its not the size or expense of the gift, its the fact that you thought of it.
BUT dont always think cheap is ok. if i see you buying another stupid video game for 60 bucks, im not going to be happy with a $5.00 boquet of carnations.

in fact, carnations are NEVER ok.

Neither are flowers from a grocery store/ supermart/ whatever. NEVER.

Now a better question to answer would be: why did you tell him not to buy you anything when you actually wanted something?

thats what girls do.
why? because we like to have guys think about us, surprise us, appreciate us, do something romantic without being asked.

If you wanted it to be a surprise then why would you even mention it? why not let him come up with the gift? It like the infamous question "Honey Do I Look Fat?" You are damned if you do and you are damed if you don't,When does it stop?

When people learn to stop setting themselves up for disappointment.

I got him something and he did take me out to dinner, but its not like him to not at least do something. I would have loved a love note or a back rub. I did mention that I would love for him to write me a little something, and he did, but it was really short and kinda sucky, and that was after I had prompted him.

My first question was going to be, did you do anything for him. But you did, so it isn't.

I'd suggest you mention that it upset you, but in a way that doesn't provoke him or look as though you're putting him down. If it upset you, he needs to know; no good can come of hiding such things.

What about flowers from the neighbors lawn? (If they're from the side NOT facing your residence?)

i prefer to look at it as setting myself up for being valued.

I'd be a little less impressed with a cheap gift after one's lover had spent a whole lot of money on herself.

But I would still melt over any bouquet.

My fiance didn't get me anything for our 5 year anniversery, granted I asked him not to buy me anything since we have an up and coming wedding to pay for, he could have made me a card or written me a note or something. Am I being silly for being disapointed?

No. I always tell my other half that too (and mean it, I really don't ever want anything), but at least a cute note in my lunch tote or on our dry erase board to recognize the day would be nice.
