It could be that your SO is insensitive, or it could be that his family had different traditions than yours for these types of events. With my DH and me, I come from a family like yours with lots of appreciation and gifts, but DH's family doesn't make a big deal out of any events/milestones. Because of that, I don't get a lot of giftie-type things from him, but I can't consider him insensitive for not doing things the way my family did. That's marriage: the two of you are now a combination of your different upbringings, for better or for worse. The only way around that would be to marry your brother! :)
