perfect gift

Husband and I received a book entitled ‘Live Well on Less Than you Think’ for Christmas from MIL…we are in our mid to late thirties, not just starting out, by the way. Husband makes a very good salary and has saved a substantial amount for retirement over the years- which his mother knows. MIL thinks world is too material and lives very modestly (on purpose) in a rural, isolated area.I was pissed at the ‘gift’ but didn’t tell husband…a couple of years ago I was experiencing a lot of stress at work and at the same time was working on completing an advanced degree in my field. Lo and behold I received a book from her entitled ‘Women Who Think Too Much’ (my husband had mentioned to her that I was experiencing stress at work, but did not go into detail. The stress was not affecting our marriage as we get along well and help each other through things like this). Even if DO think too much, I found it totally inappropriate to send me this book. Do these gifts seem passive aggressive?
