Birthday with no gifts

OK so I'm probably sounding spoilt in this post but want to know if what I'm feeling is OK or whether I'm being stupid.

So it's my 30th birthday today and I've got no gifts this year, normally I'll get some money in a card from a few people and then my husband gets me a present. I've just split up with my husband so obviously got nothing from him. I didn't get a cars from my children which made me really upset which again is stupid because my ex is away and he's probably the one to do it. But I make such an effort for other people's birthdays and just feel like I don't matter to others. Again I know im being stupid and sound spoilt but I've always had something for my bday and I'm 30 which is a big deal but it just feels like any other day.
I think also to add to it my cousin was 30 last year and my whole family threw a big party and came together and got her gifts etc and I just feel like I'm not important enough for someone to go 'let's throw her a party' to. Like I've never had a surprise party and just feeling really lonely 🙁 even my mum didn't get me anything and I always spoil her on her birthday which is Xmas eve to.
