It's not like she ranted about how horrible the bracelets are AFTER she opened it. If she knew what she was getting or opened it before the rant then yes, she would be a selfish bitch but that isn't the case here.

I'm sure she appreciated the thought afterwards. I feel like this FML is more about OP feeling like an ass than about the actual gift.

Exactly. Thank you.

Honey - not most women. Most women you personally know might like them, but that does not mean you can make a sweeping generalisation when it concerns something incredibly personal! For the record, I think that pandora bracelets are ugly and over priced, but that doesn't mean that I think everyone else does!

I am a woman and I'm inclined to agree that they are ugly, clunky as hell, and way over priced. I personally would be pissed if my boyfriend got me one one 1.) because I hate them, and 2) There are so many better things him and I could use that money for.

Haha:)

I wouldn't say she was being particularly ungrateful. She had a strong oppinion about disliking something. We all have moments like that. The only difference is she unfortunatly expressed her oppinion at the wrong time (right before getting said gift). In my oppinion I think they're both kinda at fault. It seems like he didn't get to know her well enough to know not to buy that bracelet. Either he didn't have time to find out she doesn't like them as they were a new couple at which point he probably shouldn't be spending that kind of money on the gift or he had enough time to find out what she did and didn't like but didn't and just bought a clichéd gift that all girls (true or not) are supposed to like.

I actually think they can be thoughtful and nice depending on the charms. I add to my girlfriends bracelet every now and again with a charm representing something in our lives and it looks quite nice.

I actually agree with you. They're thoughtful gifts, but I've seen prettier charm bracelets for a lot cheaper. I think its the style they use. The silver looks tarnished and boring. Id love the gift if someone got it for me, but I think girls only really like it because of the name. And how it screams $$$. I'd rather get something from Tiffany's.

Tiffany's is SO expensive! I usually get Chamilla charms because they are nice but not as expensive. I am a student after all.

I love Tiffany's but because they're so expensive I don't ask my husband for things from there. I have a set of earrings and a necklace from Tiffany's he gave me as gifts, but that's all I need. Any other jewelry I want I buy elsewhere. For Christmas I got a $15 pair of starfish earrings from Etsy. Compared to $300 starfish earrings from Tiffany's, yikes

By the time you buy the pandora bracelet and spend the $50 per charm, you can get a decent bracelet on sale at Tiffany's!
