I am not much of a gift/trinket person either. I don't see the value in things so much as actions. I would rather have presence than presents any day. I don't think there is a right or wrong way to "give" in a relationship... Each relationship is different and unique to the two people involved.
Right now, my boyfriend and I are working on deepening our relationship before we can make it sparkle. We both have some issues that we're working on individually. But, for all the discomfort and unsettling, stressful, environment, it is worth it just to be with him knowing we're still working together.
And yeah, I was upset with losing the sparkle after the first couple years of our relationship. I think the thing to keep in mind is that relationships evolve, and you're not going to be in the honeymoon stage forever. That's OK. Once you can get past that, you'll start to realize how much more amazing your relationship can be...
