(Is it wrong that subject lines like this totally draw me in...? lol  )
Anyway, loads of good advice here. I wouldn't be too hard on him. He probably went out on a limb with this, trying to buy something cute and sexy, and kind of flunked at it - and now he's embarassed. I totally understand the feeling though that he doesn't understand you - gifts can do that. I've DEFINITELY had situations like that with my bf (if you really knew me why would you buy me this?)... Especially since you just got back from London so you're already kind of comparing this bday to what it would be in London, and this one pales in comparison (to say the least), right? ....But then you have to kind of step back and say, really, it's just a gift. He DOES know you and love you... clearly, since he also got you a really sweet and thoughtful gift (the ballet lessons).
Now you're in an yucky, akward situation though. I think I'd probably just gently start to joke about it a little, then make it funny so you guys can just laugh it off, start fresh etc. He obviously knows it was a mistake at this point so he probably won't be offended by the joking - if anything I'd think he'd be relieved to know that you're not upset with him about it. Then maybe sometime a few weeks from now (so it doesn't seem related) you could ask him if there's anything new he'd like to try in the bedroom (maybe this was supposed to be a really misguided hint? If so, your birthday probably wasn't the best choice, but oh well...)
Anyway, hope things are better for you two soon! And happy birthday again!!!
