All you people saying at least you got a present obviously don't understand women. We don't want something that you gave your ex, we want something that you picked out for us, even if it's cheap, if you picked it out just for us it makes it extremely special and meaningful. Giving a woman something you gave your ex is basically saying we aren't special to you. FYL OP. You need to have a talk with him.

don't worry my ex gave my engagement ring to his girlfriend as a promise ring to always be together. then she confessed to have been cheating on him. I found it very funny.
