We all know that gift-giving can be a tricky business, especially when it comes to our significant others. One woman (26) thought she had nailed the perfect presents for her boyfriend (27) this Christmas, combining her passion for candle-making with a Nintendo Switch she won at her work’s Christmas party. However, her boyfriend’s reaction to the candles left her questioning if her gifts were thoughtful enough.

Thoughtful Gifts or Lazy Choices?

The woman in question thought her heartfelt homemade candles and a Nintendo Switch she won would make the perfect Christmas presents for her boyfriend. However, he felt underappreciated, claiming a ‘real’ gift should involve money and thought. The woman, a busy lawyer, defended her choices, explaining the time, effort, and care she put into making the candles. Now, with both parties upset and defensive, the question remains: were her gifts thoughtful enough, or does her boyfriend have a point? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this fiery debate…
