Gifts

How can you nicely express your disappointment? I never got an anniversary gift or a push gift and now I’m scared I won’t get a Valentine’s Day gift 😩 my man is so sweet and provides everything our little family needs and money is tight but idk call me crazy I was expecting a little something. He says he has a gift in the works and hints that it’s nice but I’m starting to think he’s just buying time and there is no gift and it’s not a huge deal I just want to know if there’s a nice/ not superficial way to express my feelings to him?

If my husband doesn’t get me a gift for something I use it as an excuse to buy myself something, guilt free. lol.

My husband and I took the love language test together early on in our marriage. Even tho it was obvious what my top 2 were, it was super helpful to take because now he knows exactly what I want for important dates/events. Maybe if y’all casually take it together, he’ll get the idea that you really value gifts on special occasions

i would just say “for future reference i would really appreciate little gifts for important dates, even if it’s just a handwritten letter or a starbucks coffee. i just felt a little disappointed before not getting anything” and i would try to stress that it’s not so much about the monetary value but the thought behind it
