Gifts are frequently given as a means of reaffirming or establishing our relationship with others; therefore, they are a reflection of both the giver and the recipient as well as their particular relationship. Giving a gift to a person we care about enables us to express our emotions and gratitude for them.

Giving gifts is a lovely way to express affection, honor achievements, and show appreciation. While the thought that goes into a present is crucial, putting a personal touch on it may make it truly extraordinary.

Have you received a present that made you happy? Or perhaps you were unfortunate enough to acquire something that disappointed you and made you feel downhearted.

But why does this annoy you? The thought is all that matters and only the thought.

The OP got a car as a graduation present when she was 18 from, her father, who has since died of cancer. She's had it for five years now, and her boyfriend got her a "new" car for himself, describing her own car as a "bug."

The OP says he wants to use that money to take a vacation. OP refused his gift, saying she already had a car that she loved and that he could drive his "new" car, but he got mad because he wanted the OP as his personal driver.

Catch the full gist as you keep scrolling down.

The OP added this update later on and it's a mini one

When you dig deeper, the reason is that we give gifts symbolic meaning. This means that a present you are not particularly fond of may be perceived as inconsiderate despite the giver's good intentions.

Many Redditors found so many red flags about the OP's boyfriend, and she was declared not the AH. We're glad the OP has realized her worth, and we hope things work out well for her.
