If you bought them yourself, that's kind of passive aggressive. You said that you used to pout and act sad... so your 180 should be to ask directly. In your most charming voice: "Honey, I was really looking forward to those slippers that I sent you- did you have a hard time finding them?" (don't assume he just forgot or purposely didn't get them, men aren't' the most savvy of shoppers and it takes them a few times before they can find the right thing- just another perspective.)
By saying something that assumes he screwed up [i.e. why didn't I get the slippers? Even after you asked me?], he's automatically put in defense mode... almost a guaranteed fight. BUT if you can phrase it in a way that convey's your disappointment (like my example earlier), he's more likely to respond with an apology or explanation- and since men HATE to feel like they can't be depended on, he will most likely try to find a solution.
As far as Super Bowl, you have the *choice* to hang out and watch the game, or do something else. But PLEASE don't just make plans to prove a point, or to 'get back' at him (since he didn't keep his 'promise' to you, you feel like you shouldn't keep your 'promise' to watch the game). Maybe you decide that you want to watch half the game, and then go out for a little while.
He does need to realize that he can't just walk back in and pick up where y'all left off... he's going to have to put some effort into this as well. My fear, if I were you, would be to either come on too strong too quickly- so that he gets skiddish and backs off again OR keeping yourself too far away- so that he starts to think that you're not interested in him or excited that he's home, and again, he backs off again. There's a fine line you are walking right now- but you do have control over what you do in the R... and he needs to experience the *new* you
