The male ego is a very delicate thing (not that the female ego is not.) Anyway, I have learned to praise my H for any gift he gives me. The important thing is not the gift itself, but that he is thinking of you and wants to make you happy.
Just look into his eyes and say thank you and tell him how much you love him. I'm not very good at faking emotions/responses myself and I find this trick seems to work.
