Lazy boyfriend gifts woman a silverware set for Christmas after she spends $300 on thoughtful gifts for him, he claims cutlery was a gift for ‘both’ of them

First thing first: Gift-giving is not always about monetary value. If there's one thing that the ladies can agree on, it's that we want our partners to know us and understand what we like. Our tastes can be expensive or budget-friendly—all that matters is that we feel seen and understood! Gift-giving is a good way to gauge this, especially in relationships. In the first few Christmases you share with your special someone, you might notice some trial and error. But that's the beauty of a relationship! You're always finding out something new about them.

The woman in this story lost it when her boyfriend gifted her a cutlery set after she spent $300 on gifts she knew he would like. When she confronts him about the gift choice, he doubles down and says it was a gift for the both of them…

They ultimately understood each other, but let this be story be a lesson for folks who might be running to gift their significant other a household item (that they didn't ask for).

This is a typical cop-out answer, unfortunately. The “it's for the both of us” thing doesn't slide with anyone, let alone a scorned woman who is about to unleash their wrath on you for gifting her a cooking tool. 1950s-esque gifting method aside, he tried to back himself up which backfired. What would he think the OP's response was going to be if he admitted it was a gift for the both of them?
The OP happily got to know what her boyfriend likes and prefers, but it seems he could not do the same for her. Giving him a piece of her mind might be necessary to rewire her boyfriend's understanding of gift-giving, which seems to mean a lot to her.
