'The first gift just kinda blew my mind': Internet reacts to entitled girlfriend dismissing holiday gifts from boyfriend

"The custom of exchanging gifts at Christmas provides for an occasion to practice hiding our disappointment." I think we all can relate to that. Let's face it, not everyone has the knack for giving great gifts. And that's totally fine; what truly counts is the thought behind the gift. It doesn't have to break the bank or even cost anything at all – it's all about the gesture.

But we've all been there, opening a gift in front of someone and putting on a show of excitement, even if it's not exactly what you had in mind. After all, the person tried, and you wouldn't want to hurt their feelings.

Unless you're this entitled girlfriend. While opinions on Reddit are divided on whether she was right to express her dislike for her boyfriend's gifts, most agree that there's a delicate balance. This story poses the question: do you fake enthusiasm to avoid potential repetition of bad gifts at every holiday, or do you spare feelings and keep up the charade of loving every gift? TBH, I think this GF should just be thankful she's not in this position: 'He had done this five other times to different girls': Boyfriend gifts new girlfriend things he stole from his ex, so she calls his work and gets him fired.
