Am I Overreacting on how i feel about my christmas gift? ❤️‍🩹 relationship

Post image

for some context my boyfriend got me a bottle of perfume for Christmas which i actually love but it’s more about the situation, not that price matters but i ended up spending over $400 on him total for his gifts, so when christmas came i opened my gift and he went on to talk about it first thing he mentioned was that it was $75 which i didn’t care about but i could clearly tell he was lying about it, after that i looked online and actually found out it was under $5 which is fine but him lying about it was off putting, and i also feel the need to mention he makes way more money for me so i know he wasn’t broke . he also talked about how it was special in some way but i was confused on how because the one big thing is its a coconut scented perfume i absolutely HATE coconut and he 100% knows that he also knows exactly what my interests are and what i like so it can’t be that he didn’t know what to buy me. its not about the money or the fact of it being one thing, i am grateful for it because he couldve not gotten me anything. i just feel as if there was no thought put into it, aio or should i bring it up to him?

Give him the same energy back. Buy him some random shit that he may or may not like.

Yeah, OP, buy him some of those nasty ass chocolate coins and cheap chocolate santas, then tell him you got it from a world class chocolatier! 😂😂😂😂
