<human>: Hi there, /r/relationships,

Using a throwaway because reasons.

So, the title pretty much says it all. We've been together for a little less than a year, so it's our first Christmas together. We talked about it before and came to conclusion that we would be giving each other something for that occasion. 

I'm a big presents guy and I really love making them custom and as exhilarating as possible so I got her this old-as-fuck-but-still-works typewriter because she loves stuff like that. She was so happy!

Sadly, she didn't return the favor and hasn't spoken about the subject ever since right before Christmas when she told me 'she doesn't know what she'll give me yet'.

I'm not a materialist or anything. For me the gesture counts, not the money. I would be so happy with a letter or a simple framed photo. I know that her financial situation hasn't been the best lately and she could just feel embarrased that she can't get me anything 'pricy' (which is stupid thinking, but possible, she's not very self-confident). But I also know for a fact that a larger amount of money was coming her way at the end of December. Yesterday I asked her if she got it, and she said she doesn't even know because she hasn't checked her bank account since before Christmas.

So it all kind of seems like she just doesn't care and I feel sad about it. I don't know how to bring it up delicately without sounding like a jerk who wants money to be spent on him, I don't know why she acts like nothing happened, I don't know how to behave.

Pls reddit halp.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: we said we were giving each other presents this year but she didn't get me anything and now acts like nothing happened. I don't know how to approach this.
