My boyfriend never gave me any gifts. Am I wrong for expecting him to buy me stuff?

For context, we've been officially dating for almost 3 months now. He's currently unemployed but makes an ok amount of money playing in a band. He lives with his mom, doesn't pay any bills, so he's able to save a little bit. Sometimes when we go out I offer to pay for the entire thing because I have more money than he does and I don't mind paying things, but it would be nice if once in a while he could buy me some things, simple stuff, give me flowers or write letters. I love gifting other people and I've already given him a book, some shirts, CDs, etc and wrote two letters. Although he is a very loving person and reassures me everyday of his love, he doesn't seem to put any effort and it's starting to annoy me. Today I got to know that he purchased a not very cheap shirt for one of his band mates, and I still got nothing. Am I an asshole here for expecting gifts and little surprises?
