Are you talking about gifts for occasions, or just gifts for no reason? He buys you gifts for your birthday, Christmas, Valentines Day etc.. right? If not, when it comes to be about a month before the occasion, start dropping hints like...
Such N such..Jewelry store is having a big sale, I saw a really cute --- that would look great with ---. You know my birthday, Christmas...whatever is coming up right?
Or ask, So what do you want for Christmas, Valentines.....
Small but subtle hints should help. Does he have a job? Is he broke all the time? Maybe he can't afford to purchase you gifts. Gifts for no reason are a different story. I really don't know how you can hint to that, except maybe...
ya know, it would be nice to get flowers once in a while....
Good Luck:)
If all else fails, you could just ask him "So why don't you ever buy me anything?" It may be straight forward but if he isn't getting all your hints and clues maybe that's what you need to do.

Your best bet is to tell him straight up, "I wish you would buy me more gifts." That way he can give you a straight answer ("Okay, I will try harder", "I thought I gave you a lot of gifts, do you think you need more?" or "*****! You don't need more ****!"), and you can decide where to take your relationship from there.

By simply hinting around and not getting anything out of it, there are too many possibilities: Is he not getting the message? Is he getting it, but not sure what to do about it? Is he getting it, but ignoring it? The longer you go without getting what you think you need, the more resentment will build up inside of you--and if he genuinely just isn't getting the message, or is just unsure of what to do next, that resentment will be misguided, and will poison your relationship.

Why do that to yourself and your man, when you can just ask up front?

I'm sure he will buy then eventually. Don't throw hints because then he will think that you are needy. Why do you need gifts anyway?? His company should be the only gift that you need & I'm sure he will get you gifts in the future, but I wouldn't throw hints because acting needy is never the answer.

Buy him a gift, and when you give it to him make a point of asking him how he feels and then enthusiastically say, "Yep! I'd feel the same way if SOMEbody gave ME a gift!"

And remember: it is better to give than to receive.

Mine is the same way. Men just built to know things like that. What I do is tell him how my other friends b/friend bought her this (even though he didn't) and say things like, that was so sweet of him to do something like that for her. Maybe he'll catch the hint

My guy is very un -traditional. This drove me crazy in the beginning! I have tried to look past that. he buys me things for no special reason other than he loves me . But rarely on the days I would expect it!!

maybe he can't afford it....instead of suggesting he buys you gifts maybe you can suggest him giving you something that doesn't cost money....like multiple orgasms, back rubs, cook dinner, clean the house, do the laundry ect. Trust me as you get older you realize that its the little things in life you partner can do for that really makes it special.

He just cheap. I have spent around 6, 000 on a girl I was with in jewelery. And about 8, 000 on another one. I didn't get anything.

If he is that thoughtless and self-centered, maybe a large, heavy, blunt object upside the melon ought to help. Keep shopping!
