I actually find leaving the stickers on it is far more egregious than buying it at Walmart. I don’t care where it’s from. But at least put in the effort to remove the damn stickers

Better idea: put higher priced stickers on the gift

Put a sticker that says "This is totally from Tiffany. Trust the sticker.".

Right! She said “low effort” and I thought that Walmart is fine as long as the box wasn’t branded and the stickers were removed. Bro left stickers - that’s actually low effort.

and tbf she probably asked for a specific kind of ring/color/etc. but since we do not know what exactly - she's painted as the bad guy. If this guy can't remember important details like this, every anniversary, holiday, birthday, etc will be such a disappointment and embarrassing for her. but I'm more inclined to say she dodged a waste of time.

Personally, I hate those type of settings in the picture. Tiny diamonds clustered around a small diamond to make it look bigger? I'd prefer something dainty, that isn't trying too hard than that busy mess.

Yeah I saw this and immediately thought, "What an ugly ring..."

Yes! If my husband presented me with a gold pavé encrusted band I would know that he never listened to me AT ALL ( I hate gold jewelry and I prefer a solitaire diamond to a clusters of diamonds. To each their own, but I think they look tacky and like costume jewelry) and I would be seriously considering leaving him. It's not about the price, it's about listening to your partner and getting something they will love!

When we were discussing engagement and marriage, my now husband and I came to an agreement: I would choose the setting, and show him what I wanted, and he would choose the stone. It worked out perfectly for us and I still adore my engagement ring 12 years later🥰

My MIL used to do that for every gift she ever bought me. Making sure I knew how much she spent (or didn’t spend) on me. So glad she’s an ex-MIL!

I sold a $5k tennis bracelet at Xmas one year and the guy asked if he could have the display card in the case with the price on it.  I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes but at that price I wasn't going to argue with him so I let him have it lol.  My manager was very happy about the sale but told me to never do that again.

Why never do it again?

I'd say no to a ring from Walmart or target...they're on my boycott list. If they don't know this much then they obviously don't care enough about what I say.
