Search Results: birthday present for boyfriend

I've been with him for 2 years. I've expressed multiple times during our relationship that I'd like presents from him. I don't expect loads, it could just be a small present, like a keyring or teddy bear just something that shows he recognises that's what I like and thinks about me. He sent me a present once on my first birthday after I'd asked him many times. My last birthday I asked him for a present politely before my birthday, and he didn't get me one.
Don't get me wrong I don't want his money or anything. Just him to treat me with something little on my birthday and valentines day? That really is all I've asked him for and he doesn't do it. Yesterday I got angry at him for it. Maybe I shouldn't have. After I've asked him 3 times for a present , he says he has an idea with his friend. This made me angry, because I felt like he'd just say it and not actually do it, and because i'd had to have asked so many times to get to that point.
he also told me he buys presents for his friend, who lives abroad, to give to his girlfriend who lives near my boyfriend.
I don't know if I should go back and apologise. But this really really upsets me. I don't expect a lot, and he's not bad off, he's just been on holiday.

My boyfriend of almost 10 months didn't get me anything for my birthday. My birthday was about over a week ago and he did say happy birthday to me on the day of it (we couldn't see each other in person, but he was nice enough to message me it). But then the next few times he saw me recently he didn't give me anything? What's weird is that a few days before my birthday, he initiated or hinted that he was going to give me a present. But he never brought anything up since then.
Honestly my friends and everyone are making it a big deal, but is it really? And if it is, how should I confront him?
Thank you guys!
I'm not a materialistic person nor do I feel like he is obligated to giving me a present but I'm just feeling crappy somehow that he didn't. Maybe because I gave him something for his birthday or because I feel like he doesn't care about me?

Its my 23rd birthday next week
Im celebrating it on the weekend with my boyfriend and friends
So me and my boyfriend was talking about it:
Him - babe i dont know what to get u for ur bday.. i already got you a lot of teddy bears and all
Me - yer true
Him - and i dont know what to buy for a girl.. im not a present guy
Me - i know
Him - is it ok if i just give u money? So u can buy whatever u like? I know u like shoes and cosmetics.. i just dont wanna get the wrong ones for you so ill just give u the money and u can go buy them

Would u be upset with your boyfriend in this situation?
Or is it still sweet?
