'That was my very specific request,' she said. 'Is that very descriptive? No, but it's really what he was working with.'Cloe then unboxed the mug on camera, with her fiancé watching on.'Moment of truth. Are you stressed?' she asked him as she opened the box. TikTokuser Cloe shared the video, explaining that she had asked her fiancé for a specific type of mugfor Christmas- but was disappointed when he did not nail the brief However, as soon as she pulled out the highly anticipated gift - which was a smaller mug with a large handle and saucer - her face said it all.'Oh, that's not... That's not what it looks like,' she said, with a slight chuckle. 'This is not at all what I wanted… Whomp. Whomp. Not what I was going for.'She then quickly assured him, 'No, I like it,' to which her fiancé responded: 'You clearly don't.'In the caption of the clip, Cloe admitted she was worried sharing her thoughts on the gift would draw comparisons to the 'cuff link guy' - a man who went viral over the holidays for his disappointment after his fiancée bought him cufflinks for Christmas, despite him stating he doesn't like wearing any form of jewelry. 'But side note, if anyone knows what I'm talking about and has links, send them my way,' she added.She assured viewers that her partner was not upset by her reaction to the gift.'He knew it was a shot in the dark because I was being so confusing,' she explained. 'Also, I'm very grateful that he really tried to see my vision.'

She admitted that the mug had grown on her, and it was closer to what she had envisioned, compared to what she had found in her search.Chloe turned comments off in her video, but in a Reddit thread, people shared their thoughts on her reaction.'I'm gonna be honest I think I would be disappointed if I got that too, it's so tiny and it looks so flimsy,' one user commented. 'But I certainly wouldn't mock the person who gave it to me, and I wouldn't put my reaction online!''She absolutely should've just... found a mug she wanted, or given her husband a better idea on what she wanted. Saying she wants a mug she can hold, essentially like a bowl?' commented another.Others argued it was a poor reflection on her fiancé for not being able to procure the gift that his partner had explicitly said she wanted. '"He tried hard" no he did not haha. She was very specific and he still f***ed it up. The bar is in hell,' declared another.
