Passive aggressive presents
Jump to: Newest in thread
It's that time of year where some people have to consider buying (and receiving) presents for/from those they're not that fond of. (Fortunately not a position I find myself in!)
Browsing through Black Friday deals at Boots, I thought "electric toothbrush could be really pointed as a Christmas present".
What might be some other gifts which have a nasty undercurrent? |

"I got a 'How not to be a Dick book' for someone once. I thought it was funny, unfortunately they were offended  "
I did think self help books 
I had a therapist once, whose brother got him a book called something like "how to screw up your kid". It was evidence based, but what not to do. He loved it |

Funny you should say electric toothbrush 
I thought it would be a great Christmas present for one of my son-in-laws as he likes his teeth.
Apparently, I was trying to say his teeth need cleaning.
The next year I bought him a Lynx deodorant gift set  |

That's a minefield |

"I think people over think far too much of this stuff a gift is just a gift "
I once received a gift that was neither here nor there, but it became passive aggressive when accompanied by the giver's aggressive aggressive comment.
I felt similarly about her, but I wasn't that rude |

in that case toothbrushes make a handy shiv |

I once got a subscription for a Teatox.
Marketed as a detox tool that promotes weight loss.
Key ingredient was senna. A box of laxatives would have been cheaper. Alternatively, they could have just written ‘you’re getting too doughy’ in my Christmas card and saved time  |

Next time get him a TV remote control (for comparison) |

Not passive aggressive, but I quite like re-gifting presents that I've received, but aren't that keen on. It's better than them just gathering dust in a cupboard and the new owner will hopefully appreciate them  |
