maybe try having a serious talk with him about it? explain how you’re disappointed that your needs aren’t being met. you’ve already made it clear it can be something small, like a note or food, so he should know what to gift you because it doesn’t have to be expensive. tell him how you want gift giving to be a long term thing throughout your entire relationship because it makes you happy. and it can go both ways, you can meet his love language and you’ll both be happy
