Christmas, the season of giving. Household spend hundreds each year buying special presents for each other – but some gifts are better than others. When it comes to opening an unwanted present, you may have to fake a smile or try to hold back laughter. However, one woman was less than impressed with her gift, and decided to break up with her boyfriend over it.
A Gift to Forget
The 28-year-old woman took to Reddit to share her story of a disastrous Christmas with her boyfriend. She had gone all out to make the holiday special, buying thoughtful gifts for him and his 16-year-old daughter. However, when it came to opening her present in return, she was left feeling devastated.
Her boyfriend had given her a small bottle of wine, and another crude gift which he claimed was “in his pants”. The woman was horrified by the thoughtlessness of his gift, which she described as “cheap” and “vulgar”.
The Final Straw
The woman had already been feeling frustrated with her boyfriend’s lack of effort to get into the festive spirit. Despite her best attempts to make the day special, he had sat in front of the TV, giving her “zero affection”. The gift was the final straw, and she asked him to leave, taking back the present she had gifted him and thanking him for the “worst Christmas”.
A Break-Up on Christmas
The woman was left sobbing after her boyfriend left, upset about the thoughtlessness of his gift. When he texted her to ask if she was okay, she broke up with him and blocked him.
A Lesson in Thoughtfulness
The story serves as a reminder of the importance of putting thought and effort into gifts. It’s not about how much money you spend, but about showing you care. The woman had gone out of her way to make her boyfriend and his daughter feel special, but he failed to return the favor.
This Christmas, let’s all take a page out of this woman’s book and make sure to put some thought into our gifts. After all, it’s the thought that counts, not the price tag.
