My apologies, but no, we can't. We don't know who was intended to receive this gift and anyone that might know apparently does not wish to discuss it.
However, you can be assured that the thread was shared with the appropriate team, as usual, so they are aware of everyone's comments.

Cheap and fairly tasteless. Obviously whomever came up with this idea has never flown business class where these (many of which that are far nicer and from real brands) are passed out like candy.
