I went overboard

Ok I just wanna start off by saying I’m grateful and appreciative of anything my bf gets or does for me. I’m extremely grateful and always offer to help pay for food, gas, so forth. Both of our birthdays are this week. We are exchanging gifts this weekend. I currently am I student and not working but he’s out of school and working.

We talked about what we wanted and I didn’t rlly know what to say. All I said was I would rlly love flowers. That’s it. I’m also super girly so I feel like it’s really easy to shop for me. He said he was gonna get me a gift card to my fav store but didnt (which I would’ve loved). He told me that he got me two music albums of my favorite artists which I’m okay with!! But i already have Apple Music. I’m looking at the gift I got him and I went crazy. I got a really nice watch, abercrombie shirt, and full sized cologne... all while broke as HELL! They were all ideas he gave me, i got them all! I also went on Etsy and got a custom made card with artwork of his favorite video game. I got his favorite chips and I’m baking him something. I’m thinking I might’ve went above and beyond but hey we’ve been dating for eight months now and we love each other so I wanted to spoil him. I don’t expect him to spoil me but tell me is it wrong if I get a little upset if he doesn’t get me flowers? The one thing that I said? I feel so bratty saying that but idk. I think I’d be a little bit hurt. If I’m being completely honest I’d be okay with just a handwritten letter and flowers. Money doesn’t matter to me. But idk I just feel kinda stupid for going so overboard when I’m not even sure he remembers what I requested. Ugh am i being bratty? Or am I too nice? 😭😅 sometimes I feel like I go overboard for others but don’t get that energy back. I really enjoy getting good gifts for people and I really don’t expect it back, but sometimes I feel like I might get taken advantage of.
