Wow, you don't even deserve the licorice. Give 'em here. If I got a bucket of Twizzlers for an anniversary, I'd immediately demand a corny licorice swordfight (which would probably be a spectacular failure due to floppiness of candy) followed by renting a movie so we can destroy the whole bucket of candy together. Make the most of the gift and stop freaking out about not getting a meaningless trinket. Yeesh.

His gift shows you how much he listens to you unless you run around screaming at the top of your lungs how much you love twizzlers and alot of girls would kill for that. for all we know he could have surprised you with something later or maybe he just didn't know what to get you? At least he tried! He obviously cares about you because he's been with you a year.

You know, you should be happy he pays attention to what you like instead of whining about it. He sounds like a great guy and all you care about is the gift. At least he even remembered your one year anniversary.

This thread (not the original FML, but the responses) are actually giving me a lot of faith in humanity.

i, like your bf, do not understand why you are so upset.

I don't understand why you're so upset either. Don't be a bitch. Besides, how do you know there's not an engagement ring at the bottom?

i would LOVE a bucket of twizzlers.

again-if youre going to get each other a present on your anniversary, perhaps you should work out whether you'll actually get something for each other first, THEN decide on a price or whatever. it really shouldn't matter whether you get presents or not. i'm happy as long as my boyfriend makes me laugh and treats me right, if he wants to buy me lollies he can go right ahead.

again-if you're going to get gifts for each other for whatever occasion you should probably be talking about whether you're actually going to buy something and THEN thinking about how much you want to spend on each other. presents and things shouldn't really matter though its not the be all and end all so try to see past the whole twizzler thing. if he treats you right and makes you happy, then let it go if it really got to you that much. be thankful that you've been with someone for a 'long' time and that he's thought about you. i mean, i would be pretty amazed if my own boyfriend turned up with a bag of musk sticks when our one year came around.

yeah i thought the other one didnt come up.
