Is This User Wrong For Refusing His Wife's Homemade Birthday Present?

When it comes to giving gifts, they say it's the thought that counts. What matters the most in gift giving is that the giver puts time and effort into giving that gift. Time should mean more than any monetary amount or physical thing, right? What about when the person receiving the gift asks for something specific? In theory, when someone asks for a specific present, it makes the whole act of giving a gift way easier. It's easy to go out and buy something without thinking about it, but does that take away from the thoughtfulness?

While this seems very harsh, the whole story and comments were somewhat of a surprise. This user might have a solid point to argue here. So keep reading to see the whole story and why many users thought this man was in the right for refusing a thoughtful homemade gift.
