its been our tradition for like 10 years now but we have really grown apart and he didnt give me anything for my birthday and I recently called him an a$$.ole and told him we are done because he let me down a numerous number of times. I also didnt see him for like half a year now. So should I even bother?

Nope; unfortuntaley it sounds like the friendship is over. I wouldn't bother keeping in contact or sending anything anymore. Sometimes traditions get broken for a number of reasons, so in this case I'd move on =)

If you guys really are drifting apart, then no. That will solidify your position that you don't want to continue the friendship.
You must in at least some way be thinking about renewing the friendship. If not, why are you asking? So, you need to think about that real hard and determine for yourself if you want to try to pursue friendship again. If you do, then the Bday present along with a bday card that says something to the effect of "sorry things got messed up and you'd like to patch things up" would be a great first step.

I say, don't give him money, but if you happen to see him out on his birthday then maybe say "happy birthday" or if you are feeling generous, offer to buy him one drink.
I had the same problem last week. It was this girls birthday on the 5th, and we used to be really close but she had just moved back from being gone for 2 years, and she never called or wrote or anything. My husband saw her while he was out with friends, and she said she wanted to see me. I said she could call me, but she never did, so I figured she didn't care enough about me to call she must not want to go out that much. I didn't even get her a card, because she probably won't call me, she never was reliable and i don't want to waste my money.

No, don't bother giving him anything. You've grown apart and clearly the relationship is on it's way out. Just leave things as they are...no gift needed

Hi, I would go to the local Christian book store as they have lots of lovely gifts that would be very appropriate. The Precious Moments figurines are very nice and there are so many for all kinds of personal interests, you should be able to find one that is fitting for your friend. They are also within your price range. Regardless of what you get her, I am sure she will be happy. Good Luck!

Life is too short and things change with time. Yes, dear move on. Looks as if maybe you need to look into the mirror and recognize that things do change and sometimes it is for the better. Buy yourself a gift and be thankful for Life.

Listen... The old times are gone, I don't think it would be a good idea to give him money...
If u ain't mad at him no more and he ain't mad at cha, then u could go to his party and give him a cool gift, something that he'd like.
If u really don't feel any hate or other negative feelings, I think it's a good idea to try to rebuild a relationship.

If you want him back as your friend, but not money. Sounds like you still want him, so just tell him, a person can't have to many friends and their hard to come by. It won't keep you out of heaven to talk to him again.

It depends if you want to repair your friendship or not - this could be an excellent opportunity for you to do so. Your friend may or may not take this opportunity, it's up to you to decide whether to give it to him or not. If you would be angrier with him if he did not take this opportunity, I would suggest not doing it. If you can let it go if he does not, I would suggest going ahead.
If you decide to go ahead, I would suggest writing a note offering to leave the "water under the bridge" and to start fresh.
Best of luck with your choice.

I wouldn't bother. He has proven not to be that good a friend so why should you spend any money on a lost cause.
