TITLE: My boyfriend [M20] was extremely generous with his holiday gifts to me [F19], how can I make him feel appreciated in the future?
POST: My boyfriend [M20] and I [F19] have been dating for about 9 months now. He's wonderful and we have a great relationship. He was very generous with the gifts he gave me for the holidays. I was completely blown away but felt very uncomfortable because I was not nearly as generous. I know it's supposed to be the thought that counts, but I couldn't help but feel awful! 

Unfortunately I'm not really in the financial position to be super generous and I'm worried that this will continue to occur at all gift-giving occasions. How should I go about this in the future? What are good cost-friendly gift ideas? I love him a lot, and I really want to make him feel special and appreciated.
TL;DR: 
My boyfriend was extremely generous this holiday season. How do I handle future gifts and what are some cost effective gift ideas?
