Like #1 said, I personally get over someone much easier when I erase everything that reminds me of them from my life. Plus, it'll be a funny story to tell later that just proves him to be the dick he sounds like he is. Best wishes!

Donate it. That way, you don't have it as a reminder, you're not being a pushover by giving it back, and then he gets to look like a real ass if he wants to take something away from the less fortunate.

I would think that if the item reminds you of him (and you are trying to get past him), then returning the item would be for the best. If you do not care, then keep it. Just be prepared to deal with his whining.

all the proof you need to know that he's not worth taking back.

If it was last Christmas, he's a dumbass because no store is going to take anything back a year later.

hope you said no

Personally I think I'd give it or send it back, especially if it's something of low value. Simply because then you stop any potentially whiny calls from him in the future. And that will make it easier to move on from him.

Good thing you don't have to give it back by any binding or legal obligations. Not saying you should use it as some leverage over him either, but it sounds like hes the one who wanted to end it, so screw him. Hindsight is 20/20 if he's that broke or petty.

it doesn't sound like you have much self respect for yourself. that may be why your relationship didn't work out.

This one depends. Let's suppose boyfriend spent $200 on something and she intentionally waited until afterwards to tell him she's thinking of seeing other people, then changed her mind. It's about as likely as him giving her a gift, expensive enough that it's worth the trouble, right before dumping her. We need more info.
