LADIES: Is it normal for your boyfriend to buy you Christmas presents that HE actually wants for HIMSELF?

I’m 19 and my boyfriend is nearly 27. I thought it was odd last Christmas when he bought me a hacked Psp and downloaded lots of games for it that many titles included stuff such as, "Chess Champions," "Majong Master," and even things written in Chinese (he’s Chinese, I’m white…and don’t know Chinese). He gave me one hard copy game as a Christmas present, and then sold it because he wanted to buy his sister a game. He later told me that he bought another psp for himself. His smaller gift was a Lacoste perfume. He knows I like sweeter scents, but this one is more errr…chemical smelling lol. Again, Lacoste is one of HIS favorite brands.
Anyways, he gave his to his sister (which he then took back after a couple months and sold it on her) and borrows mine now.
This year I have mentioned that I would like ONE of the following:
A leather Juicy Couture or cloth Tory Burch bag (on sale…I would rather have Louis Vuitton, but he would never buy that for me…I doubt he would even get me this bag)

Mukluks (basically, a pair of boots although I would help pay)
Sweet-scented perfume
Marc by Marc Jacobs, Miu Miu, or Moschino shoes (on sale)
Wii with Wii Fitness

Of course he seemed annoyed when I mentioned the stuff that obviously HE can’t use, but when I mentioned a Wii, he was really animate about it…although he said he wouldn’t buy Wii Fitness (HE doesn’t like the gym, sports, etc). He then started telling me how maybe I should ask for a used Ps3 instead since HE doesn’t like Wii games that much.
:( I feel kinda insulted since I’ve been Christmas shopping for the past few MONTHS in order to afford good gifts for him (I’m in college and couldn’t get a job this semester) and I buy the gifts with HIM in mind, NOT myself.
This is my first serious boyfriend though, so I’m just wondering if this is typical.
Thanks! ^__^

    r u serious? i’m glad u didn’t sugar coat this so u can reread it and realize how rediculous it is that you’re with him. he’s just not that into u babe, accept it. he sounds cheap to even do that to his own fam, c’mon he’s 27, he needs to grow up, and u need to grow up n move on. honest

    well there are guys like that obv but he is being an ahole he should be buying a present for you that you actually want. Not one for him that he says is for you but you won’t actually use so he gets indirectly.You shouldn’t even buy him stuff he wants if he is going to be like that you should go and buy the purse and perfume you want then give it to him then take it back just like he does.Then you will still get what you want and he’ll get a taste of his own medicine.

    Did you mention anything about love and affection? I don’t think you did. It seems that you are into each other for ”stuff” however, you must think of the culture difference.

    He is the taker and you are the giver.. Think of yourself and wait for a guy that is appreciative to come along. Get rid of him, he is cheap and selfish.
