So_Very_Confused agony auntAgree with Ciar. Either it was ok or you were upset... it can't be both.

My fiance knows me and yet I still give him my Amazon wish list to help pick presents.

You should tell him you were hurt that he missed your birthday but you can't be mad at him for buying you gifts he thought you would like if you never talk to him about what you like and don't like.

how long have you been dating him? how far apart are you and when do you plan to end the distance?

Ciar agony aunt'...which is ok.but it really upset me' Which one is it?

It's not up to your boyfriend to ask what you want. It's up to you to state it. If you're as unclear with him as you are here it's hardly a wonder you're dissatisfied.

Straight forward communication is better than beating around the bush and waiting for someone to ask or guess.

Are you with a boyfriend to get gifts?

As long as his gifts to you are heartfelt, then I think you should appreciate them. You said he doesn't know your needs and wants, how about you tell him yourself without waiting for him to ask. But remember, not everyone can afford iPads, cameras, laptops, etc.
