My MIL sends her other DIL nothing but kitchen items….my SIL does not cook and my MIL, who is no great shakes in the kitchen either, endlessly moans about the take out they have to eat at BIL/SIL’s house.
She sends me terrible gifts, but they are generally just thoughtless, not purposely aggressive. Except maybe the time she sent me a box of soup mixes full of things that trigger my GERD, like chili peppers and such.
