For my 23rd Birthday, one of the girls on my floor gave me two tickets to the Royal Winnipeg Ballet.
I was so pissed off, she thought I would go with her. She been looking for someone to go to the ballet with her and figured she could sucker me into going this way.
I was known as being non-cultured and absolutely hated all the culture events on campus I was expected to attend.
Ladies, don't get yourself a gift and claim its for us. Seriously, you want us to go to some lame culture thing, give it time. We'll eventually decide the torture of going to the ballet is worth shutting you up.
In terms of lame, I've done lame. I got the girlfriend (according to her, we weren't dating at that point, but that's another rant) a bunch of chocolate bars, an XBox game she was looking for and a card for Christmas last year. I raided the chocolate bars, replaced them, but didn't have them wrapped again by the time she came back and surprised me by being home early. Major fail.
She knew I raided the chocolate bars, I tweeted it:

The worse was, before she dumped me by email in mid-February, I had already purchased her birthday gift and card. (Birthday being late March) Thankfully, I was able to get rid of them in an exchange with one of my friends.

We only have your side of the story, but it sounds like there is no effort there at all. Even in years when I was severely broke, I always made a personalized birthday card at the least.
That said, he may do small things for you all the time and isn't into the insincerity of "big events." I know guys who only give on big events and they are the worse kinds of guys to be with.
