

Well they screwed up not taking off their own kids' label. Still doesn't sound passive agressive, though. Maybe they're broke.

I had a passive aggressive friend a long time ago. One Christmas she gave me a wrapped gift, and said, "It's a scented candle. I know you hate scented candles, but the wick has lead in it so be careful if you light it." Um, okay. Thanks.[/quote]
