Boyfriend randomly bought me gifts?

Anonymous
Been with my boyfriend for a little over a year. All this time, he has been a horrible gift giver lol. I've gone all out for him. I planned and paid for an entire trip for his birthday, and I bought him a bunch of stuff for Christmas.

For Christmas, he only bought me one small thing that I sent him the exact link for. For my birthday... he had put tires on my car a couple months prior. I'd been offering to pay him back for months, and he just kept saying he didn't remember how much they were. Then on my birthday, he said, "Oh, the tires are your present. That way I don't have to buy you anything." Not gonna lie, I was a little hurt by the birthday present comment. I was grateful for the tires and know that they were expensive, but the way he said it kinda hurt.

Anyway, over the last month, he has randomly bought me things. He first bought me a shirt (one of those nice, super soft cotton shirts - it wasn't cheap!). I wore it a few times around him, and now he bought me 3 more things - another shirt, a jacket and a button up shirt.

Why do you think he is all of a sudden buying me random gifts for no occasion?
