Today, I was opening a present my boyfriend got me for my 21st birthday. What I unwrapped was a Kay jewelers box. Excited, I opened it to find a ring made out of a one dollar bill. FML

AkGirl1991 tells us more.

This is the poster, and actually I had bought him a promise ring on valentines day. He used the box I gave him....I just thought. I might have been getting one in return. And no, I am not materialistic or ungrateful, and I know he can afford it. Just got my hopes up. If he had JUST given me the ring, it would have been great.

I wonder where the actual ring went?, maybe it's a set up for a real surprise :P

Well he had to have gotten the box for buying something from Kay, so maybe the ring will come out later and he just wanted to see your reaction and if you were excited or not :)

Oh my god -.- is that what it's all about? Diamonds? You are so freaking shallow!

Did you even read the comment the OP posted? She never said she was expecting diamonds; her boyfriend led her to believe she was receiving something special and she was disappointed. You need to chill the **** out and stop assuming that anyone who would be pleased with a thoughtful gift is shallow.

Yes, because a ring made by him from a dollar isn't special.

Maybe he couldn't afford jewellry? Ever thought about that? -.-

That sucks, but at least he was creative.

You ought to give him his dollar back, tied up in a used condom. That would be creative :)

I know it's the thought that counts, but I know from experience that making a ring out of a dollar bill takes maybe 2 minutes. How much thought is that? And who puts it in a Kay's box to trick someone?

That is cute! He probably doesn't have the money to buy a real ring, and wanted to give you something crafty and hand-made. The box was probably his mom's and he did it to be cute. Don't think it bad of him. Guys are just a little retarded sometimes. It was a sweet gift.

...Or, if you read OP's comment, he did have enough money, but was too much of a dick to get her a real ring and used the box that she gave him as a gift.

Maybe he couldn't afford the real thing right now it could be a promise that he's going to put a real one in there for you one day, I would wear it with pride.

Or, you could read the OP's comments. Then you would know that this was an elaborate trick, and that not only could the OP's boyfriend afford a ring, but that she had already given him one.

I got a dollar I got a dollar I got a dollar HEY HEY HEY-little rascals
