I don't think it's a requirement, but a card and a candy bar would be nice...Or an iTunes gift card for $5 to buy some music? I think, if he's truly interested in you, then after 10 months he would start to understand the importance of your kids in your life. Hell, after 10 months I'd expect my BF to buy my dog a birthday present, so yes, to your kid as well.
I don't think it's a major red flag, but something to keep your eyes on. I don't buy birthday presents for most of my family members anymore because we're all adults and who knows what the hell they want. To me a card means more than anything. And I love gag gifts. Just see how he interacts with your kids in the future.
I think it's too soon to know if this is deal breaker behavior or maybe he just moves slower than you and doesn't feel the connection to your kids yet.
Disclaimer: my relationship advice sucks.
