Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Georgia

Gifts from a significant other
I'm not sure if this is the right area of law for this question, but here goes. I am in the process of ending a relationship with a gentleman who has purchased gifts for me during our one year relationship. I didn't ask for these gifts but do appreciate them. Now that we are no longer seeing each other, he wants them back. The gifts are nothing overly extravagant, they consist of a computer, saddle, miscl. items. The most expensive being a flat screen TV which he paid $1000 for. I'm not a materialistic person and would gladly return these items to him, but I use these items daily. Especially the computer because I'm in school. Legally, can he force me to return or reimburse him for these items? Thank you for your help.

No, gifts are gifts. Absent some understanding or written "loan" agreement, he is out of luck.

He should move on and write it up to experience.
