Damn You Stupid Gift Angst! Agh!
I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone tonight and just casually he guessed what his gift was and he didn’t sound all that pleased. What makes it worse is that he asked if he had guessed right and I blurted out No, just because I was scared and upset!
I’m a little panicked. I thought I had a good idea but he sounded really unimpressed…
I’m totally lost as to what to do now! Should I try and get something else? Or just go with it and admitted I didn’t tell the truth?!

I think you should keep the present. If he really doesnt like it buy him a gift certificate as a backup present and if hes pleased with the present keep the gift card for your self (lol)
hope i helped ♥

Hmm well I wouldn't buy him a new gift. Its not that big of an deal if he doesnt like his gift. He shouldnt care if you got him something. If he likes you for you, he wont care what the gift is. So if he does care.. i would think that he isnt worth it.

You can keep the gift, just to trick him. But get him another one. Continue to tell him that it is not the gift he guessed. And when the time comes, give him the newest gift and then give him the one he guessed last.

Just give him the gift you got him. He should understand that you lied because it's supposed to be a surprise. I hate to break out this cliche, but it really is the thought that counts and he should suck it if he is really that disappointed with a gift from his girlfriend. He should be happy you're getting him one at all!

Maybe he sounded disappointed because that's what he wants to get!
My husband guesses every year what I get him. It used to bother me but it doesn't anymore. Mostly because I wait until the last minute to get him anything.
In the future, get a big old box and put a big rock in there (or something...don't want a rock mashing anything breakable). That should fool him.
I think you will be forgiven for fibbing a bit about the gift. I wouldn't panic and get something else. He will like it just fine. In the mean time he will try guessing something else. :)

This is a true predicament. Obviously you are ata digital crossroads, that is, you can either give him the gift (with qualifications) or not (again, with qualifications). Depending on what the gift is, he may have been guessing because it is in fact something he could use. But you must remember, you are not buying something just for the sake of buying it, you are acquiring something for a loved one you think needs something in their life. If it something you contemplated upon and concluded was something he needed, then yes, give it to him with the qualification that 'he is a good guesser' and he should not try that again (jokingly ofcourse). If its a gift that is trendy or not very practical in his daily life (a gold plated spork), then take it back and find him something you think expresses your love for him.

The bad thing with Christmas is that people try way too hard to please someone else. He should be happy that you got him anything at all. I'd tell him, yes, I got you this. I thought you'd like it. I mean, you were thinking of him when you bought it. And the saying "The thought that counts," may sound corny and overused by it's true.
If he doesn't like it, I'd say too bad. If he really isn't that thrilled about it tell him he can take it back himself.

Give it to him, just tell him you didn't want him to know. If he doesn't like it, tell him he can take it back and get something else with the money. Or buy him something else along with that gift.

honestly i would go with it and give him what the original gift was. dont give yourself a headache over it. if he isnt grateful and happy with it oh wel you tried and had a giving heart. just be glad that you are a generous giver and thats a great quality expecially at christmas time. i would be honest and tell him he guessed after you give it to him. explain to him how scared you were to give it to him and if he truely doesnt like it then he can exchange it possibly????? hope it all works out hun goodluck

That's all you should give him. Don't even bother to explain it to him. I'm sure he'll be pleased enough that you got him a gift. =] Besides when he opens it, he'll be surprised because he won't be expecting it!

Keep it, and get something else, too
