When it comes to gifts, my boyfriend of two years kinda phones it in. For my birthday last month, he gave me a gift card to a coffee shop, which was sweet, but I work from home and don't even drink that much coffee!
Gift-giving is a love language, and it's OK to want to feel special in your relationship. Gifts are symbolic - they're about more than the thing itself.
It's worth bringing up. The key is to approach the conversation from a place of curiosity, not accusation. This opens the door for him to explain without feeling attacked.
Some people, even thoughtful ones, overthink gift-giving for their partners because the stakes feel higher. They might freeze up or default to something generic.
