To have hoped for a bit more fuss on my birthday?

Name changed for this, fully expecting a flaming! Yesterday was my 30th birthday. I'm on holiday with 4 month old DS, DH and my PIL. This holiday was fully planned and organised by me. I said I wanted a nice day at the beach, which happened. My DH got me a simple pair of earrings, probably costing £40ish. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner where we would ordinarily, and eerr, that's it. No special fuss, birthday cake or fizz. I'm sure if I said I wanted these things I'd have got them, but I suppose I was hoping to be spoiled or surprised just a little bit on a milestone birthday? I had a lovely day, but doing things we ordinarily would on holiday. I had hoped DH had some little trick (not necessarily costing £) up his sleeve, but it felt like he looked to me to spoil myself rather than plan something. It's hardly a LTB situation I know, my DH is generally thoughtful and kind, and I did have a nice day. I was just hoping for a little bit more fuss. I feel a bit flat now it's gone.
