Talk to him about it honestly. We are all different people. I re-energize myself by having a lot of alone time, staying in my house. My wife is the exact opposite, she enjoys going out and being around a lot of people.

We compromise. I will go out, at times when I dont want to, because I know it will make her happy. I am certain she does the same for me, doesnt pressure me to go out and will stay home and watch a movie.

Just tell him how you feel. Please dont expect him to read your mind. Whatever expectations you have, let him know. If you like receiving gifts, great, tell him. I could care less if someone buys me something, it sounds like your boyfriend could be the same way, who knows.

I hope your talk goes well.
