There was only one gift TikToker @outspoken.m felt was appropriate for her boyfriend this year.
Revenge.
After her boyfriend reportedly cheated on her multiple times, @outspoken.m chose to throw his infidelity right back in his face, by giving him a chain necklace with the names of all the women with whom he cheated on her engraved on it.
@outspoken.m captured the moment in a video which has since received over 19 million views on TIkTok.

The 16-second video captured her boyfriend, whose face was not visible, opening a box, and upon seeing what lay inside of it, immediately closing it.
While viewers could not clearly make out what lay inside the small box, the video's overlay made it abundantly clear.
"When he cheated, so I got all the girls names on a chain and gave it to him for his birthday."
Many simply ate up what they felt was a deliciously sly way of punishing her boyfriend for cheating on her.

Others, however, weren't quite sure her revenge was wholly successful, with some feeling she'd wasted her money on him, and others worrying maybe doing this was a sign of her fragile emotional state.

@outspoken.m subsequently posted a follow up video in response to those who were less than convinced her giving him the chain was a good idea.
@outspoken.m Reply to @taffeta2005 #messytiktok before y’all ask This was A MONTH AGO still NOT 👫🏾
The four second video featured a screenshot of a text conversation @outspoken.m had with her boyfriend after he opened the present.
A comment from the previous video, which claimed @outspoken.m's boyfriend was "not embarrassed" and "he could care less", was placed in an overlay at the top.
She asked her boyfriend if he would wear the necklace to which he responded with a list of reasons why he wouldn't.
"If I wear it to work it's weird."
"If I wear it anywhere else it's weird."
"If I wear it with you it's rude."
"Not to mention it's now the only gift i've gotten and it's a joke, so it hurt."
@outspoken.m admitted earlier in the conversation her mother didn't think the gift was funny either, and clarified in the video's caption this occurred over a month ago and she and her boyfriend had indeed broken up.
Viewers of the video found themselves shocked and amused by @outspoken.m's boyfriend expressing how hurt he was by her present, seeming to forget his infidelity was what led her to give him the chain.

Things took an unexpectedly dark turn, however, when @outspoken.m posted a third follow up video in response to a comment which simply read "toxic AF".
While it was eventually clarified the poster was saying her boyfriend was "toxic", @outspoken.m believed it was directed at her.
This resulted in a 30 second video, once more capturing a text conversation she had with her boyfriend.
Only this time, he was accusing her of cheating on him with other men, sometimes resorting to racial slurs while doing so.
@outspoken.m did make an attempt to lighten the mood with one final follow up video to the saga.

Declaring in the video's caption she does "not condone cheating", the ten second video featured @outspoken.m putting out a survey to her TikTok followers which was bound to stir some feathers.
"Okay, for anybody still wondering, no we're not together."
"But since you guys keep asking that question I have a question."
"Who cheats more, men or women?"
"And who cheats better?"
A dubious accomplishment indeed, to be "better" at cheating.
