I'm going to take the opposite opinion...

Your birthday is important to you... you want him to remember.. you will be annoyed/hurt/insert the adjective if he doesn't remember... You might even decide to guilt him if he doesn't remember or punish him in some way...

That's way too much freakin effort... if you expect something TELL HIM...

Begin rant
THis is one of those ongoing man/woman battles that drives me absolutely insane.. I know sooo many women who do this... MEN ARE NOT MIND READERS.. They are distracted by shiney objects and boobies.. they cant be expected to know what is on your mind and act accordingly unless you tell them. (and I say that will a great deal of affection, I love those lovable lunks) Unless you say it, and tell him, how is he going to know it's important.

Special occassions are just not a big deal to m e, I've had my birthday forgotten more times than remembered, it's the every day stuff that what matters... If I wanted something done for my birthday, I'd ask... and subtle hints dont work... Men don't get hints...
