Boyfriend didn’t get me a birthday present

I know the mumsnet stance, adults shouldn’t be bothered about birthdays. But bf of 3 months, it was my birthday yesterday, the first birthday we’ve spent together and he didn’t get me anything.

AIBU to feel a bit upset about this? I’m not bothered about getting presents really but feel a bit upset about the lack of effort. He didn’t even give me a card so it just feels like I’m not worth it to him somehow.

Do I say something to him about it and if so what to not come across as grabby? Or let it go?

My husband of many years didn't get me a Christmas present after we had been together a year. Well to be precise he dashed out to the local chemist on Christmas eve when I found out he hadn't got me anything and got upset. I think I would text your new boyfriend and say something like don't worry about getting me a big present, it's the thought that counts. Honestly my husband is the kindest man but doesn't always realise what things bother me.
