Maybe he's trying to tell you not to spend so much fucking money on crap just to try and buy his love.
Maybe he's worried that that's what you were trying to do and it makes him uncomfortable so he's testing you to see if you act like a bitch because you feel entitled.
Or maybe he just doesn't see gift-giving as an "I got you this, so you owe me that," kind of thing. Maybe to him, gifts are about emotional connections, not materialistic one upmanship.
OR MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, (and this is what I think) the real reason you resent a notebook so much is that you have nothing worth writing down in one because you're not a writer or an artist and you have nothing interesting to say or record in a blank notebook. A notebook is worth as much as what you put in it, so if it you think they're worthless, that's just a poor reflection on you, not the notebook itself or the one who gave it to you.
No, but it sounds like you two shouldn't make the next anniversary. This is about knowing who you are and what you want.
Go date a guy that will shower you with gifts then if that's what you want
and he can find a woman that'll appreciate that notebook.
The end
It’s hard to say. He doesn’t owe you anything just because you bought him a bunch of stuff. However if you clearly stated that you wanted him to spend a lot of money on you, it’s fair to feel disappointed and angry when he doesn’t.
Well, yes. I feel it's bad if you did so much so notebook is not justified. But fighting have no results.
You can have confrontation with him though like a mature person.

I've read (and somewhat remember) some of your other posts here and I sort of doubt this will last long. Personally, if it was me in your place I might have left. Does he actually like you? This doesn't have much to do with this question though, just the genral (other) questions I've seen here (sort of).
Does he have the money to give you your materialistic desires? Ccause it sounds like you sure have the money to spend. But does he? Was there something written in the notepad?
No, not really, unless you already got a notebook or you probably never use a notebook, in that case he may not know you enough.
Not gonna say messed up but that seemed effortless and you now know
how important you are to him when it comes to such matters.
what kind of anniversary? like in years? are you married?
Are not overreacting with a trip to Malibu? Thats something for the 5th or 10th anniversary. by the way notebook can cost 1k.
Live and learn, he is cheep... If you stay together this is how you can expect every anniversary gift if he remembers it...
Tit for tat will be your undoing. I guarantee it.
Just tell him to fuck off. He deserves better.
If by anniversary you mean 2 months together, well, I think you over reacted with your gift (but hey, you only have 20 yo!)
I never understood boyfriend/girlfriend "anniversaries"? You are not married so it doesn't matter.
Not his fault you expected so much. It's material goods.. there's more to life than that.
Tell him the following
“I put s lot of effort into our anniversary to make you feel special and you didn’t do the same for me”
that's your problem. and by the way I was in Malibu last month and I got stood up by the woman I love when I was there in LA
What anniversary? One year? One month? One week?
Is he broker than you?
i kno the restaurant (:
Next time just get him a razor and call it a day
Maybe it's all he can afford.
Don't spend too much on gifts next time
So, with you, it is all about the money.
