Anyone that buys me Jewelry as a gift obviously does not know me.
Unless it is a Native American Turquoise & Silver Squash Necklace, I
will hate it. I only like Silver and to me Jewelry is a Really personal
thing, I would rather pick out myself. I hate things just to show you
spent money, I rather you spend the money wisely. I especially dislike Gold and I really never
wear expensive jewelry.
If
you know me, then you know that I prefer getting practical things that I
will actually use. I hate wasting money and I hate it when people spend
way to much money on something Frivolous.
I understand it is the
Thought that counts and I will appreciate any gift I get if it is from
the heart. However, if you are my boyfriend or someone who is really
close to me, it will hurt me getting a Gift like that. To me, it shows
that you have no clue who I am. It shows me that you rather prove how
much you spent on it to make yourself look good other than the thought
of the gift. I could be wrong, but those are my thoughts. I once broke
up with a guy for buying me an expensive Tiffany Necklace and finding
out he was now Negative in his checking account for doing so. That
showed me poor judgement, lack of proprieties and no knowledge in who I
am. That kind of person does not think of protecting the future, he is
only in it for instant gratification which does not make me feel secure
and safe.
I thought I was past all this once I got married. My
Husband is more frugal in his gift giving, he usually gives me cute,
thoughtful or practical gifts. This year, he needed to save money
because he is having dental issues and his computer broke. I helped him
with a dental bill and bought him a Massage at a Spa to help with his
stress as a Holiday Present this year.
I was shocked when I un
wrapped his present to me. It was a Gold, Diamond, way to Big Tennis
Bracelet!!! I hid my disappointment, I smiled and said thank you. He
boasted that he could have paid off his dental bill twice with the money
he spent on it. Wow, that was like the knife turning in my back, but I
still smiled and told him 'he shouldn`t have'. He was smiling at me, he
was so certain that I loved it, so I guess I am a better actress then I
thought. All I could think about was, he should have just paid his
dental bill and bought me a Toaster Over, I really could use a $40-
Toaster Oven. I know, I know, I am being a bit unappreciative. I really
do appreciate the thought, but I am still hurt that he REALLY doesn`t
know me as much as I would hope that he should know his wife after 5
years!!! I also HATE the amount of money that he seemed to have paid for
it. I honestly would have loved a $2- card better then that Expensive,
Gold, Diamond, Tennis Bracelet!!!
I opened my gift....I appreciate the thought.....but I am having a hard
time with it......Roy said it was very expensive, that he could have
paid his dental work with it........you see l told Roy many times that
to never buy me jewelry, especially expensive gold jewelry....to buy me
jewelry is to not Know me......I have Never been a fan of Gold or
Expensive Jewery.......I would rather he pay for his dental work and him
buy me a $40 toaster oven or even a $2- card!!! I am just sad to know
that after 5 years together, he has no clue who I am. Sorry, I must seem
un appreciative, but I REALLY Do Appreciate the Thought.....I just wish
I could get his money back.......I don`t know the right way to go about
this....maybe I should just let it go.....but I dunno how long I can
keep the 'Act' up....I am not good at keeping my emotions
inside.....besides he Needs the money for his dental more then Tennis
Bracelet. What do you think I should do???
I just had to vent about it. I do
love my Husband, I do Appreciate my Gift, but I can`t ignore my
feelings and had to get them out. I guess Blogs are the New Inexpensive
Therapist, just my Style!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
