maybe he doesn't know how to make efforts. You can indirectly tell him somehow that these small things makes you happy. He might understand

We all have our own unique ways in which we express love. We also have unique ways in which we feel loved. Simply put each one of us speaks different love languages. You express love to your partner in a way that you want to feel loved. That may not necessarily be how he may feel it. If you were to try and speak French to someone who spoke Cantonese, that person would simply not understand. You would have to make clear what your language is so that you can communicate. Same is true for love. Gifts are your love language. They may not be your partner's. That doesn't mean that he doesn't love you. It simply means that he doesnt know your language. It would be ideal if people would know what we want and just love us that way. But in reality, that doesn't happen. Relationships require conscious effort. I would urge you to please ask him how he really feels loved. You may be surprised to learnt that it is very different from what you thought. Similarly, express yours as well. Here is a link for you to better understand love languages https://cratedwithlove.com/blog/five-love-languages-and-what-they-mean/ It may also help to read the book 5 love languages by Gary Chapman. I hope this helps.
